Chapter 860

Jonah stepped into the office, where Jeremy was already waiting. “Let’s go. The meeting’s about to start,” Jonah said.

Jeremy gave him a quick once-over and pointed at his neck. “Mr. Pilsner, do you want to cover that hickey?”

Jonah glanced at his reflection in the mirror. The mark Hailey had left on his neck last night was still clearly visible.

He raised an eyebrow, looking rather pleased. “No need to cover it. Let’s go.”

With Jeremy in tow, Jonah strode out of the office.

Employees standing nearby straightened at once, greeting him with a chorus of respectful “Good morning, Mr. Pilsner.”

He didn’t break stride as he made his way toward the conference room, his steps calm and confident.

The moment he passed, the whispers started.

“Did you see the hickey on his neck? Oh my God, someone left a mark on him!”

“The meeting was supposed to start at 9:00 am. It got pushed back. I heard the execs were all waiting because he was… entertaining someone in his office. They just woke up, apparently.”

“No way. I’m already imagining the whole scene in my head!”

“I bet it was one hell of a night.”

The gossip spread like wildfire.

Hailey was already up when she stepped into the office.

Breakfast had been delivered, and Jeremy was waiting. “Good morning, Ms. Hailey. These were prepared for you on Mr. Pilsner’s orders. Please, help yourself.”

She sat down and said, “Alright, thanks.”

As Jeremy walked out, Hailey noticed several employees outside craning their necks, trying to sneak a look at her. Everyone was eager to know who Jonah’s future wife would be.

Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She had no idea why Jonah had brought her to his company.

Now the entire office knew, and he clearly wasn’t trying to keep it quiet.

Hailey lowered her gaze and began eating. Just then, a soft ringtone chimed from her phone. A call was coming in.

It was Ewan again.

She answered his call. “Ewan, this is the last time I’m picking up. I’m blocking your number after this. You’ve seriously crossed the line.”

With a low voice, Ewan replied, “You were with Jonah all night,

you? know you’ve already’s him. You are such a slut, Hailey.” s

him. You are such a smine?

Hailey let out a cold laugh. “Sleeping with Jonah makes me a slut? Then let me make it clear like him, and t

feel better?”

Ewan clenched his fists. “Hailey, you—”

Suddenly, he shifted his tone. “Hailey, I want to see you. Just once.”

“No. I’m not meeting you, and I haven’t forgotten what you did to my family.”

“Are you sure about that? Don’t you want to know what really happened to Jonah’s face?”

Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. She

had asked Jonah about his face more than once, but he had always avoided giving her a straight answer. s

Something about it didn’t sit right with her. She knew there was a story behind it.

“Ewan, you know what happened to his face?” she asked.

“I do.”

“Then tell me!”

“I will. But only if we talk face to face.”

Ewan wanted to meet her in person.

Hailey was silent for a moment before responding, “Send me the address. I’ll come right now.”

“Alright.”

Jonah had been in a meeting for an hour. After it ended, he made his way back to

his office and pushed the door open.

“Hai—”

He froze. There was no one in his office.

Hailey had left.

Where had she gone?

He turned to Jeremy. “Where did Hailey go?”

“I’m not sure, Mr. Pilsner. I saw her answer a call, and then she left right after.”
