Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 147

"Sorry about that—I didn't mean to drop the wine glass. Let me clean it up," Lillian said, crouching down to pick up the shattered pieces.

Her low-cut dress was hard to ignore, and Joshua quickly turned his gaze elsewhere, already sounding impatient. "Get up. Just head home."

As Lillian reached for the shards, she suddenly yelped. Her finger was cut, and bright red blood dripped onto the floor.

She stood up shakily, looking up at him with a pitiful expression. "Joshua, I got cut by the glass. Can you take me to the hospital?"

Joshua glanced at her wound, his face showing little concern. "There are band-aids and antiseptic at home. Just take care of it yourself."

"Can't you take me to the hospital? It really hurts."

Joshua smirked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "By the time we get there, it'll probably heal on its own."

John replied respectfully, "Ma'am, he just wrapped up a meeting."

"I need to speak with him."
