Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn)

Breanna had just landed a job at Owens Legal Services after acing her interview, and today was her first official day as a salaried attorney there.

Coincidentally, Joy had recently left Summit & Vale Solicitors to join Allison's firm too, so Allison decided to team Joy up with Breanna as her assistant. Both of them were outgoing and bubbly, so they hit it off right away.

For the Helix Sciences case, Allison organized the evidence and drafted a complaint, taking Watson's suggestions into account.

As the workday was winding down, Allison got a call from a private investigator.

"Hey, Ms. Allison, I've got some updates on the whole Shawn and Lillian situation you asked me to dig into. Got time to meet today? I've got something for you."

Allison replied, "Sure thing. I'm just about to head out. How about we meet at the café near my office?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Allison gave him the address and said, "Meet you there at 6:30."

"Alright, Ms. Allison."

After hanging up, Watson knocked and stepped into her office. "Allison, I've been mulling over what my aunt said yesterday, and I think I owe you an apology on her behalf."

Allison raised an eyebrow. "No worries, I knew she was joking around. Didn't bother me."

"How about this?" Watson adjusted his glasses. "Let me take you out for dinner to make up for it."

Allison chuckled. "Really, there's no need. Let's not make it a big deal."

Watson glanced at her, paused, and then said, "Okay then."

"Oh, by the way," Allison said, handing over two thick manila folders. "We got a couple of new cases today. These are right up your alley."

Watson took the folders with a grin "More cases already? You really meant¶t when you said working with you wouldn't leave me out in the cold." .

"Is your goal really just to avoid the cold?" Allison laughed. "Go ahead, take a look."

Watson opened the folders. They were trademark dispute cases.

He skimmed through the materials quickly, a smile playing at his lips. "Looks like

I've already covered last night's wine bill."

Allison smiled too. "Told you, I wouldn't let you down."

"Thanks," Watson said, putting away the files.

After work, Allison tidied up her desk and headed to the café nearby for her meeting.

Allison sat down across from him. "Hey, Ellory."

The investigator, whose last name was Johnson, went by Ellory.

"Hey, Ms. Allison."

After exchanging greetings, Ellory rummaged through his backpack.

"Here's what I've got-photos of Shawn and Lillian over the past few days." He

handed over a manila envelope.
