Chapter 865

Jonah couldn’t tear his gaze away from Hailey’s sweet smile and those bright, sparkling eyes. Even if she was lying to him, he knew that he’d still believe her.

Without a word, he kissed her again.

Hailey wrapped her arms around his neck, matching his intensity with her own.

When they finally pulled apart, her cheeks were flushed. She looked up at him and murmured, “I should get back to the studio. I’ve got a whole batch of designs to finish today.”

Jonah knew Hailey had risen to fame as a well-known fashion designer.

He gently traced his fingers across her cheek. “I don’t want to send you back. Just stay here and work in my office.”

He simply wanted her close.

The way he clung to her made Hailey feel like they were back in the blissful honeymoon phase of their relationship.

“But…”

Before she could say more, Jonah was already out of the car, walking around to the passenger side.

After opening the door, he leaned down and swept her into his arms.

While cradling her close, he strode into the building.

Hailey’s long lashes fluttered as she wiggled in his embrace. “Jonah, what are you doing? This is your company-people will see us! Put me down, now!”

“Not a chance,” he replied.

The moment they crossed the threshold, every employee in the office turned to face them, rising in unison. “Good morning, Mr. Pilsner!”

Curiosity and excitement lit up their faces. What was going on? Were they really seeing Jonah carry a woman into the office?

“Oh my God, who is she? I can’t believe Mr. Pilsner actually brought her in like this! Argh!”

“Mr. Pilsner isn’t even trying to hide it! He’s practically shouting his relationship from the rooftops!”

“I’m totally shipping them! This is the love story I didn’t know I needed!”

Hailey felt the weight of every gaze on her. Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around Jonah’s neck, burying her face in his chest.

She wasn’t ready to face everyone just yet.

“Mr. Pilsner!”

One by one, more employees turned their attention toward them. “Hello, Mrs. Pilsner!”

The title spread like wildfire, and soon, everyone was calling her “Mrs. Pilsner”.

A smile tugged at Hailey’s lips. There was something incredibly irresistible about being adored like this. It felt like savoring the sweetest piece candy s

Jonah carried Hailey into his office where Jeremy had already laid out a feast. He gently seated her in a chair and placed the cutlery inher hands. s

“Let’s eat,” he said.

“Did you have someone prepare all of this?”

Jonah nodded casually. “Yes. Ms. Hailey, you’re probably not hungry After all you just had a meal with MicEwan. s

“What a petty man!” Hailey thought to herself.

Breaking the silence, she quickly retorted, “I swear, I didn’t eat a single bite when I was with him!”

Jonah’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “Alright then, I believe you.”

Without missing a beat, he picked up a piece of shrimp and held it out to her. “Ah, open wide!”

Hailey blinked, momentarily thrown off. “Why are you feeding me? I can eat on my own.”

“What’s wrong? I just want to feed you. Didn’t Ewan do the same at the restaurant?”

“Damn it, this man just won’t give up,” Hailey muttered inwardly.

Despite her frustration, she finally relented, taking the shrimp. “It’s delicious.”

Jonah smiled.

Without missing a beat, Hailey picked up another piece of shrimp and held it out to him. “Ah, open wide!”

Jonah locked eyes with her.
