Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 234

"Hey Shannon, I could really use a hand with cooking over at my place. I'll shoot you the address. Just let me know when you can swing by, and give me a heads-up before you come."

Shannon chuckled, "I'm actually free right now. Are you home? I could pop over immediately."

"Sure, come on over."

After the call, Shannon turned to Joshua and said, "Mr. Fisher, Ms. Allison is on board."

"Great. She often skips meals when she's busy. Since her place is near the office, you'll need to drop off her lunch on weekdays. I'll sort out your pay, but if Allison offers, just take it. And keep it under wraps that this was my idea."

The thought of earning double made Shannon's face light up with excitement. "Alright, Mr. Fisher, don't worry. I'll take good care of Ms. Allison."

...

After New Year's, Joshua was buried under a mountain of work at the office. He kept pushing through, knowing that even a second of downtime would bring thoughts of Allison rushing back.

In the CEO's office, Joshua was glued to his desk, focused on his tasks. Brian sat on the sofa, watching him with a mix of emotions. "Joshua, there's something I'm not sure if I should bring up."

Joshua didn't even look up, his tone was cool, "Then don't."

Brian hesitated, then blurted out, "It's about Allison. You sure you don't want to hear?"

Joshua paused his typing, glancing up, "What's up?"

Brian knew all too well—mention Allison, and Joshua would be all ears. But he also knew this news might not sit well with him.

With a nervous cough, Brian said, "Sabrina's been talking about setting Allison up with some college guys lately..."

He glanced at Joshua, watching his expression darken as expected.

Joshua's jaw clenched, "College guys?"

"Your sister's trying to set Allie up. What did Allie say?"

Brian's face twisted with uncertainty. "You... really want to know?"

"Yes."

"Okay, but don't blow a fuse."

Brian cautiously replied, "Sabrina mentioned that on New Year's Eve, Allison agreed."

"Agreed to what?"

Brian's mouth ran ahead of his brain, "Agreed to let her introduce someone."

As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a loud "thud" as Joshua's ceramic mug hit the carpeted floor. Luckily, the carpet softened the blow, and it didn’t shatter.
