Chapter 582 - Regina Heaven (1) (1/2)
Bridgette got a text from JoAnna: ”We are in the restaurant, 4th floor.”
She thought for few seconds and responded to JoAnna: ”Coming. Warning: finance person might be into Big Boss”
Bridgette showed text from JoAnna to Steve and then spoke to Regina: ”Miss Heaven, we can go upstairs now.”
Regina stood up without delay unable to hide her eagerness to see Jeff.
Bridgette rolled her eyes and observed that Steve is also irritated by this woman.
…
In the restaurant, JoAnna raised her eyebrows while reading response from Bridgette and kept her phone away. ”Tell me about this finance person you got here.”
Jeff didn't notice chilliness which enshrouded JoAnna. He was still high from their activity in JoAnna's office.
”Regina Heaven. She handled finances for several resorts which my family owns. Very capable, I'm sure she will be useful until you find someone for that position.”
”Is she… attractive?” JoAnna tried to see if his expression will reveal anything. But she only found out that Jeff didn't even notice that woman. 'This man is totally oblivious of women who are lusting over him!' JoAnna was not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
”I don't know…” He never paid attention how Regina looks like.
Jeff thought for a second about her question. Why would JoAnna ask if the person who does finances is attractive? Then his face lit up. ”Are you jealous?”
JoAnna frowned. ”How can I be jealous of a person I don't even know? … Is she interested in you?”
Jeff shrugged. ”How should I know? I just met her, and I was working…”
Seeing that JoAnna is jealous, Jeff grinned: ”You know that your future husband is a good catch, right?”
JoAnna rolled her eyes seeing how Jeff is being childish. If roles are reversed, he would be fuming like a steam locomotive! She could not believe that he is trying to provoke her like that. But it is the truth that thinking about other women lusting over her man is rubbing her in a wrong way.
”Of course, I know you are a good catch! But you are already caught. Mine. And no other woman should get an idea that she can have you.”
”I like when you are… possessive.” Jeff wanted to kiss her, but he was aware that they are in a restaurant of the resort she owns. As a boss, she should maintain an image of person of authority, and not act like an enamored teenager. So, he decided to kiss back of her palm. His intense gaze told JoAnna that just back of her palm is not enough to satisfy him.
…
Bridgette showed the way to the restaurant.
Steve walked behind Bridgette and Regina. He didn't want to talk much with this Regina person, he didn't like her much, and he was happy that she will stay and work here at the resort. Steve saw that woman ogle at Jeff, and he knows that if she works at White corp. HQ it would cause a lot of headaches. Her staying at the resort means that she will see Jeff only when he comes to visit JoAnna. There is no other reason for them to meet, right? Eh, Steve's thoughts made sense, but he does not know that woman determined to pursue her romantic interest does not think rationally.
