Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 402

What did Ms. Payne just say? She wanted to see his body? How could such an explosive statement come from her young mouth?!

Harold gave her a long, deep look, realized she wasn't joking, and scrambled for the door.

"Harold!"

Juniper frowned and strode after him. In her haste, she tripped over a nearby chair and instinctively pitched forward.

Normally, Juniper could have caught herself, but seeing the room full of expensive reagents, she chose to take the fall. Breaking them would cost money, and that was a waste.

"Watch out!"

Harold saw her falling, his expression changing instantly as he opened his arms to catch her. “THUD—”

Juniper crashed into his chest. The momentum sent them both tumbling to the floor.

"Are you okay?" Harold asked, worried.

"I'm fine."

Juniper's attention, however, was fixed on his half-unbuttoned shirt. She went straight for it, her hands tearing at the fabric. "Let me see here…"

"What are you doing?" Harold's face went white with panic as he instinctively tried to stop her. This girl seemed possessed today.

…

Outside, Shanley was growing increasingly uneasy. He went to the break room, changed into a lab coat, and went through the disinfection protocol before heading toward the lab. He wasn't going to go in, just take a peek from the door.
