Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1717

"I didn't realize your gym actively drives customers away." Annie stood up as well, clutching her designer bag, glaring haughtily at Ebony Fox. "If that's how you operate, why even stay open? You might as well shut down right now."

"Alright."

Ebony Fox stopped in her tracks and slowly turned back to face her. "Didn't you tell me to name my price? Go ahead and wire me five million dollars first."

Five million?

Was her gym lined with gold?

How dare she ask for such an outrageous amount!

Seeing the sheer shock on her face, Ebony Fox smirked. "See? There really are things in this world that money can't fix."

"You—"

Annie choked on her words, stomping her stiletto. "You're price-gouging! Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

"Oh."

Ebony Fox wasn't one to start trouble, but she certainly wasn't afraid of it either. Her demeanor remained totally unshaken. "Then go ahead and report me."

Annie stood frozen in place, speechless, forced to endure the humiliation of watching her walk away.

There were other clients inquiring around them, as well as the gym staff.

All of them cast bewildered glances her way.

Anyone with a functioning brain could tell she had only come here to pick a fight.

Fuming, Annie grabbed her bag and stormed out.

"Psycho."

Polly, who had witnessed the entire exchange, ran over to Ebony Fox and grumbled in annoyance, "I seriously suggest we classify Princess Syndrome as a legitimate psychiatric disorder."

"Acting like she owns the world just because her family has some cash."

Working for a living was hard enough without having to deal with brain-dead clients like her.

"But..."

Polly frowned, looking at Ebony Fox. "Why do I feel like she did that on purpose?"

"Whether it was on purpose or not, it doesn't matter." Ebony Fox handed the file to Polly, completely brushing the woman off. "If she comes back, just ask her to leave."

"Got it."

Polly nodded, then added, "Oh, by the way... Mr. Kurt asked you to come outside for a minute. He said his trunk is stuck or something."

"?"

Ebony Fox was puzzled but still walked out to the parking lot and found Kurt. "If his trunk is stuck, he should take it to a mechanic. What does he expect me to do about it?"

"Uh..."
