Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 197

Juniper checked the time and replied: [Don't worry, I'll be there on time.]

She needed to drop off more of the old gentleman's medication anyway.

The old lady was overjoyed: [Wonderful, wonderful! I'll be waiting for you, dearie!]

Juniper: [Okay.]

After ending the chat, Juniper remembered that today was the deadline to deliver the custom jewelry. She couldn't possibly hand it to Shanley herself. If he found out that the person who'd charged him a small fortune was her... the scene would be incredibly awkward.

After some thought, she contacted her studio and had them notify Shanley that his order was ready for pickup.

Just as she sent the message, her phone buzzed again. It was Shanley: [Juniper, I'm outside the school. Usual spot.]

Juniper: [Okay.]

She grabbed her backpack and hurried out.

"Juniper!" Qadir called out, grinning as he saw her rush. He guessed it had something to do with Mr. Schwartz. Only Mr. Schwartz could make her move that fast.

"Is your brother waiting for you outside?"

At his words, Juniper stopped dead in her tracks, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qadir.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Qadir froze, unnerved by her cold stare.

"He's not," Juniper said, her lips barely moving.

Not what? Qadir was completely bewildered.

Queenie also sensed her friend's displeasure and stayed quiet, blinking curiously.
