Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 378

Luella replied instantly: [Looking for abs? I’m an expert at that.]

Juniper: [Deal.]

Luella: [Seriously, Juniper, think about what I said. There are so many hot guys out there. Kick that old man to the curb, and you can have your pick.]

Juniper’s brow twitched, and she quickly closed the chat window. She couldn't believe it, but she was actually a little intimidated.

As their text exchange ended, the sports car pulled to a stop. Shanley unfolded his long legs and led Juniper towards the research facility. Harold’s lab was in the left wing; it wasn’t large, but it was well-equipped. Shanley had rented the space on Baldy Fox’s recommendation. Had he inadvertently invited a wolf into his own territory? He hoped Harold would behave himself.

At the lab entrance, Juniper stopped. “You should wait for me out here,” she told Shanley.

Medical experiments required intense focus. If he was in the room, she knew she wouldn't be able to concentrate.

“Alright,” Shanley agreed without a moment’s hesitation, giving her his complete trust. “Here’s some lemonade. It’ll help you stay sharp.”

“Thanks.” Juniper took the bottle, passed through security, and headed towards Lab Nine.

“Boss, are you sure about letting Ms. Payne be alone with Harold?” Flint asked, unable to hide his concern. The way that guy looked at Ms. Payne was definitely not platonic.

“It’s fine,” Shanley said, sitting down and crossing his legs elegantly. He offered a lazy smile.
