Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 411

Watson picked a restaurant with the perfect vibe—warm colors, soft golden lights spilling from elegant chandeliers, and a dreamy, comforting glow that made everything feel a little magical. Vintage oil paintings with bold colors brightened the quiet space, giving it an artsy, inviting touch.

Watson held Julia’s hand, Allison held Lizzy’s. The waiter led them to a window seat with a gorgeous view, city lights twinkling beyond the glass. In the center of their round table, a dainty bouquet gave off a light, calming fragrance.

The two girls slid in next to each other, already whispering and giggling. Watson and Allison took their seats; the table was just small enough that they ended up shoulder to shoulder. Gentle classical piano music floated through the air, wrapping them in a soft cocoon.

Watson ordered for the kids, then handed the menu over to Allison. As she looked up, her eyes suddenly locked with a pair of deep, unreadable ones across the room.

She froze, her smile fading.

Joshua stood nearby, his gaze dark and intense. Next to him was a stunning woman—long wavy hair, curves in all the right places, impossible to miss. Even after all these years, Allison recognized her right away: Carolyn.

Allison remembered what Olivia had said—Carolyn was back in town, and this time, she was here for Joshua. Something twisted in Allison’s chest, but she carefully looked away, keeping her face calm.

Watson noticed them, too. He shot Joshua a look, a teasing smile on his lips. “What a coincidence, Mr. Fisher. Is this your girlfriend?”

Joshua’s expression hardened, his voice colder than ice. “No.”

Carolyn stepped forward with a bright, practiced smile. “Hi, I’m Carolyn. Joshua’s…” Her eyes lingered on Allison for a second before she finished, “friend.”

Allison’s face stayed calm, but inside, her heart skipped a beat.

She called him “Joshua.”
