Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 917

Felton and Flint didn't dare linger for another second. They scrambled away as fast as they could.

Day after day.

Working as assistants here was going to give them a heart attack.

...

The air grew quiet.

Shanley and Juniper stood facing each other, locked in a staring contest.

"What brings you here?"

After a moment, Shanley stepped forward, trying to take her hand.

"Don't."

Juniper took two steps back, dodging his grasp. She kept her arms crossed, looking at him with a teasing smirk. "You haven't explained yet. Which woman did you think was in your bed?"

"No one."

Shanley frowned deeply, his voice turning raspy. "No woman is ever allowed on the top floor. When I pushed the door open, saw the room had been touched, and noticed long hair on the pillow..."

"I figured some woman with a death wish had sneaked in, so I told Felton and Flint to handle it."

"If you don't believe me, ask them."

"Really?"

Juniper raised an eyebrow, a careless smile on her face. "Felton and Flint are your men, of course they listen to you. They might even be helping you hide someone."

"I am completely innocent."

Shanley took a step closer, grasping her hand. He looked down at her face, his expression incredibly serious. "Do you want to check the security footage? Everything is backed up."

"I don't have the energy for that."

Juniper hadn't actually doubted him to begin with; she was just too lazy to waste time on it.

She had a sharp sense of smell, and if there had been another unfamiliar scent in the room, she would have noticed immediately.

This man was completely devoted.

"You're just messing with me, aren't you?" Seeing the mischievous smile playing on the girl's lips, Shanley finally caught on.

"It's alright."

Juniper glared at him, though what she meant as a glare only looked like an adorable pout to him.

"Want to mess with me a little more?"

Shanley chuckled softly, leaning down to kiss the tip of her nose, his voice utterly captivating.

"Tch."
