283 Fake girlfriend (4)

In Jeff's apartment, Jeff held JoAnna in his embrace for a long time after conference call ended.

"You should go to work..." JoAnna reminded him.

"I can go later." Jeff wanted to make sure she is feeling OK. JoAnna was visibly shaken up when Sophia said that Greg is still not apprehended.

"You have security outside. No one can come close to you. You are safe here.", Jeff was soothing her.

"The only place I feel truly safe is right here." JoAnna snuggled deeper into his hug.

Jeff felt his heart swell, knowing that she feels safe with him. He was elated to hear confirmation that she is relying on him.

"Uhm… I will need to go shopping later." JoAnna said weakly.

"Shopping? You can order online, and it will be delivered." Jeff found a solution for her to stay inside, safe.

"I need to do this in person." JoAnna persisted.

Jeff paused for a second, before coming up with another solution that works. "We can go together. Now, or when I'm back from work."
