She sighed and relaxed into his touch. “And what if my company finds out? I’ll lose my job. They’ll never believe that I can be impartial. I have a vested interest in the successful business dealings of my baby’s father.”
Her mention of the audit was enough to remind Jonah of why he started romancing his auditor to begin with. Yes, he’d been drawn to her, but he’d stuck it out to cover Noah’s ass and keep from botching the Game Town deal. He hadn’t heard from his accountant in days, and that wasn’t good. Sooner or later, she was going to find the discrepancy. If he couldn’t keep it from her, there was a part of him that hoped maybe she wouldn’t mention it in her report as a favor to him. That he could explain it away somehow.
“Can you be impartial, Emma?” he asked.
Her green eyes met his with a hard glint shining in them. Her spine straightened and her pointed chin thrust forward in the defiant response he seemed to coax out of her so easily. “Yes. Despite what Tim thinks, I’m first and foremost a professional and I will do my job.”
Jonah didn’t doubt that at all. That’s exactly what he was afraid of. But for now, he needed to salvage tonight and worry about Noah’s mess tomorrow. “Then there’s nothing your boss could say or do to prove otherwise. Now come back inside and eat that amazing-looking dinner with me.”
Emma sighed and nodded. She slipped the strap of her jumpsuit back over her shoulder, hiding away the tattoo and removing the temptation of her bare skin.
They went back inside, crisis averted, and yet Jonah couldn’t help but feel a new sense of worry. The audit for Game Town was at risk and it had nothing to do with Emma and everything to do with Jonah.
