Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 339

“Sir, is Ms. Payne not awake yet?” Dana hesitated for a few seconds before asking cautiously. Normally, the two of them came down together.

“Don’t mention that heartless little thing.” Shanley’s brows were knitted together, a frosty layer covering his handsome face. He sounded both angry and helpless.

What? Heartless little thing? Mr. Schwartz dared to call Ms. Payne that?!

“I serve her the best food and drinks every day, and all she does is make me miserable.” Shanley picked up an egg and began to slowly peel it, his deep eyes dark as he grumbled.

What Luella? Some ghost? Was that person as good to her as he was? He didn’t even know what this Luella looked like. Was he younger? More handsome?

Dana stood frozen, holding a towel, staring at Shanley in complete confusion. Mr. Schwartz sounded like a jilted lover.

“Dana…” Shanley grew more depressed the more he thought about it. He looked up at Dana, who looked even more confused than he felt, and asked glumly, “Am I very old?”

“What?” Dana jumped, carefully studying the man’s face. He wasn’t really old. He was only twenty-seven. But… compared to Ms. Payne, there was a nine-year age gap. So maybe he was a little old.

“Sir, how could you possibly think like that?” Dana was no fool. She beamed. “A young man in his twenties, how is that old? Now, these old bones of mine, that’s what you call old.”

“What if…” Shanley paused in his egg-peeling, his eyes locking onto Dana’s, his expression grave. “If you were Juniper, and you had two equally wealthy men to choose from—one young, and one a bit older—who would you pick?”

Dana’s breath caught in her throat. Both wealthy? Well… that made it a bit tricky.

“Of course I would choose you, sir,” Dana said, recovering quickly and forcing a wide smile onto her wrinkled face. “You are truly good to Ms. Payne, sir. No matter how young or rich someone else is, how could they compare to you?”
