288 Private island (1)

Jeff and JoAnna are in the elevator, going up to his office. Jeff's hand is still on JoAnna's waist. She can feel him tightening his grip.

"What do you think?" She asked him.

"You are beautiful." His gaze never left her.

JoAnna giggled. "I meant about handling the issue with that pretend girlfriend."

"Oh, beautifully done." He said absentmindedly. It was obvious that he has something else on his mind.

JoAnna looked at him and noticed that he is staring at her, dazed. She smiled.

The elevator door opened.

"Aren't we going to get out?" JoAnna asked. Jeff didn't react, so she raised her voice. "Jeff?!!"

"What?" He got startled.

"Elevator. It's open..."

"Yes, come." He guided her down the hallway to his office. His secretary was curiously watching two of them walking from the elevator. She understood that the lady next to her boss must be his real girlfriend and did her best not to stare.
