Chapter 265

Allison had been up to her neck in work lately.

She was knee-deep in scouting locations and hiring staff. After sifting through countless options, she finally

snagged an entire floor in the bustling heart of Oak Lake for her law firm's office. She named her venture Owens

Legal Services.

According to the rulebook, law firm partners need at least three years of experience. Lucky for her, Allison had

already clocked in three years at Havenbrook and another six months at Summit & Vale Solicitors in Oak Lake.

But tracking down other suitable partners? Now, that was a whole different ball game.

Her cousin Shawn had tried to help by introducing her to sof Oak Lake's top- tier attorneys, but the snag

was, most of them had already set up shop on their own, and the law doesn't let lawyers double-dip with two

firms.

So, hunting down partners had shot to the top of her to-do list.

One afternoon, Allison was enjoying tea with her two besties at Bvlgari.

Hearing about Allison's new venture, Olivia perked up with a suggestion. "Remember Watson?" Olivia asked. "He

was in our year, from the Law and Politics University nearby."

Allison, Sabrina, and Olivia had all attended Lakeside College, one of the top- notch schools in the country. The

neighboring Law and Politics University was no slouch either, ranking just below the prestigious law university in

the capital.

Allison paused, "Watson? The nsounds familiar, but | can't quite place him."

Sabrina clapped her hands on the table, "Seriously? You don't remember Watson? He was the heartthrob next

door. Everyone was always comparing him to Joshua. You really don't remember him?"

Allison racked her brain, then shrugged, "Honestly, | don't recall. You know | wasn't into that scene and wasn't

big on socializing. What's a campus heartthrob got to do with me?"

"Fair point," Sabrina said, rolling her eyes. "You were such a bookworm, always buried in your studies. While

others were out dating on weekends, you were nestled away in the library. Every guy who confessed their love

got a big fat no, and you didn't have a single romance throughout college. With your family's wealth, you didn't

even need to work that hard."

Olivia chuckled, "Allie has her own dreams. Business wasn't her thing; she was all about becoming a top lawyer."

"But back to Watson, he was definitely easy on the eyes," Sabrina sighed. "I had a thing for him for a bit, but he

wasn't intoat all. | was a mess for three days after he turneddown."

Allison laughed, "Really? When did that happen? How c| never heard about

it?"

Sabrina muttered, "It was

embarrassing. Getting turned down isn't exactly something you shout from the rooftops. But, honestly, every girl

who confessed to Watson could line up from the schoobgate to France. Getting rejected by him isn't too

shameful."

Allison playfully teased, "You're contradicting yourself. First, it's embarrassing, then it's not."

"Oh, quit being so literal," Sabrina laughed, giving Allison a light slap on the arm.

"Here, letshow you his picture. He really is handsome! No wonder | liked him. There's a reason those girls

always compared him to Joshua. In all these years, he's the only one | know whose looks could give Joshua a run

for his money." Content belongs to
