Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 459

He didn’t even notice her walk up—he had his back to her, totally caught up in his own world.

She, on the other hand, looked flawless. Her makeup was perfect, her figure tall and eye-catching, and honestly, she was gorgeous.

“Hey there, handsome. Want to be friends?” She flashed a flirty smile, holding out her phone with her Message QR code ready. “Mind if I add you?”

Joshua was still on the phone, barely sparing her a glance as he waved her off.

“Come on, don’t be so uptight,” she pouted, her voice teasing and sweet, every word laced with playful intent.

Joshua took a couple of steps to the side, putting more space between them, his phone still glued to his ear.

The woman pressed her lips together, a little annoyed, but she stayed put, waiting him out.

He didn’t keep her waiting long. When Joshua finally hung up and turned around, she was still standing there, looking bold as ever.

“Wow, you really are something else. I’ve never seen a guy like you in real life,” she said, grinning. “You’re not from here, are you? Just visiting? I could show you around—free tour guide, what do you say?”

Joshua still hadn’t noticed Allison behind him, so she couldn’t see his expression. But she was close enough to hear him answer, voice cool and distant: “No, thanks. I’m here to pick up my girlfriend.”

The woman’s smile faded; she looked genuinely disappointed. “Oh, you’re taken.”

She glanced over Joshua’s shoulder and spotted Allison. Tilting her chin, she asked, “Is that your girlfriend?”

That’s when Joshua finally turned around. The second he saw Allison, all the coldness in his eyes vanished. His whole face softened, like winter melting into spring. “Allie.”

He crossed over to her in a few easy strides.

Plus, the scenery here really was beautiful, exactly the kind of place that made you want to slow down and breathe for a while.

She couldn’t work nonstop forever. Sometimes you just needed some balance. After weeks of hard work, she deserved a little break.

Allison met Joshua’s eyes and said softly, “Alright. Let’s stay a few more days before we head back.”

A smile tugged at Joshua’s lips. “Perfect. Which hotel are you at? I’ll walk you over.”

She told him.

“I’m staying there too. Let’s go together,” Joshua said.

Allison nodded. There was only one decent hotel in town anyway—she’d kind of figured he’d be there too.
