Rebecca's sharp gaze immediately landed on the caller ID flashing on Hailey's phone—"Mr. Pilsner".
That was Hailey's nickname for Jonah.
It seemed Jonah was calling.
Rebecca's curiosity deepened. She was eager to catch every word he said.
Hailey tapped the answer button. "Hello?"
All of a sudden, Jonah's deep, magnetic voice came through the line. "Hey, Hailey, are you still mad at me?"
Hailey stole a glance at Rebecca, knowing full well she was eavesdropping.
Even so, she concealed her contempt behind a veil of anger. "Why wouldn't I be?" she retorted.
Jonah tried to defend himself. "Hailey, let me explain. Nothing happened between Rebecca and me. Please don't jump to conclusions!"
"If nothing happened, then why were you two alone together?" Hailey shot back.
"She came into my room."
"If you hadn't let her in, how would she have gotten there?"
"I—"
"Enough! I don't want to hear another word. Goodbye."
"Hailey, wait! Come to the restaurant. I'll explain everything face-to-face."
"I'm not going."
"Please, Hailey, do it for the baby," Jonah begged. "Even a person on death row is afforded the right to defend themselves. You can't condemn me without hearing my side."
Hailey caught Rebecca leaning in from the corner of her eye.
"Fine. I'm coming over now," she said before ending the call.
