Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 376

Juniper: [Second, I want that piece of rare red sandalwood in the left drawer of your lab.]

A heavy silence followed her message.

Shanley knew the wood she was talking about. It was said to be centuries old, blessed by multiple masters, and worth several Rolls-Royces. The old man treasured it like his own eyes. His grandfather had once merely touched it, and the man had given him the silent treatment for a month.

Juniper: [No deal? Then forget about me training your student.]

Baldy Fox: [Please, ask for something else! Anything but that!]

Juniper: [No.]

Another silence. After a few seconds, Juniper typed again.

Juniper: [Fine, I’ll trade you that reagent you’ve been eyeing.]

Baldy Fox: [Two vials! I want two vials!!!]

Juniper: [?]

Baldy Fox: [Okay, okay, one vial it is. But my dear, what do you need my sandalwood for?]

Juniper glanced at Shanley’s wrist. A hand that handsome would look even better adorned with a string of beads carved from that very wood.

Juniper: [None of your business.]

Baldy Fox: [Alright then. I’ll leave my student in your hands.]

Juniper didn’t reply, instead opening her chat with Harold.

[Be at the lab in the suburbs tomorrow at 6 PM.]

She needed to see what he was made of. She had no time to waste on someone with a slow mind.

Harold: [Understood.]
