When Love Turns Dangerous novel Chapter 150

Tara didn't realize it until she was already inside the car. She had gotten into Jonah's car, and he was sitting right next to her.

There was no divider between the front and back seats. The air was filled with the subtle scent that lingered on Jonah.

Back when she worked at the villa, she could smell it as soon as she stepped into his room. It was light and pleasant.

Tara sat stiffly with her hands in her lap. Other than the low hum of traffic outside, the car was completely silent.

"Skipped out on karaoke?"

Jonah's deep voice reached her ears. It was low and smooth with a hint of seduction. It was the kind of voice that could easily charm anyone with a weakness for sound.

Tara hadn't expected him to actually speak to her.

"I wasn't really in the mood, so I didn't go," she answered softly.

"Getting used to things at the company?" he asked.

Tara nodded. "The managers and coworkers were all very kind. I've adjusted to the work pretty quickly."

Jonah gave a quiet hum in response, and the car fell silent again.

Streetlights outside the window slid past, casting flickering shadows over his sharp profile. The shifting lights and shadows only added to the sense of mystery that seemed to surround him.

His overwhelming presence and potent masculinity were so intense that even just sitting beside him made Tara unconsciously tense up.

When the car pulled up to the hotel entrance, she thanked him before quickly stepping out of the car.

She waved a polite goodbye, then turned and headed for the hotel's front doors.

A somewhat familiar figure walked toward her from the opposite direction.

Tara recognized him. He was the man who had approached her after she first transmigrated. He had asked for her number. His name was Jasper something, though she couldn't quite remember.

Jasper was talking something over with his secretary, Travis Blair, when he noticed Tara coming straight toward him. He slowed his pace, and his eyes were fixed on her.

Tara glanced at him once but didn't pay any further attention. She continued toward the hotel entrance.

Jasper stopped in his tracks, watching Tara's figure retreat into the distance.

He told Travis, "Have her background check on my desk by tomorrow afternoon."

"Understood, Mr. Walker," Travis replied.

Meanwhile, in a luxury car parked at the curb, Jonah remained hidden in the shadows. He slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke in a low voice. "Noah."

Noah adjusted his glasses. "Yes, Mr. Pearson," he replied.

Back in her hotel room, Tara took a hot shower and opened the two envelopes. Each one held a thick stack of crisp bills. She hadn't expected the annual gala to be this rewarding.

It was a good thing that she came. Otherwise, she would've missed out big time. She grinned as she tucked the money into her bag, planning to deposit it as soon as she got back to Naoundbury tomorrow.

The next day, inside the CEO's office at Walker Group headquarters, Travis informed Jasper, "Mr. Walker, we weren't able to get any information on that woman. Someone's interfering behind the scenes."

Jasper's brows lifted slightly. "Did you find out who?"

"It's coming from Pearson Group," Travis replied.

A flicker of surprise crossed Jasper's face before his expression turned cold. He realized she was involved with Jonah. The image of Tara's face returned to him—breathtaking and unforgettable. He had no intention of letting this go.
