From that moment on, Chris was all about getting back at the Fisher family.
Mills raised an eyebrow, “Did Chris come after her again?”
Joshua’s eyes turned icy as he explained how Chris had hired people to chase him and Allison, and how Javier was pushed down the stairs.
Mills looked shocked. “Heavy weapons? How does Chris have the guts?”
“He’s covered his tracks well. The cops can’t pin it on him.”
“You’d better watch your back. Chris can do anything.”
“I’m on it.”
Mills sighed, giving Joshua’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “Breaking up was the right call, but it’s rough on both of you, being in love but kept apart.”
Joshua lowered his gaze, his heart in agony.
Kept apart? No way. This was just a bump in the road. Once he sorted things out with Chris, he’d win Allison back.
…
Meanwhile, Eric sidled over to Allison, “Ms. Allison, are you into golf?”
Allison scooted a bit away from Eric, replying politely, “A little, but I don’t play much.”
Eric was clueless about Allison’s background. He thought she was just a regular lawyer scraping by on a modest paycheck. To him, that kind of money wouldn’t even cover a fancy dinner.
But to him, what they wanted wasn’t much. Allison was a rare beauty, far more stunning than any social media star or minor celeb he’d been with. If he could win her over, no price was too steep.
Determined, Eric kept his cool smile. “No worries, I know you lawyers are busy. We can plan for another time. Let’s just enjoy today.”
Allison grinned, “Sounds good, Eric.”
Eric, enchanted by her smile, blurted out, “How about a bet? If you can land a ball on the green in ten strokes, I’ll give you ten grand. For each stroke under, another ten grand.”
Allison playfully replied, “And if I miss? What if I can’t make it in ten strokes?”
Eric beamed, “Then maybe you’d join me for dinner tonight? Just the two of us.”
