Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 432

Brooklyn stood off to the side, her expression impossible to read.

Carolyn’s eyes landed on her, wide with awe and disbelief. “Whoa! Brooklyn is amazing! Where on earth did you find such a badass female bodyguard? I want one, too.”

Allison laughed. “My dad recruited her from overseas.”

Carolyn sighed. “My family only ever hires male bodyguards. It’s honestly not always convenient.”

That made Allison pause, her smile fading. “By the way, why did you go to that bar alone last night? Where was your bodyguard?”

Carolyn suddenly looked awkward, fidgeting with her fingers. “If I tell you, you won’t get mad at me, right?”

Allison raised an eyebrow, amused. “Why would I be mad?”

“It’s just…” Carolyn looked down, a little embarrassed. “A friend called me yesterday and said she saw Joshua at that bar. I’ve been wanting to see him for so long. And honestly, I almost never bring a bodyguard when I go out.”

She glanced up to see Allison’s reaction.

“And… I really appreciate you saving me, but I need you to know I’m serious about Joshua. He’s the only guy I’ve ever loved, all these years. I’m not giving up on him.”

Allison couldn’t help but chuckle. “You don’t need to explain your love life to me.”

Carolyn pressed her lips together, her voice turning soft. “I don’t know, it just feels weird… Like, after you rescued me, liking Joshua feels kind of unfair to you.”

Allison’s voice was calm, almost flat. “You don’t owe me anything.”
