Chapter 576 - Great Ocean Resort (5) (2/2)

Jeff and Steve didn't talk between each other. This type of hostile meeting was not new for them. The way two of them communicated without a word put additional pressure on people who are on the other side of the table.

More than once, Steve saw how ruthless Jeff can be when dealing with people. That is why he respects him and fears him at the same time.

”You can leave now.”, Jeff's cold voice rang in the conference room.

Dorian stood up to leave, but he didn't move. He gathered his courage to ask. ”Why?”

Jeff thought for a second and then decided to let them know how they offended him. The more people know that he will not allow anyone to bully JoAnna, the better. He opened his laptop and projected on the large TV screen video from that morning, of JoAnna and Bridgette waiting for Mr. Luck. He paused the video and stood up.

”These two ladies…” Jeff gestured toward JoAnna and Bridgette. ”…had an appointment at your resort this morning. They waited for almost an hour, and they didn't get any explanation or an apology. And then your staff disrespected them, probably assuming that they are not worthy of your resort.”

”Is that it?”, Spencer asked in disbelief. It's two women who waited for an appointment, and possibly faced rude staff. How can that be worth his family losing the resort which they painstakingly built from ground up?

Jeff's face darkened. ”One of those two ladies is my fiancée.”

Spencer wanted to say something else, but Dorian stopped him.

”Does this answer your question?”, Jeff looked at Dorian.

Dorian responded with a series of rapid nods while clutching envelope with photos which are incriminating him. He also thought that Jeff is unreasonable, but he didn't dare say anything. He understood that they offended fiancée of Jeffrey White, and this is their punishment. They should leave while they can.

Dorian pulled Rachel and Spencer up and ushered them toward the exit and after few steps he stopped in his tracks and turned to face Jeff.

”Uhm, CEO White…”, his voice was trembling. ”Do we get the originals?” He was referring to the photos.

”No.” Jeff glanced at their outraged expressions before continuing: ”I want you to know that I have them, so that you don't even think of retaliating. And if anything happens to my fiancée, I will find out about it.”

Dorian and Spencer clenched their teeth while Rachel stared at Jeff with her mouth half open.

Rachel was still processing what happened. When she realized that this cold and handsome CEO did all this for the sake of his fiancée, she started thinking how that is… romantic.

Seeing that they are not moving, Jeff gestured with his hand and four bodyguards escorted three members of Halley family out of the White corp. HQ building.

Jeff exhaled with a satisfied smirk on his face. He handed paperwork that Dorian, Spencer and Rachel signed to Steve. ”How much time you need to transfer these to Anna?”

”I have everything ready. It should not take more than five minutes.” Steve took papers and exited conference room.

Jeff got his phone and texted JoAnna: ”Done with work, see you soon.”

He smiled when he saw that she responded within few seconds saying that she is waiting for him, and there was an emoji sending a kiss.
