Chapter 758 - JoAnna and Madison (2) (1/2)
~ Golden Ocean Resort ~
There is a knock on the door of JoAnna's office.
'Aiden, after this you owe me big time! Sarah also!' JoAnna exhaled. ”Yes?”
Resort staffer peeked in and said: ”Boss, Madison Turner is here to see you.”
”Thank you, please show her in and you are free to go.”
Madison strutted into the office while looking around. She was halfway in when her eyes landed on JoAnna and she stopped in her tracks. ”You!” Her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.
JoAnna smiled and sank deeper into her office chair. ”Me.”
”Why are you here?”, Madison squeezed through her teeth.
”You wanted to talk to someone in charge. I am the owner of the resort. I hear that you have complains against my staff.” JoAnna gestured toward the chair on the other side of her desk. ”Please, have a seat and tell me what is on your mind. I assure you that customer's satisfaction is our top priority and I will take your every word very seriously.”
…
Few minutes earlier, Bridgette was about to enter the elevator and go to JoAnna's office, when she got messages on her phone:
[JoAnna]: ”Send to my office everyone who has anything to discuss with me. One by one. Regardless of how big or a small issue is.”
[JoAnna]: ”Find two restaurants with best privacy ratings downtown Los Angeles, fairly far away from each other.”
Bridgette was not sure what to make out of it. It's after nine… brunch starts in less than an hour. Why would JoAnna want to meet with people now? And what's with these restaurants? Shouldn't they get ready for brunch? No matter how confusing it sounded, Bridgette has no intention to question JoAnna. She started making phone calls.
Back to present… up in JoAnna's office…
JoAnna is facing Madison who is obviously confused with the situation she found herself in.
This is something Madison didn't anticipate. Owner of the resort? Doesn't that mean that she can get kicked out? Madison scoffed. This woman can't kick her out, no matter who she is. She received a wedding invitation from the White family! And regardless of this woman's background, her resort is hosting the wedding, which means that right now she is employed by the White family. So that is how she caught Aiden's eye…
While Madison was busy with her thoughts, JoAnna observed her with a faint smile on her face.
There was a knock on the door and Miriam, woman who handles events organized at the resort, entered.
”Boss, there are few urgent issues that require you to look at. Is this the right time?”
JoAnna glanced at Madison. ”You don't mind, do you?”, she didn't wait for a response before gesturing to Miriam to come over.
About ten minutes later, Miriam thanked JoAnna and headed out. The door didn't close behind her when the next person peeked in: ”Boss, latest numbers are in. You need to approve it so that people get their paychecks on time.”
