Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 118

"It was a defamation case, and we were the plaintiffs," Allison said, taking a sip of her drink. "Joshua, you wouldn't believe how tough it was to gather evidence for this one. The client initially handed over such incomplete evidence, and I spent over a month piecing it all together with them."

"Over a month? Wasn't that right before our engagement?" Joshua asked, placing a peeled shrimp into Allison's bowl. "That sounds exhausting."

"Yeah, it was just before we got engaged," Allison replied, dipping the shrimp into some sauce. "It was tiring, sure, but once we got the winning verdict, it was all worth it."

With a smile, Allison pulled out her phone. "Oh, and my client even sent me a plaque. Here, take a look."

Allison eagerly flipped through her photo gallery, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she showed off the plaque. "It's the first time a client has sent me something like this."

She beamed like a kid who'd just been given a gold star in kindergarten. Her bright eyes were waiting for some praise.

Joshua looked at her with tender affection, his voice gentle and doting. "My star lawyer is really something." "Hehe," Allison giggled, blinking playfully, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "Just doing my thing."

Shawn felt a tight knot form in his chest, and his back stiffening a bit.

He'd always thought their relationship was just a business deal, nothing more. He figured if he straightened up, he'd have a shot at winning Allison back.

Now, he realized how wrong he was.
