Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 414

While they ate dinner inside, Brooklyn waited in the car, completely in the dark about what was going on.

She was curious, sure, but she kept it to herself. After all, it was her boss’s personal business—definitely not her place to ask questions.

In the elevator, Allison leaned in close to her little sister. “Lizzy, don’t tell Mom or Dad about dinner with Joshua tonight, okay?”

Lizzy nodded. “Okay, sis.”

“Good girl.”

Back in her room, Allison checked her phone for messages.

Watson: [Home yet?]

Allison: [Just got back.]

Watson: [Get some rest. Good night.]

Allison: [Night.]

The next day, Allison’s law firm got a surprise visitor.

Carolyn walked in wearing a light tan suit, an Hermès bag dangling from her arm, moving with so much confidence that the whole office couldn’t help but stare.

“Whoa, who is that? She’s gorgeous.”

“Is she a client, or maybe a new lawyer?”

“No way, she’s gotta be a client. She’s got that CEO aura.”

“Totally, she looks like she owns the place. Definitely not just an employee.”

“That body, that face—she’s amazing.”

Carolyn overheard the whispers and let a small smile play at her lips.

She stopped at a young woman’s desk and smiled warmly. “Hi, I didn’t see anyone at reception, so I just came in. Could you tell me where Allison’s office is?”

Joy felt a little flustered. A woman this stunning was talking to her?

“So, what brings you here, Ms. Witt?” Allison asked.

“Thank you,” Carolyn said, accepting the cup. “I heard you opened your own firm and wanted to check it out. Plus, I have a case I’d like you to handle.”

“Oh?” Allison raised an eyebrow. “What kind of case?”

Olivia had already sent over Carolyn’s background, so Allison knew Carolyn was now the CEO of a public company. With her own legal team, what kind of case needed outside help?

Carolyn pulled out her phone. “Let’s exchange contacts. I’ll forward you the case files my assistant just sent me.”

“Sure.” Allison scanned her code, and they added each other.

Carolyn sent over the documents.

“I’ll leave this in your hands, Allison,” she said with a small smile.

Allison took a sip of tea. “Let’s talk through the basics first, Ms. Witt.”

“Of course.” Carolyn tried the tea and smiled. “This is really good, by the way.”
