"No. I made a reservation at a restaurant," Jonah said in a low voice.

Before Tara could respond, he added, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Come eat with me."

Tara instantly regretted opening her mouth earlier. She had asked something she shouldn't have.

She politely declined. "Thank you, Mr. Pearson. But that's really not necessary."

That made her feel even more self-conscious. She quickly said, "Then I'll take you up on that, Mr. Pearson."

The deep, smooth sound of his voice helped her relax a little.

He pressed the elevator button and said evenly, "Who hasn't made mistakes?"
