Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 439

Carolyn’s warmth was hard to resist, so in the end, Allison accepted the gift.

“Thank you, Ms. Witt.”

Carolyn’s smile was stunning. “Ms. Witt? Come on, that’s way too formal. We’ve been through so much together. Just call me Luna from now on, alright?”

Allison couldn’t help but laugh.

That was sudden.

When Allison hesitated, Carolyn put on an exaggerated pout and huffed, “What, you’re not calling me Luna because we’re love rivals?”

She looked nothing like the intimidating boss Allison was used to. That little huff was weirdly cute—almost playful. The contrast was pretty striking.

But there was real sincerity in Carolyn’s eyes.

Allison gave it a try, a bit shy. “Luna.”

Carolyn’s smile widened, her eyes lighting up. “Allison.”

It felt strange, but also kind of nice. Who would’ve thought love rivals could get along like this? It was actually… refreshing.

Allison grinned. “Thanks again for the gift. I really like it.”

“Good! I was worried it wouldn’t be your thing,” Luna replied, clearly relieved.

“I honestly thought you came to talk about the case,” Allison admitted.

Luna waved it off. “There’s nothing left to say—I already said my piece. I believe in you, Allison. You’ve got this.”

“Thanks. I’ll do my best.”

The truth was, ever since the whole Cindy incident, Allison had realized that beneath Carolyn’s strong exterior, she was actually pretty genuine—and even a little naïve sometimes. She gave her all to her friends, and ended up getting hurt for it.

Allison felt bad for her, but knowing Carolyn’s pride, she kept those feelings to herself. Someone like Carolyn would hate being pitied.

What she really didn’t expect was for Carolyn to reach out to her first.

Luna shot her a mock glare. “Oh, sure. They say the favored are fearless. You’re totally relaxed because he’s into you.”

Allison’s smile faded, her gaze dropping. She said quietly, “It’s not like that. I don’t have anything to be fearless about. Joshua and I… we’re really over.”

Seeing Allison’s sadness, Luna was surprised to feel a hint of regret for her.

Wait, what? Shouldn’t she be happy?

Why did she actually feel bad for Allison?

Luna shook her head, trying to get rid of that ridiculous thought.

Allison couldn’t help laughing at the sight. “What are you doing?”

“I must be going crazy,” Luna laughed. “I actually just felt sorry for you and Joshua.”

Allison stared at her. “Yeah, you’re definitely crazy…”
