As Hailey stood outside the office door, she gave a gentle knock. The door was slightly ajar, giving her a glimpse inside.
Jonah was settled in his chair, and the black suit jacket was slung over the back. He wore a crisp white shirt paired with black trousers.
His striking eyes remained focused on the book he held. Hailey couldn't help but be captivated by his calm and graceful presence.
At the sound of the knock, Jonah looked up. "Come in."
Hailey stepped inside. "Mr. Pilsner, I'm here."
"Close the door," he said.
Hailey complied and shut the door behind her. As she moved closer, she asked, "Mr. Pilsner, what's the reason you called me here?"
"Hailey, are you free tonight?" Jonah asked.
A faint smile appeared on Hailey's lips. "What do you have in mind, Mr. Pilsner?"
"I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight," Jonah offered.
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Hailey asked.
Jonah raised an eyebrow. "And what's so inappropriate about it?"
"You're my teacher. If anyone saw us having dinner together, the whole university would be gossiping!"
Without warning, Jonah grabbed Hailey's wrist and pulled her onto his lap. "Let them talk. In fact, I'd be proud if they knew you were my girlfriend."
Despite the warmth blossoming in Hailey's chest, she squirmed instinctively. "Mr. Pilsner, please let me go. I'm worried someone might see us!"
"This office was personally assigned to me by Mr. Mendler. You don't have to worry. No one will come in."
It was clear he shared a close relationship with the chancellor of Aspenfield University.
"Why did you come to campus to give a lecture today?" Hailey asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.
Jonah didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he replied, "What's the problem? If you can come here to study, then why can't I come here to teach?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
