Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 244

Days slipped by, snow falling softly over Oak Lake, and soon it was mid-January.

Allison picked up a call from her supervisor Pierce at the law firm. "Hey, Allison, I heard you're into golf?"

Allison was trying to remember who could've mentioned it when she suddenly recalled filling out an onboarding form where she had scribbled her love for golf.

"Yeah, Pierce, I do. What's up?" Allison replied.

Pierce chuckled warmly. "I've got a big client, Eric from Infinique Ventures, who's really into golf. I've set up a game with him on the 18th at Southern Ridge Royal Golf Course. I'd like you to come along with me."

Allison thought it over. Going with Pierce seemed like a safe bet with no unexpected twists, so she agreed. "Sure thing, Pierce."

"Eric's got a few cases he might sign with us. If we seal the deal, you'll earn a 20% commission. Allison, I know you're pretty set financially and might not care much about this extra cash, but as lawyers, it's all about sharpening our negotiation skills."

The fact that Allison was the Owens family's heiress was well-known in the firm, and Pierce had definitely heard about it.
