Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1065

Juniper gave two light humphs.

Michael had been the one most violently opposed to her relationship with Shanley.

He used to scream about wanting to stab the leader of the Sigma Network to death.

And now, look how quickly he changed his tune, offering to cook for him personally.

Money really did make the world go round.

"Destiny is written in the stars." Shanley gently stroked her face, treating her like a precious treasure, his eyes intoxicating. "And seventy percent of it relies on... money."

And looks.

Juniper added silently in her mind.

There were plenty of rich guys out there.

Why did she choose him? It was definitely because of that face.

"Boss—"

As the two were gazing deeply at each other, an out-of-place voice came from Shanley's laptop.

"Boss, we're still waiting for your approval here." Flint pinched his thigh hard to maintain a professional composure.

Dammit.

He had just openly eavesdropped on the Boss flirting with Ms. Payne.

How embarrassing.

"Have everything prepped in advance, wait for my orders," Shanley's tone turned instantly cold. "Then ship it to the Subterra Vanguard base."

"Understood."

Flint shakily ended the video call and looked around at a room full of subordinates.

It was a video conference.

Which meant—

Everyone present had just heard the boss flirting.

Right now.

The crowd looked completely constipated as they all stared at Flint, bombarding him with questions:

"Flint, is the boss always like this?"

"Like what?" Flint sat in his chair, holding a coffee mug.

"A total simp? Are we allowed to say that?"

"Pfft—"

Flint spat out a mouthful of water, nearly jumping out of his skin in sheer terror.

The next day.

The sky was overcast, and soon a torrential downpour began.

Inside a solemn conference room.

Shanley sat elegantly at the head of the table, listening to the executives' reports while keeping an eye on his watch.
