Chapter 815
Hailey , Jonah, Ewan, and Cedrick moved to the golf course. Hailey and Jonah were paired together, while Ewan and Cedrick formed the other team. It was a best-of-three match. Ewan picked up his golf club. As a wealthy heir, he had played golf countless times and was a seasoned player. With a cocky grin, he looked at Hailey. “I won’t let you win, Hailey. Watch closely and I’ll show you how it’s done!” “Save the talk, Ewan. Let’s see who comes out on top!” Hailey retorted. “You’ll see soon enough!” Ewan replied smugly. With that, he lined up his shot and swung the club.
The ball sailed effortlessly through the air and landed directly in the hole. Cedrick clapped with approval. “Mr. Shaw, that was an excellent shot!” Ewan had been playing golf since childhood , so this was just another testament to his natural talent. He flashed Hailey a victorious grin. “Hailey, did you see that? I’m one up. Now, it’s Mr. Pilsner’s turn!” Hailey wasn’t concerned about Ewan’s skill-she knew he ‘was a pro. What she didn’t know was how skilled Jonah was at golf. —- She glanced at him, a hint of concern in her eyes. “Mr.
Pilsner, how good are you at golf?” Jonah’s expression remained calm as he met her gaze. “Are you nervous?” “Of course, Mr. Pilsner,” Hailey responded. “I want you to win!” Jonah casually unbuttoned his black suit jacket, his eyes briefly meeting Hailey’s hopeful gaze. With a smirk, he teased, “But isn’t Ewan your fiancé? Did you two break up?” “Mr. Pilsner, I’ve been separated from him for a long time.” “T see.” His words were brief, but a flicker of amusement danced in his eyes. Hailey’s attention remained fixed on Jonah as he slowly shed his suit.
His fingers worked gracefully over the silver buttons, unfastening them one by one. The black fabric of the suit slid off his body, revealing the white shirt beneath. Hailey hesitated, her gaze locked on Jonah’s fingers. The way he moved was so reminiscent of Declan. “What are you staring at?” Jonah asked suddenly. His deep, rich voice snapped Hailey back to the present. Flustered, she quickly shook her head. “Oh, it’s nothing… Mr. Pilsner, is your button stuck?” —- He nodded.
“Yes, would you mind helping me with it?” Hailey realized that Jonah simply wanted to remove his jacket to feel more comfortable while playing. Grateful for his presence, she wasn’t about to refuse his request. “Alright.” Her delicate fingers gently brushed against the silver button, slowly beginning to unfasten it. As they stood so close, Hailey couldn’t help but feel the intimacy of the moment -helping a man take off his jacket felt surprisingly suggestive. A flush of warmth spread across her cheeks, turning her face a bright red.
Jonah noticed the shift in her expression and gave her a playful smile. “You’re blushing.” Hailey was mortified. “No, I’m not.” “Little liar.” Had he really just called her that? The familiar teasing made her think of Declan, who used to say the same thing. Hailey quickly realized her thoughts had drifted back to Declan. She pushed the memories aside, forcing herself to focus on the task at hand. Inno time, she finished unbuttoning Jonah’s jacket. “All done.” —- “Thanks.” Jonah casually slid off his black suit jacket and tossed it toward Hailey. “Here, hold this.”
