Naomi nodded. "Fantastic."

I let out a sigh of relief, nearly slumping over. "Really?"

She gave me a small smile. "This is some great work, Jennifer. Exactly what I was hoping for. You worked wonders."

"It had its challenges," I admitted.

"Noah ran off all the others so easily." Naomi gave him an exasperated look. He stared back, unrepentant. "I'm glad you managed to hold your own against him."

"He's not that bad, underneath all that grumpiness and snark."

"Can you not talk about me as if I'm not sitting right here?"

Naomi patted Noah on the shoulder. "Your fans are going to love the song. Good job, you two." She turned to me. "Jennifer, when you've got a spare minute, I'd like to speak about some further work we may have for you."

A jolt of surprise went through me. "You want to hire me again?"

"What you've shown me so far is impressive. I believe we may have more work for you in the future. And of course I'd be more than happy to act as a reference for you."

I had to suppress a squeal of glee. When Naomi left, I threw my arms around Noah's neck. "Did you hear that?"

"Told you," he said with a smug grin. "I knew from the first moment we started working together in this room that you were talented."

"Even when you were snarling and snapping at me?"

"I didn't snap at you."

"Are you even paying attention?" I said in a gruff voice, imitating Noah. "Or are you too busy having sex daydreams about me?"

"Well?" he raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you?"

I flushed. "Not the point."

Noah pulled me onto his lap, making me straddle the piano bench. "Don't you remember all the sexual tension we had in this room? You should be glad I didn't pull up your skirt and fuck you over the piano on day one."

My heartbeat sped up. "If you want to fuck me over the piano so bad, why don't you go ahead and do it then?"

"Noah?"

Noah and I bolted away from each other as Naomi's voice sounded from the hallway. We were barely presentable when she walked back in, her cell phone in hand.

"I thought Lily was trying to keep a low profile?" she asked.

Noah froze. "Why?"

She gave him a concerned look. "You may want to warn her."

"About what?"

"She's all over the fan sites and social media. Check your phone. I sent you an email with all the links." Naomi walked out, a frown on her face.

Noah pulled out his phone, his brows furrowed in confusion. As he scrolled and tapped, the confusion morphed into disbelief, and then anger.

"What is it?" I leaned over and peeked at Noah's phone. He was looking at a news websites. There was a big headline on the article.

Noah F*cking Hart's hot baby sister makes a reappearance - and this time she's legal!

Dread filled my chest. Someone had found out about Lily. They'd found out about her coming home. How?
