Chapter 577 - Golden Ocean Resort (6)



Jeff arrived at the penthouse and was greeted by JoAnna leaping on him as soon as he stepped through the door.

"I missed you!", she exclaimed.

Her arms were around his neck and her legs around his waist. JoAnna refused to let go and Jeff walked to the bedroom with her stuck like that on him while raining kisses all over his face. He laughed at the thought that she is like an adorable monkey.

"You said you will be home on time…", JoAnna complained while he changed clothes.

"I know. Something came up, and I had to deal with that myself.", Jeff pacified her.

"I hope you are hungry. I made dinner.", JoAnna grinned.

Jeff was surprised, she cooks well but not often.

JoAnna explained that she was not in the mood to continue her search for wedding venues, so she got groceries with Bridgette and made dinner. Steve is also enjoying a home-cooked dinner.

"I hope it\'s still good. It was ready for 7 PM, and it\'s in the warmer since then." JoAnna pouted while worrying that food might not be good anymore. He told her he will be late, but he didn\'t say how much late.

Jeff promised that he will eat it, even if it\'s not good.

Luckily, food was still good. And he liked it very much. Two of them chatted happily while eating.

After dinner, Jeff and JoAnna went outside on the terrace and enjoyed the view of the stars while holding each other on an oversized chaise.

"I have a hypothetical question for you." Jeff pushed unruly lock behind her ear.

"Yes?"

"If you could do anything, and I mean anything, to people who got you upset this morning, what would you do?"

JoAnna frowned slightly. She didn\'t want to talk to Jeff about that experience. She knows that he will only be upset. At the same time, she thought that this is a way for Jeff to find out more about her.

"Hypothetically… If I could do anything… I would give them a taste of their own medicine." JoAnna paused before explaining further. "Besides my pride, nothing else was hurt, and I don\'t know if I can say that they hurt me. It\'s more like they annoyed me because I know that they were wrong with their assumptions. I\'m confident that I\'m not wrong to say that what they did was practiced, I was not the first one. If I painstakingly saved money to have my wedding there, and then got told that I\'m not worthy by some receptionists and low level manager… The pain would be unbearable. Those people are not rich, they just work there. What gives them right to put down others? Even if they are rich, such a behavior is not acceptable."

Jeff was pleased with her answer, but he wanted to find out more. "How would you fix things, if you could?"

"Hypothetically?"

Jeff nodded. 

"I would make them feel unworthy without giving them an explanation. And then I would fire everyone who goes along with this bullying practice. As for the others who are left working there after I purge bad apples, I would make sure that they treat every customer with dignity. Decision if service will be provided should depend only on the money. If the person can afford it, there is no need to look into their social status. And if for some reason service needs to be denied, the staff should not mock potential customers."

"You thought about this.", Jeff noticed that she has more than just random thoughts.

"Yeah." JoAnna admitted and smiled. "While making dinner I was thinking of dressing up fancy and going back there to sort them out as future Mrs. White. Here they don\'t know Hill family, so they treated me like I\'m a nobody. But this is your town, and everyone who is someone knows about you. Imagine their faces when they find out that they denied service to all powerful Jeffrey White. I\'m sure they would eat their own underwear."

Jeff laughed. "Perfect!"

Jeff lifted JoAnna up and carried her to the study room.

When she asked what is going on, he told her to be patient. "You will find out in a minute." He winked.

Jeff placed JoAnna on the sofa and went to get his briefcase.

Few seconds later, JoAnna stared at the document in her hands with disbelief.

"What…? How…? When…?", JoAnna was not able to finish any question and she had hundreds in her mind at that moment.

Jeff gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "No one bullies my wife. You can go and sort them out anytime you want. Not just as a future Mrs. White, but as a new owner."

He saw that she is hesitant, as she placed document on the table.

"Treat this as a wedding gift." Jeff encouraged her to accept it.

JoAnna exhaled. "It\'s too much." She can\'t imagine the cost of such a large luxury resort.

Jeff chuckled. "Not really... Would you believe me if I told you that I paid 100 dollars for it and not a cent more?"

JoAnna looked into his eyes and could tell that he is telling the truth. \'This man is beyond amazing!\'

"If anyone can get that resort for 100 dollars, that would be you." JoAnna laughed.

She remembered that Sarah called her in the afternoon asking if she is OK. Sarah didn\'t mention the resort, but she left a reminder to JoAnna not to allow others to bully her.

"Did Sarah help with this?", JoAnna pointed at the document which stated that she is 100% owner of Golden Ocean Resort.

Jeff didn\'t deny it.

JoAnna laughed. "You are shameless. Mine, adorable  and shameless. And I wouldn\'t want you any other way!"

"Thank you!", she gave Jeff a loud smacking kiss on the lips.

Jeff was happy with her reaction. And he was surprised that she accepted this without asking additional questions.

JoAnna didn\'t want to ask for details. Considering that Sarah was involved, she has a rough guess how things ended up like this. And she is not a saint, she likes this. Those people wronged her, and now she can get her revenge in style. This also explained why he was late from work: because he was doing things for her. JoAnna felt her heart melt. Her future husband is the best!

  "Oh!", she exclaimed. "It\'s not only sorting them out. We will have our wedding there as well!"

JoAnna went to get her laptop from the desk and laughed on the way back to the sofa. "As an owner, I will give you a special discount!"

JoAnna leaned into Jeff\'s embrace and pointed at the resort map on the laptop screen while talking with enthusiasm: "Here we will arrange tables for guests… this here is the garden. You should see it. It\'s beyond beautiful… and the beach is with white sand, it reminded me of that island with a white villa… we will have our ceremony there… and here is a nice forest… Oh! Did you know that my resort has a shooting range and stables? …"

JoAnna happily chatted about her ideas for the wedding and the resort, and Jeff listened while playing with a strand of her hair.
