---- Chapter 922 Hailey lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. Within moments, she drifted off to sleep. When Jonah returned, the first thing he saw was Hailey curled up on his couch, fast asleep. Her small frame was tucked in tightly, completely relaxed. He set his files down, loosened the tie around his neck, and took a seat beside her. He reached over and gently patted her cheek. "Sleepyhead , wake up." Hailey rolled over, her slender body inching closer to him. She nuzzled against him like a kitten and responded, "Stop bothering me. Iwant to sleep." Jonah looked at her.

Sleep had brought a quiet warmth to her face, and a soft flush spread across her cheeks. She looked calm, completely at ease. He shifted and pulled her into his arms. Upon feeling his warmth, she instinctively shifted closer, settling into the curve of his body without waking. Jonah pulled a blanket over her. With one arm wrapped around her, he picked up the file with his free hand and began reviewing it. ---- Just then, Jeremy stepped into the room. "Mr. Pilsner-"" Jonah shot him a warning look. "Quiet. Lower your voice." Only then did Jeremy notice Hailey.

He immediately softened his tone as he said, "My bad, Mr. Pilsner." "What's the matter?" "Mr. Pilsner, Ms. Lilton and Justin are here," Justin said. Jonah's expression remained the same. He said indifferently, " Now's not a good time. Ask them to leave." "Yes, sir." With that, Jeremy left. Outside the office, Joanne and Justin were waiting. Joanne said, "Jeremy, Jonah's in there, isn't he? I would like to see him." Then, she walked toward the door. However, Jeremy blocked her way. Pilsner isn't available to take visitors right now." 'm sorry, Ms. Lilton. Mr. Justin was puzzled. "Why not?

His meeting just ended, didn't ite" Joanne said, "We're not strangers. With the kind of relationship we have with Jonah, there's no way he'd refuse to see us." ---- She tried to move past him again, but Jeremy stopped her again. "I'm really sorry, Ms. Lilton. Ms. Pilsner said he's not available right now. Maybe you can come back another time. Ifit's something urgent, you can tell me, and I'll pass it along. Sweat had already started gathering at Jeremy's forehead. He knew Joanne and Justin weren't outsiders, but Hailey was here today.

Whenever Hailey showed up, everybody else was a nobody in Jonah's eyes. Joanne narrowed her eyes as she looked at Jeremy. "There's someone in the office, isn't there?" Justin looked at Jeremy suspiciously . "Who is it? Who would Jonah refuse to see us for?" Jeremy hesitated. "I-I'm really sorry... Please don't press... I won't say it." Joanne's expression changed as she asked, "It's Ms. Hailey, isn't it?" Jeremy stammered, "W-Well..." Joanne let out a cold laugh. "Don't bother denying it. Ms. Hailey must be here!

That's why Jonah's refusing to see us." Justin asked, "Why is Hailey here at Jonah's company?" Joanne shoved past Jeremy. "Get out of my way! We're going ---- in right now!" Justin said, "Yeah, let's see what this Ms. Hailey is up to!" Jeremy couldn't stop them. Joanne pushed the office door open, and the two of them stepped inside. Joanne raised her voice, clearly agitated. "Jonah, you-" Before she could finish, Jonah glanced up at her. His sharp gaze cut straight through her, cold and commanding. Joanne froze in place.

The words caught in her throat, tangled up in the tension that suddenly filled the room. Then, she saw Hailey. Hailey was fast asleep in Jonah's arms, resting quietly against him as he held her without a word.
