Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 31

Joshua could sense that Allison felt a bit out of place in the room, so he casually said, "Take a look around and let me know if there's anything you need. I'm gonna head upstairs for a quick shower."

"Hold on a sec."

Joshua stopped and turned back, curious. "What's up?"

Allison rummaged through her backpack and handed him a bottle of milk. "Joshua, could you help me get in touch with a testing agency? I've got a feeling there might be something off with this milk."

Joshua's eyes narrowed with concern. "Is someone trying to mess with you?"

Allison nodded seriously. "Seems like it, but I'm not exactly sure. Better to play it safe."

"Got it, leave it to me."

Joshua pulled out his phone to make a call. "Hey, can you swing by? I need you to handle something important." He walked off, disappearing around the corner.

Allison let out a deep breath, feeling her tension ease up a bit.

When she'd handed the milk to Joshua, she'd unexpectedly caught his dark eyes. For a moment, it felt like her heart skipped a beat.
