Chapter 644 - Event at Golden Ocean Resort (2)

"Miss Heaven, watch your language." JoAnna frowned. As much as she likes playing this game with Jules, and she thought that Regina might bring in some spice, hearing that she started with insults right away is not something that JoAnna will allow. And to make it worse, she spat some nonsense about JoAnna showing interest in anyone other than Jeff!

JoAnna's fingers moved through her purse while she considered how to make this nasty woman keep her mouth shut. A second later, smirk appeared on JoAnna's face when she thought that maybe she does not want Regina to watch her language.

"Miss Heaven, if I remember correctly, you love strawberries." JoAnna reached for a plate with a slice of cake.

"Try this strawberry mousse cake. I hear it's amazing." JoAnna's body covered Regina's view of the cake only for a second, but it was enough for JoAnna to crush a capsule above it, and few drops to fall on the pink colored dessert.

Regina took the plate and observed it hesitantly. She could not understand why is JoAnna suddenly giving her a cake. And why did she say that she loves strawberries? She does not hate them, but they are not her favorites either. Did she do something with it? Impossible. She took a random plate from the table, right in front of her.

JoAnna handed her a fork. "You know, this one is Jeffrey's favorite."

That line did the trick and Regina gulped the cake in few bites.

JoAnna wondered if Regina has some split personality. In reports, it showed that she is a top scholar, acing anything related to finances, but when it came to Jeff (or Aiden or maybe as long as they are rich and good looking anyone will do) Regina acted like a total moron. Did she really gulp the cake only because JoAnna said that is Jeff's favorite? That does not make sense. But hey, it worked!

Regina grabbed a glass of lemon water from the passing waiter to wash down the sweetness.

JoAnna turned to Jules. "You were saying something?"

Jules looked confused for few seconds before he spoke: "Yes, about you not being kicked out…" he glanced toward Regina. "I thought you are the only one but seeing that this woman is familiar with you it seems that two of you sneaked in here."

Regina fumed. "Who sneaked in?"

JoAnna spoke before Regina could say more. "Miss Heaven, are you going to deny that you have no business being here? Even if you are taking your lunch break you should take it elsewhere, because this is a private event."

Regina was stunned. JoAnna was right. Her work is inside main building, and this is the banquet hall. Other than guests and staff working on catering the event, no one else should be here. Of course, JoAnna is and exception because as the owner of the resort, she can go anywhere.

Regina's eyes shifted nervously. "I came to talk to you."

"About what you want to talk to me?" JoAnna smiled while thinking that the truth serum should kick in right… about… now.

"What I wanted to talk to you?" Regina paused. "Nothing, really. That is just an excuse. I was hoping that Jeffrey will be with you, and I get a chance to see him, and maybe even steal him from you. But I see that this stud is here, so there is a chance that Jeff is not coming. In that case, I can have a go at him…" Regina's eyes opened wide in horror while she stared at Jules. "Why am I saying this? Why can't I keep my mouth shout?" She panicked.

JoAnna swallowed bitter taste in her mouth. She knows that Regina is after Jeff... but knowing it and hearing her say it openly like that are two totally different things. JoAnna wanted to slap this annoying woman until she bleeds from her ears!

JoAnna's mood improved a bit when she saw how outraged Jules was. "What do you say? Will you let her have a go at you?"

Jules looked at Regina whose appearance is not bad, but what's with her attitude? A TV star like him has plenty of women throwing themselves at him, why would he be with a woman who has such a shitty personality? Will she sleep with him and few weeks later come back claiming that she is carrying his child? She came to steal some man named Jeff, but since he is not here, she will take on Jules? If she is so shamelessly talking, who knows what else he can expect from her. And did she just treat him as a second best? HIM? How dares she? Since when is he a second choice? He was deeply offended by Regina's words.

Jules frowned. "She can have me only in her dreams. And even for that, if I find evidence, I'm going to sue her!"

Regina glared at him. "How dare you! I am so much better than she is!" She pointed at JoAnna. "Why are you willing to be with her and not with me? What do you see in her that I don't have? You might be very handsome, but you are also blind!" Regina was raging while at the same time tears pooled in her eyes from embarrassment. How can she say these things? And why is she saying them? She turned around and dashed away.

Regina almost bumped into Bridgette who approached JoAnna.

"Boss, it's almost time." Bridgette came to tell her that Jeff and Steve are about to arrive.

Hearing that Jeff is coming improved JoAnna's mood greatly. "Oh, can you please wait for them, and bring them here? I'm in the middle of something."

Bridgette agreed and left.

Jules looked at JoAnna. "Boss?"

JoAnna smiled. "That is my personal assistant."

"I see…" Jules nodded. "I have one as well." He pointed toward the group of people who were throwing glances their way.

JoAnna laughed. "This is not a competition who has more, mister fake doctor."

Jules frowned. "Why are you calling me that? You know I'm an actor, right?"

Heather and Julia returned and approached JoAnna.

"Miss Hill, we are done checking out… oh…", Heather paused while looking at Jules with her eyes open wide.

"Sorry to interrupt!" Julia almost screamed and then cleared her throat. "Can I get an autograph?" She asked Jules in a quiet voice.

"Me too!" Heather added.

Jules smiled, satisfied with their reaction. "All three of you can get autographs!"

"Eh? Who said I want one?" JoAnna looked at him innocently.

Jules thought how JoAnna is a frustrating woman. Is she his fan or not? What kind of a personality is that?

JoAnna could see his displeasure and laughed.

Jules observed that Heather and Julia also don't have nametags. "It seems that security in here is lacking! I will need to file a complaint!" He thought of letting JoAnna go for sneaking in, because of her good looks. But this is now four women, one considered him as a second best, and JoAnna is laughing at him! He had enough!

"You want to file a complaint?" JoAnna still laughed.

Jules squinted at JoAnna for a second before losing his patience completely.

"Security!", he roared.

Two men approached him within few seconds. "Yes? How can we help you?"

They were extra polite because their Boss is right there.

"These women have no right to be here. Kick them out!" Jules pointed at JoAnna, Heather and Julia.
