Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1785

"Mhm."

Kurt's smile was rich as he murmured, "Not only do I know that, but I also know you're thinking about me. You miss me a lot."

"I absolutely do not."

Ebony Fox snorted coldly, firing back, "Stop flattering yourself."

"You don't believe me? Touch your heart. Is it beating?"

Ebony Fox actually touched it before realizing a second later that if it wasn't beating, she'd be dead.

That bastard.

"Don't hang up."

Knowing he had annoyed her, Kurt hurriedly apologized. The man knew when to yield. "Let's do a video call. I want to watch you sleep."

"No."

"Please." Kurt begged, "I promise I won't make a sound. I have to get up for work in three hours, so I won't bother you for long."

"Ebony Fox~"

"Ebony Fox~~"

"Ebony Fox~~~"

Unable to withstand his relentless wheedling, Ebony Fox was forced to turn on her camera, glaring at him in exasperation. "Fine, look. Get a good look."

On the other end of the screen.

Kurt was in his pajamas, the collar undone, a radiant smile plastered across his handsome face.

Ebony Fox took one glance and instinctively looked away.

The bastard.

He was even trying to seduce her now.

After her shower.

Ebony Fox returned to bed to find the video call still connected.

Kurt was already up, dressed in a black windbreaker and a baseball cap.

Beneath the brim of the hat, his features were sharp and remarkably handsome.

"Go to sleep. I have to get to work. I won't bother you anymore."

"Working at 5:30 AM?" Ebony Fox was surprised for a moment.

"The weather has been unpredictable lately, and the partners specifically requested this."

Kurt spoke softly. "We have to test under all conditions."

Only after starting to work did he realize how tough managing a company actually was.
