Make you fall for me

Chapter Two

Make You Fall For me

When Hailey thought of Boris Stern, Hailey frowned. The both of them will never meet again.... right? She knew that she didn't want to see that person again.

Lena saw the look in Hailey's eyes and she was suddenly curious.

"Miss Hailey, you don't really know Boris Stern right?!" Lena asked in shock. How is it that her boss knows the singer that she adores?

Hailey smiled sheepishly.

"He's my high school classmate" more like high school bully.

...........

8:30pm. Even though Lena told Hailey not to work all through the night she did nor listen and still did some over time work. She was only leaving the office now.

Hailey ran into her colleague Jonas Clark at the company's underground parking lot when she was about to leave.

"Miss Johnson, are you only getting off work now?" Jonas asked. He didn't try to hide the fact that he is in love with Hailey at all. He always paid extra attention to her.

Hailey knew that Jonas likes her and she didn't want to talk to him but she had to be polite

"That's right Mr. Clark, I had some loose ends to tie up. I won't keep you Mr. Clark". Hailey said. She was starting to get uncomfortable and she just wanted to leave.

As Hailey said this, she opened her car's door. this was a clear indication that she didn't want to talk to Mr. Clark.

Jonas did not want to let Hailey leave just like that. He was happy that he finally found a chance to talk to her.

"Miss Johnson, you seriously need to take it easy. I heard that you are finally taking a break as from tommorow. You definitely didn't need to work overtime." Jonas said. He didn't plan to give up on Hailey so easily.

Everyone in the company knows that Hailey Johnson is a workaholic.

"It's especially because I'm taking a break tommorow Mr. Clark. That's why I need t tie up loose ends. Otherwise, they are all just going to mess things up if I don't leave clear instructions for them. When that happens, I'll have to work even harder than before. I definitely don't want to do that, Mr. Clark." Hailey said with a polite and yet distant smile on her face.

Jonas laughed when he heard this.

"I totally understand you. Our subordinates won't work well without clear instructions. They think it's all good being the leader but they don't know how many hours of extra work we need to put in" Jonas said. He was desperately looking for topics to chat with Hailey.

Hailey only smiled politely because she really didn't want to continue the conversation.

"It's already late Mr. Clark. I think that I should get going now"

"Actually, it's not that late Hailey. I think that the both of us still have time to have dinner together what do you think?" Jonas finally made his move.

Hailey noticed that he no longer called her Miss Johnson. He wasn't trying to be polite anymore. She felt her heart skip a beat. Hailey didn't want to deal with office romance at all.

"I don't think so Mr. Clark. I'm going to leave now. I'm going back home tommorow so I have to get a lot of things prepared. I'm already tired from work as it is, then I still have to put things in order when I get home. I'm afraid I really don't have time to have dinner with you" Hailey said. She was still trying to put the distance between them.

It was an excuse that Jonas could not find anything wrong with. But he didn't want to give up easily.

"Oh sorry. Well, since we can't have dinner today, I think that maybe I should buy you dinner some other time. How does Christmas night sound? And we've known each other for so long. Stop calling me Mr. Clark, it really makes us sound very distant." Jonas said. He was a persistent one.

"Hailey frowned because she could tell where the discussion was going

"I'm sorry Mr. Clark I...."

"Oh right you said that you'll be going back home. You can tell me where your family home is. I'll definitely come there for our dinner." Jonas said. He thought that if he got closer to her family, he will have better chances with her.

Hailey was unhappy because Jonas made it seem as if she already agreed to have dinner with him

"Mr. Clark, I never agreed to have dinner with you" Hailey reminded him.

"Hailey, there's no reason for you to draw the line so quickly with me right? Besides, I said that you can just call me Jonas" Jonas said. He really felt down

"I really don't think so. I..."

"Hailey, I really think that you should stop playing dumb with me. I think that you know why I'm being this way with you. It's because I like you. Don't you get it?" Jonas Finally decided to come clean.

Hailey was stunned by the impromptu confession. But she was also relieved because it meant that she had a reason to reject him now

"That....I'm really sorry Mr. Clark. I can't accept or reciprocate your feelings. I really don't like you" Hailey said. Better to put an end to it now.

Jonas had a calm smile on his face. He didn't look like someone who has just been rejected

"Are you currently dating Hailey or do you have someone that you like?" Jonas asked.

"No...I don't. I'm not dating nor do I have someone that I like but. ...." Hailey did not understand why he suddenly asked that.

"Then it's alright. As long as I'm not interfering in your relationship or stopping you from pursing your love, then it's okay with me.. I'll pursue you until you accept me." Jonas said

"I really don't want to waste your time. I don't... I don't have any feelings for you. You should move on. You are such an amazing person Jonas, I'm sure that you will find someone who really likes you soon" Hailey said.

" It's my business to pursue you and it's your business to reject me. Don't worry. I definitely won't worse you. I'm not that much of a bastãrd. Besides, you never know what will happen in the future. How can you be so sure that you won't like me?"

"Hailey, I'll definitely make you fall for me!"
