Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 250

Mills shook his head with a sigh. It was clear now—his buddy was hopelessly in love, head over heels and beyond saving.

Joshua had been the object of countless crushes since childhood, with admirers as persistent as Sue. Yet, with his frosty exterior, he never seemed to care for any of them.

Mills used to think Joshua just wasn’t into women. But that changed when he spotted Allison’s photo at Joshua’s place. Turns out, Joshua wasn’t indifferent; he had always carried a torch for someone.

For her, he turned everyone else away.

After dinner, Eric was thoroughly plastered, and the restaurant manager had already called a ride for him. Eric was the first to head out.

Outside the restaurant, Pierce said his goodbyes to Joshua and Mills, “Mr. Fisher, Mills, we'll be off now.”

Joshua stayed silent.

Picking up on Joshua's unspoken worries, Mills stepped in, “Are you guys catching a cab?”

Pierce responded, “Yeah, Ms. Allison and I are here on a business trip. We are staying at a hotel.”

Joshua’s brow twitched slightly at that.

Mills knew Joshua wasn’t thrilled about Allison heading back with a middle-aged guy who’d been drinking, so he quickly offered, “I can give Ms. Allison a lift. I haven't had a drop, so I can drive.”

Pierce checked his phone’s ride confirmation, thinking: Why didn’t you speak up sooner?

Since the ride was already booked, he couldn’t exactly cancel it just to bum a ride with Mills, so he said, “That’d be great, Mills.”

Allison, however, shook her head, “It’s okay. I’ll just call a cab.”

She pulled out her phone to order a ride.

With a playful grin, Mills asked, “Ms. Allison, do you not trust my driving?”

Allison glanced quickly at Joshua before looking back at Mills, politely saying, “Mills, you know that’s not what I meant.”

Joshua, what game are you playing?

She had been trying hard to forget him, to stop thinking about him. He just kept showing up, doing things that made her second guess everything—inviting her to dinner, ordering her favorite dishes, his eyes always drifting back to her, only to flaunt his affection for Megan right afterward.

What did he think she was? A plaything?

“Ms. Allison, let me...”

“I said I don’t need it!” Allison snapped, cutting Mills off, her voice sharp and ready for a confrontation.

Mills blinked, awkwardly rubbing his nose, “Alright then, you can catch a cab yourself.”

Well, well, this lady who seemed so gentle and composed sure had a fiery side.

Joshua, oh Joshua, you’ve stirred the pot—good luck smoothing things over with her now.
