Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 323

After a bit, there was a knock at the door.

The next thing she knew, the door swung open, and Watson popped his head in. "Hey, Allison, mind if I come in?"

Allison nodded, "Sure, come on in."

Watson stepped inside.

"Is this about the Helix Sciences case?" Allison asked. "I was just thinking of coming to find you. That case is a real puzzle, and I could use your take on it."

Helix Sciences, a biotech company, had its CEO, Javier, as an old buddy of Allison's. Right after her law firm opened, Helix Sciences had already trusted them with a bunch of cases.

One particular case had a tangled web of legal issues and sketchy evidence, making it quite the gamble if taken to court.

But Watson shook his head. "Nah, I didn't come to talk about Helix Sciences."

Allison raised her eyebrows, a touch of confusion in her gaze. "Oh? Then what's up?"

"Something on your mind lately?"

Allison paused. "You noticed?"
