As soon as Hailey and Dolores arrived, they ran into Jeremy.
Jeremy froze. "Mrs. Pilsner? What are you doing here?"
"The receptionist downstairs asked me the same thing," Hailey said. "Is it really that surprising for me to stop by? I just want to see Mr. Pilsner."
Cold sweat beaded on Jeremy's forehead. "Let me go ahead and inform him you're here."
Hailey stepped forward quickly. "That won't be necessary!"
Without waiting for a response, she pushed open the office door.
Jonah and Justin were inside. As Jonah looked up, he caught sight of Hailey entering the room.
Justin was taken aback. "Ms. Hailey? What brings you here? Jeremy, how do you manage things around here? You're supposed to notify us before anyone arrives."
Jonah immediately stood and stepped toward Hailey. "Hailey, what are you doing here?"
Jeremy pouted. "I—"
"Don't blame Jeremy," Hailey interrupted. "He tried to stop me, but I came in on my own."
"Hailey, why did you show up all of a sudden? Weren't you supposed to be on campus?" Jonah asked.
"I didn't feel like going today. I wanted to see you," she said.
Her gaze shifted from Jonah to Justin and Jeremy. "What's going on? Judging by your expressions, it seems like I'm not exactly welcome. Am I interrupting something?"
"Of course not," Justin quickly replied. "It's just a surprise, that's all."

"Hailey, you should've called me before coming," Jonah said.
Hailey settled onto the couch. "If I'd called first, do you really think you would've told me about today's news?"
Jonah froze. "You know about it?"
Justin and Jeremy exchanged uneasy looks. There was no hiding it anymore.
"I know everything," Hailey said. "Mr. Pilsner, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"
Justin immediately stepped forward
to explain. "Ms. Hailey, I was at Union Club last night too Please
don't all for what those repor are saying. I can guarantee Jonah didn't harass anyone."
"Are you sure?" Hailey asked.
"Absolutely," Justin replied firmly. "At that time, Jonah was drunk and trying to rest. Rebecca entered with a bowl of soup, hoping to seduce him. When he didn't fall for it, she falsely accused him of trying to assault her. That's the truth. I'm not making this up!"
Hailey turned to Jonah. "Mr. Pilsner, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Jonah sat down beside her. "Hailey, nothing happened between Rebecca and me. She set me up to make me look guilty."
"So you're saying you did nothing wrong?" Hailey shot back.
Jonah blinked in surprise. "What could I have done?"
A faint smile played on Hailey's lips. "Your mistake was hiding this from me. Did you really think I wouldn't believe you?"
At that, the tension in the room finally eased, and everyone let out a relieved sigh.
Justin grinned. "Ms. Hailey, I always knew you were smart and level-headed. There's no way you'd fall for the lies of those petty people."
Jonah clasped Hailey's hand. "Thank you for trusting me, Hailey."
She squeezed his hand in return. "Jonah, we're getting married soon, and you're the father of my child. We're a family now. No matter what happens, Ilf believe you and stand by your side. But you shouldn't have
kept this from me. I was really worried when I found out?"
Pulling her close, Jonah whispered, "I just didn't want you to stress over it. With your pregnancy, I knew you had enough on your plate."
At that moment, Justin cleared his throat. "Hey, Jonah, isn't this the part where we're supposed to step outside?"
Hailey chuckled and gently nudged Jonah. "There's no need for anyone to step out. So, what's the plan now?"
