Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 264

Allison gave the door a gentle knock.

Without wasting any time, Allison walked in and got straight to the point. "Pierce, I'm thinking of resigning."

Not too long ago, Allison and Pierce had gone on a business trip to Southern Ridge, and she effortlessly secured a decade-long contract with Infinique Ventures for case representation and legal advice. She was practically the firm's lucky charm, and Pierce was loath to see her go.

Allison didn't sugarcoat her reasons. "Lillian and I have some personal issues. I can't work under her."

Despite the glossy facade, these non-partner lawyers were just employees of the firm. Every case they handled meant a slice of the pie went to the firm, eventually trickling down as dividends for the partners and investors.

No matter how many cases Allison worked on, she was still an employee. Before, it didn't bother her as she was there to gain experience. But now, with Lillian climbing the ranks to become one of the bosses, every case Allison took would mean working for Lillian, who would likely give her a hard time.
