Chapter 578 - Great Ocean Resort (7) (1/2)

~ Los Angeles area, Great Ocean Resort ~

JoAnna made sure to arrive at Great Ocean Resort next day in style. Two cars in front, and two in the back accompanied black Maybach which JoAnna and Bridgette used to reach the resort that late morning.

JoAnna and Bridgette went early to a salon for hair and makeup appointments.

JoAnna wore a dark red Donna Karan side sheath dress which ended just above her knees and hugged her body perfectly.

Bridgette was in a black suit by Gucci with a mini skirt and peak lapel jacket. Lapels had tan details and jacket accentuated her waist.

Both of them had oversized Chanel sunglasses and high heeled Manolo Blahnik pumps witch they purchased during their recent trip to Paris.

The scene of JoAnna entering with Bridgette surrounded with bodyguards was very impressive.

Receptionists immediately saw that these are very rich and important people. Considering that all these people followed JoAnna, the resort staff and onlookers concluded that she is the main character in this scene which unfolded in front of them.

JoAnna stopped few steps from the reception, and Bridgette stepped forward. ”We are here for 11 o'clock meeting with managers.”

Receptionist didn't even ask for names. ”Of course, please, this way…”, she showed them the way toward the elevators, and led them to the conference room on the fifth floor.

JoAnna already checked floorplan of this main building. This building has a reception, a coffee shop on main floor, as well as a lounging area with a bar and few offices for meeting clients. Other four floors were for entertainment and relaxation with a casino, spa and restaurants. There are no guest rooms in this building.

Fifth floor has three conference rooms and offices for upper management.

Sixth floor is a five bedroom penthouse with a huge open terrace. That is reserved for the owner. JoAnna looks forward to seeing that penthouse, it must have amazing views. But business first.

They entered conference room with seven people already inside. They are people who manage property and employees. JoAnna walked to the head of the table and Bridgette stood next to her. They waited for bodyguards to arrange themselves around the room and the lady from reception to leave.

JoAnna removed her glasses and looked with an icy expression at people in front of her while Bridgette arranged on the table laptop and folders with documents.

JoAnna gave a small nod before speaking. ”Good morning. By now you should be aware that Halley family does not own Golden Ocean Resort.”

Seven people were stunned. They didn't know.

JoAnna glanced at Bridgette and she handed copies of documents to the people.

”My name is JoAnna Hill, and as you can see, I own 100% of Golden Ocean Resort.” JoAnna gave them a minute to confirm that they understand that they are looking at their new Boss.

”Mister Flan, Mister Jackson…”, she glanced at two older gentlemen. ”You are fired.”

Two men bolted on their feet and started shouting: ”Who do you think you are? What does this mean? What gives you the right? ...” Both of them spoke at the same time and they were noisy.

JoAnna frowned and glanced at bodyguards.

Two bodyguards approached the table, one was next to Mr. Flan and other was next to Mr. Jackson. Bodyguards placed hands on men's shoulders forcing them to sit down. Mr. Flan and Mr. Jackson were scared silly from bodyguards and they stopped talking.
