Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

"Go on, drink your coffee," Allison mock-glared at her as she strolled by.

When she re-entered the conference room with the freshly printed contracts, she noticed a Starbucks cup sitting in front of Joshua. Looked like Watson had treated everyone.

Joshua caught her eyeing the coffee and, with a teasing grin, said, "One of the young ladies from your firm dropped it off, saying it was Watson's treat for everyone."

He glanced at Allison, a playful smirk still on his face. "Even I got one. Watson sure knows how to spread the love."

"Mr. Fisher, I bet you've never tried this kind of coffee before," Allison remarked offhandedly. "If it doesn't suit your taste, just leave it for someone who'd appreciate it. No need to waste it."

Joshua chuckled but stayed quiet.

"The contract's ready. Want to give it a look and sign now?" Allison handed over a hefty stack of A4 papers to Joshua.

"Sure thing."

Joshua took the contract and made a quick call, "You can come up now."

"On my way, Mr. Fisher."

In five minutes, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit and glasses showed up at the firm.

Joshua introduced him, "This is Mike Chen, our legal representative."

Allison nodded politely, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
