Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 269

Valentine's Day rolled around on February 14th, and Allison wasn't interested in the festivities. She was single and fully engrossed in her new law firm, leaving no room for romantic distractions.

Her office space was still undergoing renovations when Zach somehow dug up the address and decided to make a grand gesture by sending sixty-six floral arrangements to mark her new venture.

Allison was in a café with Watson, hashing out the details of a potential partnership, when her phone buzzed. It was the contractor.

"Hey, Ms. Allison, someone sent over sixty-six flower arrangements, and they're taking over the hallway and office. Could you swing by and sort it out? We can't keep working like this."

"Sixty-six arrangements? Is there a name on them?"

"Yeah, some guy named Zach."

Just hearing his name made Allison's head throb. She took a deep breath, massaging her temple with a look of sheer exasperation. "Alright, I'll head over and sort it out. Take a breather in the meantime."

After ending the call, she turned to Watson. "There's a hiccup at the firm I need to handle. Sorry, we'll have to push back signing the contract."

"No worries at all."
