---- Chapter 829 Perhaps everything between Hailey and Jonah had ended three years ago. But by the will of fate,
no matter where she went, she seemed to run into him. She chere for a meal, and Jonah ctoo, stopping
right in front of her. When complimented on how well she and Lester looked together, Hailey responded with a
polite smile, saying nothing more. However, in Jonah's eyes, that smile took ona different meaning. After all,
silence often implied acceptance . Hailey and Lester-both unmarried -meant anything was possible. Lester
smiled. "Please don't teaseand Hailey.
| don't mind, but she's a young woman. She gets shy easily." The other businessmen laughed playfully upon
hearing his response. "Prof. Larden is getting protective, huh?" "Going by first nbasis, eh? Sounds like you
two are quite close." "Alright, that's enough teasing. So, are Prof. Larden and Ms. Hailey here for dinner too?"
Lester nodded. "Yes. Mrs. Lambert and my mother are both here too." ---- He gestured forward with his eyes.
Jonah looked up and saw a group of elegant ladies ahead-Miranda, Lester's mother, and several upper-class

Jonah calmly shifted his gaze. Just then, one of the businessmen suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Pilsner, | noticed
earlier you seemed to be looking at Ms. Hailey. Do you know her?" Jonah turned to Hailey and deflected with a
question of his own. "Ms. Hailey, do we know each other?" He didn't answer directly. Instead, he redirected the
question to Hailey. Hailey's lashes fluttered. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Pilsner. Yes, we've met. You even helped me
once, and I'm very grateful for that." Her reply was poised and graceful-polite, but clearly keeping a measured
distance.
Jonah's already cold gaze turned even more frosty. "Ah, so that's it. What a coincidence. Mr. Pilsner even helped
Ms. Hailey once," the businessman echoed. Jonah spoke up. "Let's go." "Of course. We're here to discuss
business with Mr. Pilsner. What an honor. Let's begin the discussion with a meal first." Those businessmen
followed Jonah as he left. ---- Lester watched Jonah's tall figure disappear . "So that's the new business rising
star-founder of CY Tech, Jonah Pilsner.
He looks very young and is probably around our age." Hailey -also watching Jonah's disappearing figure -nodded
and said, "Yeah, he's our age." "A self-made entrepreneur in this day and age... that's quite rare and impressive
," Lester commented , clearly admiring him. Hailey watched Jonah's silhouette vanish from sight. Three years
ago, he was just a poor young man. Three years later, he had beca powerful rising star. She could only
imagine how hard his journey had been. Just then, Miranda called from ahead, "Hailey, con! It's tto eat."
Hailey smiled at Lester.
