Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 31

Joshua could sense that Allison felt a bit out of place in the room, so he casually said, "Take a look around and let me know if there's anything you need. I'm gonna head upstairs for a quick shower."

"Hold on a sec."

Joshua stopped and turned back, curious. "What’s up?"

Allison rummaged through her backpack and handed him a bottle of milk. "Joshua, could you help me get in touch with a testing agency? I've got a feeling there might be something off with this milk."

Joshua's eyes narrowed with concern. "Is someone trying to mess with you?"

Allison nodded seriously. "Seems like it, but I’m not exactly sure. Better to play it safe."

"Got it, leave it to me."

Joshua pulled out his phone to make a call. "Hey, can you swing by? I need you to handle something important." He walked off, disappearing around the corner.

Allison let out a deep breath, feeling her tension ease up a bit.

When she'd handed the milk to Joshua, she’d unexpectedly caught his dark eyes. For a moment, it felt like her heart skipped a beat.

His eyes were something else.

Actually, it wasn’t just his eyes. His whole face was like a work of art, enough to make anyone's heart race with just a glance.

After Joshua left, Allison took a moment to look around the suite. It was clear someone lived here regularly; personal belongings scattered around the living room hinted it wasn’t just a quick stopover.

It was odd. The place didn’t seem like a spur-of-the-moment booking. It felt like Joshua came here often.

But didn’t he live in Oak Lake all the time?

Allison shook off the thought. It wasn't her business anyway.

She moved her luggage into the bedroom, realizing she only packed clothes and skincare stuff. She had no slippers for a shower.

Just as she was debating whether to ask Joshua about it, the doorbell rang.

Allison went to answer it.

A hotel staff member in uniform stood there, holding a tray in one hand and a bag in the other. "Hi, I'm here to drop off some things for Mr. Fisher."
