Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 350

Whenever Juniper took a nap, she would always wake up to find him at the desk in the room, handling his work. But today, the room was empty. He was gone.

Juniper frowned, picking up her phone and seeing the mountain of messages from Luella. Already in a sour mood, the endless scroll of texts and minute-long voice notes only made it worse. She promptly changed Luella's contact name to “The Reaper.”

Juniper: [You pick the place.]

Fine, she’d let them meet. Otherwise, the nagging would never end.

Juniper: [But you behave yourself.]

Luella: [Already behaved. Have mercy.]

Soon after, Juniper received a text from Luella with the location: a restaurant in a five-star hotel. She happened to love the food there. She saved the address and confirmed the time.

Then, she slipped on a jacket and headed downstairs. The kitchen was empty. The living room was empty. The entire house felt deserted.

“Ms. Payne, you’re awake,” Dana said, returning from grocery shopping with a smile. “There was an issue at the company, so Mr. Schwartz had to go in.”

“Oh.”

Any lingering hope of finding him in the living room vanished. Juniper collapsed onto the sofa like a boneless rag doll. The meeting with Luella was at six, less than an hour away.

Unable to find him, she opened her phone. Shanley’s name was pinned at the top of her chat list. He left for the office without telling her? Not even a text? He’d been acting so strangely lately, getting angry over nothing. Why were men so hard to figure out?

Remembering how much money Luella had scammed out of him, Juniper felt a pang of guilt and sent him a simple message: [1]

At that moment, Shanley was sitting in his office, his head in his hands, radiating an icy aura. Outside his door, the executives shivered, none of them daring to go in and face his wrath.

A notification chimed. Shanley opened his phone and saw the message from her: [1].
