Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 265

Allison had been up to her neck in work lately.

She was knee-deep in scouting locations and hiring staff. After sifting through countless options, she finally snagged an entire floor in the bustling heart of Oak Lake for her law firm’s office. She named her venture Owens Legal Services.

According to the rulebook, law firm partners need at least three years of experience. Lucky for her, Allison had already clocked in three years at Havenbrook and another six months at Summit & Vale Solicitors in Oak Lake. But tracking down other suitable partners? Now, that was a whole different ball game.

Her cousin Shawn had tried to help by introducing her to some of Oak Lake's top-tier attorneys, but the snag was, most of them had already set up shop on their own, and the law doesn't let lawyers double-dip with two firms.

So, hunting down partners had shot to the top of her to-do list.

...

One afternoon, Allison was enjoying tea with her two besties at Bvlgari.

Hearing about Allison's new venture, Olivia perked up with a suggestion.

“Remember Watson?” Olivia asked. “He was in our year, from the Law and Politics University nearby.”

Allison, Sabrina, and Olivia had all attended Lakeside College, one of the top-notch schools in the country. The neighboring Law and Politics University was no slouch either, ranking just below the prestigious law university in the capital.

Allison laughed, “Really? When did that happen? How come I never heard about it?”

Sabrina muttered, “It was embarrassing. Getting turned down isn’t exactly something you shout from the rooftops. But, honestly, every girl who confessed to Watson could line up from the school gate to France. Getting rejected by him isn’t too shameful.”

Allison playfully teased, “You’re contradicting yourself. First, it's embarrassing, then it’s not.”

“Oh, quit being so literal,” Sabrina laughed, giving Allison a light slap on the arm.

“Here, let me show you his picture. He really is handsome! No wonder I liked him. There’s a reason those girls always compared him to Joshua. In all these years, he’s the only one I know whose looks could give Joshua a run for his money.”
