Chapter 1044 - Girls lunch in Los Angeles (2/2)

”Talk about the information related to women, did you handle that woman from your lab?”, Sarah asked JoAnna after she swallowed food from her mouth.

”I'm so busy with this White business that I'm happy Bridgette is handling the resort matters.”, JoAnna admitted guiltily that she still didn't do anything about Beatriz.

Sarah frowned. ”Why are you delaying? Just fire her.”

JoAnna grimaced at Sarah.

”What woman in the lab?”, Emma asked JoAnna.

”A woman in the medical research lab at White corp. HQ does not like Anna, and Anna does not want to fire her without a good reason, and she has no time to figure out the reason.”, Sarah explained.

”Does not like you? What does that mean?”, Emma asked JoAnna.

JoAnna gave few examples when Beatriz was rude to her for no apparent reason.

Emma was surprised to hear that a grown woman can act so childishly. ”And what do you know about her motive?”

JoAnna shrugged. ”At this point, nothing. She is doing her work well, does not gossip with other employees during work hours. She sticks close to her senior Frederick. She is clean.”

Emma thought about what JoAnna said. ”A woman will act irrationally if someone is threatening her or her loved one. You said that she sticks close to her senior? What is their relationship?”

”In the lab they are professional. Friendly, but professional. Outside of the lab… I don't know.”, JoAnna admitted.

”Maybe you should find out.”, Emma said knowingly.

”Or we can make it quick. Provoke him and see how she reacts.”, Sarah suggested.

She knows that it was ages since that woman started getting on JoAnna's case, yet JoAnna is delaying acting against that woman.

They placed cameras inside the lab with a goal to capture Beatriz doing something she is not supposed to do at work, but the only thing they got are endless hours of people dripping things into petri dishes and staring into the microscopes while taking notes. If there is 'the least eventful job' award, it would be awarded to the medical research lab workers. Sarah thought that she will melt from boredom while going through just a fraction of the recordings. Luckily, she got Eve to process the rest.

Emma approved the idea to provoke the woman through her senior she is attached to, and Emma offered additional tips: ”If they have any special relationship that causes her to act hostile just by you showing up, pour some oil on fire by being extra friendly toward the guy. Invite him for a lunch, bring him a coffee without him asking for it, suggest that he stays with you after hours…”

Sarah gave a thumbs up. ”If you provoke her enough, she might blow up and deliver you on a platter a perfect reason to fire her: non-professional behavior. How about this? Me and Emma will join you in the lab and act enamored by him to add more pressure.”

Emma gave Sarah 'why-are-you-dragging-me-into-this' look, but then reluctantly nodded. If with an hour or two of acting she can help her friend, she will do it. As long as Charlie does not find out and get some crazy ideas, it will be alright. Right?
