A friend called out, "Hailey, let's go. Time for class."
Hailey stood up, saying, "Alright."
The lecture hall was jam-packed that afternoon, and every seat was filled with students eager to catch a glimpse of the rising star in the business world.
Hailey couldn't help but be struck by how much buzz surrounded this so-called rising star.
As the lecture was about to begin, she pulled out her phone and sent Jonah another message on WhatsApp.
"Mr. Pilsner, what are you up to right now?"
But there was no response from him. Why wasn't he answering?
Hailey figured he was probably busy.
Just then, one of Hailey's classmates nudged her, practically bouncing in her seat. "Hailey, put your phone away and look! The rising star is here!
The rising star was here already?
The lecture hall buzzed with excitement.
"He's here! Look, over there!"
"Is he hot?"
"Where is he? I can't see him!"
A tall, broad-shouldered figure strode into the room, and the entire lecture hall
erupted with a collective gasp.
"Oh my God! He's gorgeous!"
"Why is he so handsome?"
Hailey widened her eyes as she looked toward the podium in disbelief. Shock washed over her as she recognized the man standing there.
It was Jonah!
She could hardly believe what she was seeing. Why was he here?
So, the rising star everyone had been dying to meet was Jonah!
She should have guessed sooner. In today's business world, who else could carry that title but him?
Jonah walked up to the podium, lifted the microphone, and said, "Good afternoon, everyone My name is Jonah Pilsner, and 1 be your lecturer today."
The hall rang with thunderous applause. The excitement in the lecture hall made it
clear just now how thrilled everyone was about Jonah's arrival.
The girl beside Hailey stomped her feet in giddy excitement.
"Oh my gosh, he's so handsome!"
"He's young, good-looking, and rich! Seriously, how is he this perfect?"
"Do you think he has a girlfriend?"
"What are you even thinking? Mr. Pilsner is here to give a lecture, not to be your boyfriend! If he is going to be anyone's boyfriend, it's mine!"
Hailey could already sense the lovestruck excitement bubbling, among the girls around her. White
staring at Jonah, she thoughtto
herself that he had always been this
way.

Several bold students shouted with excitement, "Mr. Pilsner, welcome!"
Jonah wore a sharp black tailored suit, its creases emphasizing his commanding presence. Even when he just stood at the podium, his every move radiated an untouchable auta, drawing everyone's attention.
Jonah smiled as he said, "Alright, then. Let's take attendance and see who's missing."

"Maribel Hartwell!"
Maribel jumped up, waving eagerly. "Here!"
"Darius Flint!"
"Here!"
"Gideon Crossley!"
"Here!"
Hailey, sitting in the third row, soon heard her name.
