Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 422

Allison chuckled. “Why would I fire you? You don’t even work for me.”

Mindy looked over at Joshua.

Joshua said, “Allie, she tried to stop you at the door. If you want her gone, I’ll make it happen.”

Mindy: “Huh?”

So no matter what, I’m doomed to get fired, huh?

Allison shot Joshua a sidelong glance. “When did I ever say I wanted her fired? I didn’t even make an appointment. She was just doing her job, stopping me. Employees who actually care about their work are rare—don’t just fire people for doing the right thing.”

James, standing nearby, smiled softly. “Understood.”

Mindy finally let out the breath she’d been holding, her heart dropping out of her throat and back into her chest.

Joshua sat next to Allison, constantly searching for something to talk about.

“There’s a new sushi place on the west side. Want to try it with me sometime?”

“I’ll pass. I’ve been super busy lately.”

“You still have to eat, no matter how busy you are.”

“The west side’s too far. I’d just be wasting time going back and forth.”

“Alright.” Joshua paused for a second, then said, “How about the hot spring resort my friend just opened? We could go this weekend, get some fresh air.”

Allison’s face stayed cool. “I have to meet a client in Havenbrook this weekend.”

“Okay.”

...

Twenty minutes ticked by.

John still hadn’t come down.

Allison glanced at her watch. “What’s taking him so long?”

Joshua could only call to hurry him up.

John came down not long after.

He handed Allison the signed, stamped files. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Allison. Royce needed something last minute and I got held up.”
