Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 85

Juniper's fingers tightened on her phone, but she maintained her composure.

[Yeah, my friend.]

Luella: [Okay, tell me about it.]

Luella wasn't too worried. The girl wasn't likely to get involved with a guy. Given her personality, it was a miracle she hadn't twisted his head off already.

Juniper: [This guy is being really nice to my friend. He takes her out to eat, drives her home, and is always showing up around her.]

Luella: [Is he handsome?]

Juniper thought for a moment. [I guess so.]

Among the men she knew, Shanley was definitely the best-looking.

Luella: [Is he old?]

Old? Juniper mulled over the word for a few seconds before replying.

[Pretty old, I think.]

Shanley was twenty-seven, nearly a decade older than her. That counted as old, right?

Luella: [Anything else? Any other strange behavior?]

Juniper: [He likes to buy my friend candy.]

Luella: [Your friend likes candy too?]

Juniper: [Yeah.]

Luella: [Old, you say? And he likes to buy her candy... It's probably nothing. Sounds like an elder doting on a younger person.]

Was that it? Her grandfather had also loved to buy her candy when he was alive. No wonder she didn't dislike Shanley. It turned out he was just like her grandfather.

Luella: [Someone's causing trouble at the casino. I have to go deal with it. Text me if you have any more questions. XOXO.]

"Jimmie Tate?"

The name instantly snapped Juniper to full attention. She had just been wondering how she was going to get a strand of his hair.

"That's right." Hearing the excitement in Juniper's voice, Rachel's confidence soared. She thought, “All my effort wasn't in vain after all.”

"Mr. Tate has been preparing for his new music video for a long time, but he's very particular and hasn't found a suitable choreographer or dancer yet."

Juniper had no interest in dancing, but this was a chance to meet Jimmie. This was a golden opportunity.

"If you're interested, I can arrange a meeting between you and Mr. Tate."

"I'm in," Juniper agreed immediately. "The sooner, the better."

"Of course. The day after tomorrow at the latest," Rachel promised, assuring her she would call back as soon as the time was confirmed.

It seemed Mr. Tate's name was all it took. Who knew it could even sway a dance prodigy like Master Lunar?
