Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 756

“Boss, I’ll just—” Before Flint could finish, Shanley’s cold, low growl filled the room. “Get out.”

“Right away.” Flint immediately dropped the files and practically scrambled out of the Cloudscape Community apartment. His bonus versus his life… he chose life.

“Mr. Schwartz, won’t you have some breakfast?” Dana asked cautiously.

“Not hungry.” Shanley shot to his feet, but the sudden movement pulled at his wound, the pain nearly doubling him over. What was the point of eating? He might as well starve. It wasn’t like anyone cared.

“Are you sure?” Dana swirled the soup in her hands, a smile playing on her lips. “Ms. Payne made this herbal soup herself.”

“Juniper made it?” Shanley stopped and turned back to Dana, his lips twitching into a faint line.

“Yes,” Dana said, pouring a bowl as her smile deepened. “She said the timing for this recipe had to be strictly controlled, so she handled it personally.”

Shanley obediently returned to his seat. After finishing one bowl, he commanded, “Bring me the whole pot.”

“Huh?” Dana was momentarily stunned. He was going to drink that entire pot of foul-tasting medicinal broth in one go? But then she remembered—it was made by Ms. Payne. He’d probably drink poison if she served it.

At the main entrance of Eclara University, a congratulatory banner was on display, featuring a photo of Professor Tucker, the grand champion of the World Programming Competition. The old man had toiled for so many years; his hard work had finally paid off.

Juniper smiled to herself. This meant the snack supply in the lab was about to get a major upgrade. With that happy thought, she quickened her pace toward the laboratory.

Within minutes, she noticed surprised stares and hushed whispers from the students around her.

“Wow, it’s Juniper.”

“The former champion of the World Programming Competition finals is a student here with us.”

“Yeah, she’s good enough to be giving lectures to the computer science professors.”
