Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 401

"Oops," she said, shaking the bottle, her beautiful face perfectly calm. "I accidentally spilled water on you again."

This time she'd poured a lot more, soaking a large patch from his left shoulder down.

Harold had just taken off his lab coat and hadn't even put down the instrument in his hand when he heard the girl behind him speak again. He turned his head and, well, what do you know. The first time, he suspected. This time, he was sure it was intentional. What had he done to provoke her?

"You should probably take off your jacket," Juniper said, shaking the empty bottle, her delicate face tilted up, her tone unnervingly serene.

"Grandmaster…" Harold was on the verge of tears, completely exasperated. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Nope," Juniper replied earnestly, blinking her eyes.

Speechless, Harold silently put down his instrument and started unbuttoning his jacket.

The lab's air conditioning was on, keeping the temperature low, so Harold was wearing three layers. Lab coat, off. Jacket, off. Now just the shirt remained. To get him to go shirtless, she'd need to put in more effort. Maybe pour it over his head this time?

Juniper's eyes darted around the lab. There were no basins or buckets, so drenching him from above would be tricky.

Besides, after the first two "accidents," Harold was being extra cautious. While doing his experiments, he deliberately stood opposite her, keeping one eye on his work and the other on her.

After a few moments of silence, Juniper's attention was drawn to a bottle of chemicals on the shelf. Non-toxic, harmless, but… smelly. If it got on you, you'd have to strip off all your clothes immediately.

"Add the iodine," Juniper said, walking toward Harold.

Harold was terrified of her at this point. He didn't dare yell or scold her. Seeing her approach, he instinctively dodged away.
