Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2010

Inside the Governor's office.

Jude finished reporting the remaining tasks, closed the folder, and asked cautiously, "Governor, have you proposed to Ms. Quill yet?"

"Not yet."

Channing paused signing a document, his gaze growing deep and his expression turning serious.

Even though Coralie had agreed to be with him, when it came to the actual proposal...

He still felt a bit inadequate.

Jude opened his mouth, hesitating.

So the Governor had just publicly announced they were setting a wedding date completely unprompted!

He was just hyping himself up!

"You can leave for now," Channing said casually, gesturing with his chin.

"Yes, sir."

Unable to guess what his boss was thinking, Jude obediently stepped out.

The door clicked shut.

Channing found Shanley Schwartz's number and dialed it.

"Mr. Irving?" Shanley sounded quite surprised to get a call from him.

"Mr. Schwartz," Channing said respectfully. "I have a bit of a problem. Would it be convenient to ask for some advice?"

Whenever anyone else had been chasing their wives, Shanley had always been the mastermind behind the scenes.

More importantly.

He had managed to marry Juniper Payne, that "little she-devil," so his methods had to be top-tier.

"I wanted to ask, how do you successfully propose?"

"Ah, that."

Shanley pressed his lower lip, an amused, lazy arch to his eyebrow. "The key is absolute sincerity, followed by giving her everything you own."

"Take me, for example. I transferred all my assets to Juniper, since she's a bit of a money-lover."

"They're sisters, so they probably share similar traits."

Channing's eyes darkened thoughtfully, the corners of his lips turning up slightly. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Schwartz."

"Don't mention it." Shanley drawled lazily, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I wish you luck in securing your official title soon."

"But I'd suggest you meet Ms. Quill's parents before you actually pop the question."
