Healing the Divide

Chapter 819

---- Chapter 819 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-l won't scream anymore," she stammered. "Ts 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 sthing 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? Aperson's appearance

could change, but their habits ran deep and were almost impossible to erase. Hailey stood still, her mind

spinning. She had always seen traces of Declan in Jonah. Could it be... Suddenly, a bold thought struck her. Jonah

hung up the phone, only to find Hailey staring at him. A smirk curled on his lips. "What are you looking at?" "Mr.

Pilsner, what happened to your face?" Hailey blurted out. Jonah was caught off guard. "Why do you ask that all of

a sudden?" ---- "Did you get hurt?

What did you look like before?" Jonah paused for a moment before replying, "Ms. Hailey, that's a personal matter.

I'm not obligated to answer you. Your question is a bit too forward." Hailey knew she was being intrusive. After

all, Jonah's injuries had been severe, and no one wanted to bring up painful memories. But she couldn't hold

back. "Mr. Pilsner , why won't you answer me? What did you look like before?" she asked, her tone becoming

more insistent. Jonah let out a chuckle. "Ms. Hailey, why are you so concerned about my personal life?

You don't actually see yourself as my girlfriend, do you? Or are you hoping to be?" Hailey was momentarily

speechless. "I... " "Curiosity killed the cat. Sthings 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 remindof

wouldn't answer." "Mr.
