Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 423

Over the weekend, Allison brought Brooklyn along for a client meeting in Havenbrook.

While they were there, Allison bumped into Pearl—an old face from Shawn’s crowd. Pearl tried to be friendly, even invited Allison out for dinner, but Allison wasn’t having it. She remembered too well how she used to think of Pearl as a friend, even splurged on an expensive bracelet for Pearl’s birthday. When people started making snide comments, saying the bracelet was fake, Pearl didn’t say a word to defend Allison. She just sat there, saying nothing, letting everyone laugh.

That was the day Allison saw Pearl for who she really was.

Pearl, just like the rest of Shawn’s friends, thought Allison wasn’t good enough for their little circle. And Allison had no interest in pretending otherwise.

After three days in Havenbrook, Allison and Brooklyn headed back to Oak Lake. By the time they landed, it was already Wednesday, May 20th.

As Allison stepped out of the business class lounge, she immediately spotted Joshua waiting outside. She automatically slowed down. What was he doing here?

Joshua looked sharp in a deep gray suit, the cut perfectly framing his broad shoulders. Even standing casually, he exuded this effortless kind of confidence and class.

Allison walked over, her voice cool and even. “How did you know I was coming back today?”

Joshua met her gaze. “I checked your flight info.”

She kept her tone icy. “My driver could’ve picked me up. You didn’t have to come out of your way, Mr. Fisher.”

Without waiting for a response, Allison turned and walked toward the parking lot.

Brooklyn trailed after her, suitcase in tow.

Joshua caught up and took Brooklyn’s suitcase without asking. “Allie, ride with me. I’ve got two new cases and I want you to handle them.”

Allison stopped and looked back at him.

Joshua’s expression was serious. “I brought all the evidence files—they’re in the car. Come take a look.”

“All right,” she said. If it was work, she couldn’t really say no.
