Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 351

Joshua's voice was rich and sultry, with a husky edge that made Allison's heart skip a beat. He was definitely doing it on purpose. Allison's cheeks flushed, though it was more from irritation than anything else.

"How could you miss that massive shredder over there?" Allison snapped.

"Where?"

"Right there." Without thinking, Allison turned to point, and her lips accidentally brushed against Joshua's. Surprised, she jumped up. "Joshua!"

He had leaned in just as she turned, making their lips meet.

Allison was fuming, "Can you stop fooling around? I'm really busy and don't have time for your games."

Seeing she was genuinely upset, Joshua toned it down. He picked up the pile of discarded papers, his tone soothing, "Don't be mad, Allison. I honestly didn't see it."

"Yeah, right!" Allison retorted, her face burning and her voice rising.

Joshua walked over to the shredder nearby, feeding the papers in a few sheets at a time. "Come on, Allie, don't be mad. How about I make it up to you with dinner at your favorite barbecue spot tonight?"

"No way!"

Just then, someone knocked at the door. Allison took a deep breath to calm herself before speaking, "Come in."

It was Watson, dressed sharply in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "When did Mr. Fisher start doing assistant work?"

Turning to Allison, he teased, "Allison, since when does our firm have the clout to hire the CEO of Fisher Corporation for odd jobs?"

Allison wasn't in the mood for jokes. Her expression darkened, and her tone showed her annoyance, "Some people just have too much free time."

Noticing her displeasure, Watson's playful demeanor softened, and he asked with concern, "Is something wrong? Did something upset you?"
