Chapter 584 - Regina Heaven (3) (2/2)
~ White corp. HQ ~
Steve exited the now empty conference room and went to meet with Regina who was waiting for him in lounge for visitors on main floor of White corp. HQ.
Steve reminded himself to stay calm while he approached Regina who was nervously tapping her foot on the floor.
”When can I meet with CEO White?”, Regina was not aware that Jeff is not there.
She came to White corp. HQ, fuming at receptionist while demanding to see Jeff. Receptionist called Steve. When Regina told Steve that she wants to see Jeff because no one came to pick her up and take her to work to the resort, Steve told her to wait and he went away to talk to Jeff out of Regina's earshot. Regina assumed that Jeff is in the building, and Steve went to talk to him (in person).
”Miss Heaven, you can't see CEO White. And he told me to give you a message: since you are not an employee of White corp., he does not understand why are you expecting us to arrange for your transportation from hotel to work.”
Regina felt her world spinning. ”You are lying! I want to see CEO White! NOW!”
Steve glanced around and saw that her shouting attracted attention of people nearby.
”Miss Heaven, I will repeat once more: you can't see CEO White. As for your transportation, unless it is stated in your contract that your employer will provide for it, you need to take care of it yourself. And if you continue being unreasonable, you leave me with no other option than to ask security to escort you out of the building.”
Regina's face twisted from anger. She glared at Steve for few seconds before turning around and angrily stomping out of the building.
She was upset that she didn't get a car with a driver for her commute to work. And she was even more upset that she didn't get to see Jeff. Regina called a cab to take her to Golden Ocean Resort.

Jeff just finished his talk with Steve and wanted to find out more.
”I thought you will arrange transportation for her.”
”I never said that… I said that you should not interfere because Regina is my employee. Did you hear me say I will arrange a car for her?” JoAnna could not hide that she is pleased with herself.
Jeff laughed. ”You are right, Mrs. White… but isn't she going to call you now?”
JoAnna smirked. ”She does not have my number. She might call Bridgette, and I already told Bridgette how to handle her. If Regina causes a ruckus, the four bodyguards I left behind for Bridgette will take care of her. Regina thinks that she is special. You should have seen her when she strutted yesterday afternoon into my office… she was holding her head so high that I thought her nose will get lost in the clouds. By the time I was done with her, she was looking at her shoes while walking out. And I know that next time I see her, she will be back, full of herself. I don't know what kind of vitamins she is taking so that her vigor returns so quickly! But I will make sure to teach her that she is not special as many times as necessary until it gets engraved into her mind. She can't do what she wants. Not on my territory.”
”Your territory?”
”Yes. This here…” JoAnna moved and got on top of Jeff, straddling him. ”…is part of my territory.” She leaned and gave him a deep kiss.
Jeff held her tightly and returned her kiss.
He likes this JoAnna who takes charge and makes no excuses to protect what is hers. And he likes her when she is playful and carefree as well. He likes every side of her, except when she is sad… that breaks his heart. And he will do whatever he can so that she never gets sad.
