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.

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

"Yeah, some guy named Zach."
