Chapter 956 Jonah stopped Hailey from slapping Kaia. Hailey turned to look at Jonah. He looked back at her and spoke after a long pause. "Stop hitting her!" He had actually told her to stop hitting Kaia-he was protecting Kaia. Hailey yanked her hand sharply out of Jonah's grip. She wore a cold smile as she responded, "Got it. I'll listen to you, Mr. Pilsner!" With that, she turned and walked away. The happiest person in the hallway was Kaia. She had deliberately put on a show in front of Jonah, and to her surprise, he actually stepped up to protect her.
Who could say no to a young, sweet girl like her? Kaia even felt a little grateful to Hailey. Without her outburst, she never would have gotten this chance to get closer to Jonah. In reality, Kaia had only been working as Jonah's assistant for a few days, and that was all she was. He remained entirely professional, giving instructions when needed without the slightest trace of personal interest. To make things worse, his longtime aide, Jeremy, was constantly by his side. It was difficult even to catch a glimpse of Jonah at work, let alone find a chance to speak with him privately.
