Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1557

Janet froze for a few seconds before a soft smile broke across her face. "A little."

The others only saw Melvin walk past her and pause for a brief moment.

They didn't catch what was said.

But since they were essentially family, a quick chat seemed perfectly normal.

Once inside the resort.

After settling into their rooms, the girl next door rushed over to Janet.

"Janet, later on, you absolutely have to find out if Mr. Steele has a girlfriend or not, okay?"

"Yeah, seriously! If he's single, I want to shoot my shot."

Janet looked up and realized it was Tanya Talbot, the law department's resident beauty. Big beautiful eyes and legs for days—a textbook stunner.

"Please help me out, Janet." Tanya grabbed her arm, pleading so sweetly it could melt bone. "I was just watching Mr. Steele's racing videos, and he is seriously too hot."

"I know it's a little forward, but how many times in your life do you meet someone you really like? You have to grab the opportunity and strike while the iron's hot, don't you think?"

"Huh?" Janet's brain was a complete mess, only snapping back to reality when Tanya shook her arm.

"Then it's settled. Mr. Steele is technically your brother anyway, so I'm leaving the intel-gathering to you!"

With that, Tanya bounced away happily, leaving Janet standing there, internally reeling.

If she asked, wouldn't Melvin think she was being weird?

And more importantly, she really didn't want to know the answer.

After checking in.

Everyone unpacked their bags and gathered in the conference room at 2 PM.

Professor Zuniga gave a brief speech and then let the students mingle.

Since the attendees of the "training seminar" weren't well-versed in actual law.

Professor Zuniga specifically arranged a two-on-one setup, pairing students with executives to answer legal questions.

Since Janet knew Melvin, the professor assigned her to his group.

"There's one more spot..."

Kian immediately stood up, volunteering himself. "Professor, let me assist Mr. Steele. I heard he recently opened a new company, and I actually have some relevant experience."
