Chapter 580 - Great Ocean Resort (9) (2/2)
…
”You should have seen their faces… that shock… that disbelief…”, JoAnna laughed while telling Jeff over video chat from her office. ”And then I said: 'you need to pay for those clothes'…”
Jeff laughed with her. ”I'm glad you are enjoying.”
”Yes, yes! And it's all thanks to you! Thank you!” She sent few flying kisses to the camera.
Jeff gestured as if he is catching them, and he blew few kisses back to her.
JoAnna laughed while catching his kisses.
”Let's celebrate! How about dinner? My treat!”
”Will you cook?”, Jeff was excited.
JoAnna frowned. ”No time for that. I'm a busy woman. I have a lot of things to do… How about you come here? We can have dinner in the restaurant, food is really good. I recommend chocolate cake for dessert. And you can see this place… Just bring some clothes, I've got five bedroom apartment upstairs where we can freshen up and relax...”
”OK.” Jeff accepted. He wanted to see the apartment. ”I will bring clothes for you as well… I will let you know when I head out.”
…
JoAnna was going through list of things to do with Bridgette. They wanted to meet the employees, learn about resort and how it operates, as well as challenges it's facing.
”If we have a good pace, it will take us three days to settle things here. Then we can focus on the wedding.”, JoAnna concluded.
JoAnna admitted that she has a lot to learn.
”How much do you want to be involved in running this resort?”, Bridgette was curious.
”I don't know.” JoAnna shrugged. ”At this point it's new, so I'm interested to find out about it. Later I might hire someone to be in charge while I focus on my things... But it's early to tell. I might end up liking this… I admit, I enjoyed today. Meetings, talking about important stuff, making decisions and firing people. This position of power is something that I'm liking more than I thought I would.”
”Whatever you decide I'm here to help out.”, Bridgette reminded her.
JoAnna was happy that Bridgette is considerate. She told Bridgette that Jeff is coming for dinner.
”Will you stay here overnight?”
”Maybe…?”, JoAnna grinned.
Bridgette felt the need to explain herself. She does not want to appear to be too nosy. ”I'm only asking so that I know if I'm going back by myself or with your company… but since Big Boss is coming, I guess I should not count on your company.”
”Ah, do you think Jeff will come without Steve, knowing that you are here?” JoAnna winked. ”Don't worry. We will talk during dinner. If we stay overnight, I will make sure you get the best room in the resort. Or… you are welcome to stay with us in the penthouse; it has five bedrooms. How does that sound? Then… in the morning, guys can go to work, and we save time on commute.”
Bridgette approved. ”We will go with room in the resort, please. I will call Steve to make sure he gets clothes for us.”
Bridgette thought that there is NO WAY they will stay overnight in the same apartment with Big Boss and Lady Boss.
