At that moment, Jonah stepped up behind her. "Ms. Hailey, please don't scream like that. The soundproofing here isn't great. If someone hears us, they might get the wrong idea."
Hailey's face flushed bright red. She had assumed he was fully dressed, but though he had finished his shower, his clothes were still incomplete.
To be precise, he had put on black trousers, but his upper body was bare.
When she'd caught a glimpse of him earlier, her eyes took in his sun-kissed skin, chiseled chest, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and defined abs.
His torso seamlessly tapered into his trousers, and the image was enough to send her thoughts into overdrive.
The visual impact hit her hard. After three years of being single, Hailey felt her mind buzz.
Jonah stood behind her, his deep, captivating voice slicing through the silence. Hailey felt as though her ears were being consumed by its magnetic allure.
"I-I won't scream anymore," she stammered.
"Is there something you need?" he asked.
Hailey slowly turned to face him, her gaze avoiding his. "Mr. Pilsner, here's your phone."
Jonah took the phone from her, pressing the button to answer. "Hello..."
"Mr. Pilsner, there's an urgent document at the company that requires your signature..."
Hailey overheard the voice on the other end—it sounded like his secretary, reporting on work matters.
Jonah switched the phone from his left hand to his right. "Got it. Send the document to my phone, and I'll take care of it shortly."
Hailey's attention momentarily faltered as she watched him switch hands. Declan used to do the same thing when answering calls—shifting the phone from left to right. It was one of his unconscious habits.
Why did Jonah's actions seem so eerily familiar?
A person's appearance could change, but their habits ran deep and were almost impossible to erase.
Hailey was momentarily speechless. "I... "
"Curiosity killed the cat. Some things are better left unsaid. I'll be stepping out now."
With that, Jonah turned and began to walk away.
But all of a sudden, Hailey reached out and grabbed his arm.
Jonah stopped and turned to face her, noticing the determined look in her eyes. "Mr. Pilsner, you really remind me of someone I know."
"Who is this person? You've said that before, but when I asked who they are to you, you wouldn't answer."
"Mr. Pilsner, I need to know if you're him!"
"And how exactly do you plan to find that out?" he posed.
