Chapter 646 - New friend? (1/2)
Jeff and JoAnna enjoyed lunch in the restaurant at the resort. They chatted while exchanging loving gazes and 'accidental' touches of their knees under the table, both feeling high from their previous activity.
”What will you do about that man?” He was referring to Jules.
”Nothing. He is not important.” JoAnna would not give that Jules another second of her time if she can help it. He is not a significant person in her life.
”How about Regina?” Jeff is concerned that Regina will give trouble to JoAnna. That woman does not look stable.
”She embarrassed herself today. We will save surveillance videos and watch them as funny movies. By the way, if you want to ask her anything…” JoAnna glanced at her wristwatch which Jeff gifted her when they got engaged. ”…you have about half an hour during which she can't tell lies.”
Jeff smiled seeing that JoAnna is wearing the wristwatch which matches his.
He held her hand and squeezed it gently. ”I don't think there is anything she can tell me that I don't already know. And I prefer avoiding talking to her, if possible. I hope you keep your distance from her as well, because no one knows what she might do. I'm concerned for your safety.”
”Suit yourself.” JoAnna responded casually, but she was happy that Jeff refused to talk to Regina. In a way, she tested him… and he passed. She likes that Jeff will keep his distance from women who are lusting over him.
”I decided that whenever she approaches me, I make sure she experiences one of my… creations.” JoAnna showed an evil grin.
Jeff sighed thinking how JoAnna is playing with fire. But there is nothing he can do to stop her, because once JoAnna decides on something, she goes for it and opposing her will only cause conflict. He might as well support her. ”I want you to promise me only one thing.”
JoAnna paused and lifted her eyebrows, waiting to hear Jeff's request.
”Be careful.” He patted her head, like she is a child.
”Of course.” JoAnna smiled. ”I promise that I will not sit and wait for her to make the first move. I will make her life here a living hell. And eventually, she will realize that strange things are happening when she is next to me… so she will avoid me. And you.”
…
JoAnna and Bridgette waved at the departing helicopter which carried Jeff and Steve back to White corp.
”You are glowing.”, Bridgette observed.
”So are you. I didn't see you at our favorite restaurant. Did you order room service in the suite?”, JoAnna almost sang her last question.
”You said it's mine to use anytime. It's a waste not to use it, right?” Bridgette shyly said.
”Of course! I'm just teasing… look at you!” JoAnna pinched Bridgette's cheeks. ”There is nothing wrong with enjoying your man during lunch!”
Bridgette paused. ”You wanted to say that there is nothing wrong with enjoying lunch with your man, right?”
JoAnna laughed. ”Whatever makes you comfortable!” She was in a good mood.
…
JoAnna is with Julia and Heather in the flower garden, discussing few last items on the list.
”In this garden we can make path our of roses and cover it with rose petals. It will connect the seating area with the beach…”, Julia recommended.
JoAnna thought about it. ”Sounds nice, but what if it's windy? The petals will end up everywhere and make a mess.”
”Oh, right…”, Julia scratched that idea from her notebook.
”Miss Hill, may I have a word with you?” Man's voice came from few steps away. It's Jules.
