Hailey nodded. "Alright."
After lingering a moment longer, they finally parted ways. Jonah headed off to the office, while Hailey made her way back to her classes.
…
That evening, Jonah and Justin arrived at Union Club. They were ready to meet with Lincoln Hembrow to discuss a significant project.
Inside the luxurious VIP room, the meeting proceeded smoothly, and they even managed to sign the contract on the spot.
With a smile, Lincoln said, "Mr. Pilsner, now that the contract's signed, how about we enjoy some entertainment tonight?"
Jonah chuckled. "And what kind of entertainment are you thinking of, Mr. Hembrow?"
"I've heard this club is full of beautiful women. Why don't we set up a card game and invite a few ladies to join us?" Lincoln suggested.
To these corporate executives, women were nothing more than a form of entertainment.
Jonah smiled faintly. "Mr. Hembrow, I've had a bit of alcohol, and now I'm feeling a bit lightheaded. How about you have Justin join you instead?"
Jonah wasn't one to indulge in such activities. Right now, all he wanted was to go home and be with Hailey and their baby.
Justin eagerly stepped in. "Don't worry, Mr. Hembrow, I'll join you. Whatever you have in mind, I can handle it. Jonah isn't really into this sort of thing, anyway."
"Looks like Mr. Pilsner doesn't get out much, huh?" Lincoln teased.
Jonah raised his hand, letting the light catch his ring. "I'm married, and my wife is pregnant. I'd rather be home with her as soon as I can."
"Mr. Hembrow, Jonah's a devoted husband and soon-to-be father," Justin chimed in. "Looks like I'll be the one keeping you company tonight."
Lincoln gave a thumbs-up. "Mr. Pilsner, you're truly one of a kind. Alright, Justin, let's go have some fun."
As Lincoln stood, Justin turned to Jonah. "Jonah, I'll have some soup brought to you."
Jonah could feel the alcohol's effects creeping in, its scent still clinging to his clothes. "Alright. You go ahead and keep Mr. Hembrow company for now," he said.
