Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 473

“This is the perfect opportunity!” Luella’s voice crackled with excitement through the phone. “You two focus on preparing for the competition. Leave the arrangements to me!”

“Deal.”

Juniper hung up just as she heard the door open, her expression calm as she looked up.

“The hotel perimeter is secure,” Shanley announced as he and Harold walked in side by side. “You can rest easy.”

“Didn’t see anyone suspicious?” Juniper asked, leaning back lazily in her chair. Her clear eyes were fixed on Shanley.

“Hmm?” Shanley walked over, twisted the cap off a water bottle, and handed it to her.

“Suspicious like who?” he replied coolly.

“...Never mind.” Juniper took the bottle, her brow furrowed slightly, but she didn’t say anything more.

That old fox, the leader of Sigma Network, was as elusive as a ghost. It wouldn't be that easy to find him.

“It’s late. Let’s get ready for bed,” Shanley said gently before turning to Harold with a raised eyebrow. “Dr. Houston, did you need something else?”

Harold stuffed his hands in his pockets, a look of confusion on his face as his deep-set eyes narrowed slightly. “Juniper’s not leaving?”

Juniper just looked up at him without a word.

“Right,” Harold sighed, pressing his lips together in resignation as he headed toward the adjacent suite.

...

After her shower, Juniper changed into her pajamas and lay in bed waiting for Shanley, texting Luella about the men she was sending.
