Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Just half an hour after sealing the deal, a hefty amount landed in the law firm's account out of nowhere.

Liu, the firm's accountant, was so taken aback he practically sprinted into Allison's office.

"Allison, we've just received an eight million dollar transfer!" Liu blurted out, eyes wide like saucers. "What's happening?"

"We just finalized a major deal with Fisher Corporation. That's the attorney fee. There's more coming once the case wraps up," Allison explained, cool as a cucumber.

"What? You mean there's more than this? A balance payment?" Liu was floored. "Yep," Allison replied with a bright smile. "I'll treat everyone to dinner on Friday." "Awesome!" Liu beamed, his excitement contagious.

Not long after Liu left, Watson walked in.

"I heard we've snagged another big case? With Fisher Corporation, no less?"

"Yep, I'll be handing a few cases over to your team soon."

Watson looked a bit on edge. "Mr. Fisher really doesn't hold back, does he? Eight million just like that. So, what's the total?"

"This much," Allison said, flashing a peace sign with two fingers.

Two hundred million.

Watson let out a whistle, joking, "After this, can we all just kick back and relax?"

"Where's your drive, Watson?" Allison teased. "I want Owens Legal Services to be the top firm in Oak Lake."
