Chapter 285 - Gregory Light (4)

That morning, Greg followed Jeff from his apartment building to the White corp. parking.

'No surprises here... this is where he works.' Assuming that Jeff will be in the office most of the day, Greg left and drove through the city for some time. He stopped for food in one restaurant and made sure to pay with cash. Then he went back to the Jeff's apartment building and parked in front watching the underground parking entrance for residents. Every time security gate of parking entrance opened; Greg would carefully watch. Observing. Memorizing faces of people who got in and out. All those are people who live in this building... it might be useful to be able to recognize them.

Later that afternoon, the security gate opened... a black luxury car exited, two men in front, and a woman with sunglasses in the back. Large sunglasses covered most of her face, but Greg jolted in his seat when his eyes landed on her. 'That is JoAnna!' He would recognize her among thousand look-a-likes. His body was frozen while his mind worked thousand thoughts per second. 'JoAnna! What is she doing there? How come she exited that building? I didn't see her enter... Unless...??!... Is she staying in there with him? With Jeffrey White? That would explain why he didn't come out last night to meet with her... because she was already inside, waiting for him??!' Greg had difficulty accepting the thought of JoAnna being with Jeff. He always thought that she is a girl who is saving herself for him... and the thought of her being with anyone else drove him crazy. 'No, no... it's not true... just a coincidence. There is no way that she is with him... That she is staying with him... That she is allowing him to touch her.'

Greg started his car and followed JoAnna's, while maintaining one to two cars distance in order to avoid suspicion. It was not his first time following JoAnna, so he already knew how to do it and not to be noticed. He followed her to the mall parking lot.

Greg was surprised to see that besides two bodyguards who drove with her, two more joined them shortly after they parked. Bodyguards surrounded her while she walked, maintaining few steps distance and observing surrounding. It was obvious that they are well trained.

Greg followed them from the distance. He saw that JoAnna entered clothing store and wanted to follow. He will get a great chance to approach her while she is in the dressing room! Greg's mood dropped when saw that bodyguards are not letting anyone else come inside. He could not get in, so he waited, dejected.

He watched JoAnna get into the shoe store, and then into the styling salon. She took her time in there. Greg was sitting behind a large artificial plant staring towards the styling salon. Anxiously waiting for his gaze to fall on JoAnna again. After some time, he started thinking again... 'Why was she in that apartment building? Did she stay there overnight? Did she stay in there with Jeffrey White?!!' He was enraged while thinking about that. Thought of Jeff holding JoAnna intimately made him almost lose his mind. He felt the urge to rush into that saloon, grab JoAnna and make her admit that she has nothing to do with Jeff... because she belongs to him. But he knows that he can't go through those bodyguards... there is four of them. Unless he finds some way to distract them. Or to incapacitate them. A shot of strong anesthetic will do. Greg was getting all kinds of ideas how to get rid of bodyguards so that he can get closer to JoAnna.

'JoAnna... pretty JoAnna... my JoAnna... beautiful JoAnna' He chanted in his mind while his eyes didn't leave that saloon. 'What is she doing in there for so long? Is she getting ready for something? Or someone?' Again, name Jeffrey White came into his mind, and his anger flared. 'That bastard! How dares he to seduce her? Yes, yes... he tricked her, he seduced her... my pretty, innocent JoAnna... She is mine, how dares he even to think about her!?? He will pay... I will make him pay... He dares to touch something that is mine, and I will make him pay... he spoiled JoAnna... my pretty, innocent JoAnna... now is spoiled because of him!'

Greg saw bodyguards shifting, and JoAnna came into his sight. She changed into different clothes, and her hair was a bit different, wavier, and there was some light makeup... Greg always noticed even the smallest changes about her... He would notice even the smallest crack on her lips due to cold wind in winter, and the cherry chap stick she applied. He noticed when she changed rubber band which held her hair into a ponytail. He noticed every little detail, because he always watched her. And now, JoAnna looked much more feminine, much more alluring.

Greg held his breath and didn't blink while staring at her. She never looked like this before. The JoAnna he looked at now, was not an innocent girl he always knew. JoAnna that came out of the styling salon is a seductress who can take a breath away from any man who glances at her.

Greg was dazed for some time... and then he realized that they are leaving the mall. He rushed after JoAnna and the bodyguards wondering why did JoAnna got dressed up like that.

Greg followed them all the way until they entered parking of White corp.

Greg parked on the street side parking and squeezed the steering wheel in rage until his knuckles turned white. 'So, it's for him! She got dressed up for him! She is staying with him!'

Greg's mind was so clouded with fury that he didn't notice JoAnna walk out of the parking lot back to the street. She was followed by bodyguards toward the main entrance of White corp. building. Right at the door, her steps stopped for a moment while she took her phone out from her purse. She smiled while looking at the phone. JoAnna accepted the call and walked inside the building.
