Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 33

After dinner, Joshua and Allison made their way down to the underground garage.

Allison strolled over to the blue Bentley.

Joshua suddenly asked, "So, how do you like driving this car?"

Allison bit her lip and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I took it for a spin last night. It's fantastic, thank you."

"Should I take off first, then?" Allison waved the keys she was holding, and then something clicked in her memory. "Oh, Joshua, I've got a gift for you. I meant to give it to you last night, but it slipped my mind."

"Oh? What kind of gift?"

"It's back at the hotel in my suitcase. I'll get it for you when I come back."

Joshua opened the driver-side door. "I'll come with you. Let me drive."

"Huh?" Allison was momentarily caught off guard but quickly recovered. "Sure, we can go together, but let me drive. You deserve a break."

Joshua had flown in from Oak Lake just to see her last night and had driven twenty kilometers first thing in the morning to get her breakfast. He had to be exhausted, and she didn’t want to add to his burden.

"Alright then," Joshua said with a gentle smile. He knew Allie was looking out for him.

He casually walked over to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in. "No arguments here."

As they cruised down the highway, they started chatting.

"Can I sit in on the hearing you're attending today?" Joshua asked.

"Sure, it's a contract dispute case. There are no trade secrets involved. Do you want to attend?"

"Yeah, is that okay?" Joshua's voice was calm, with a hint of careful interest. "I've never seen you in action in court before."

"Of course." Allison thought it was important for them to get to know each other better since they were engaged. "Did you bring your ID? You'll need it to fill out an application and get a visitor's pass."

"Yep, I brought it." He had needed it for the flight and had checked the court attendance requirements beforehand, so he made sure to have it on him.

"Great, I'll take you with me then."
