Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 623

"Oh?" Juniper looked up, blinking her beautiful eyes.

"He gave us all another raise," Dana said, her smile so wide it nearly reached her ears. "And it was a generous one, too."

Juniper paused for a moment, then it dawned on her. Was he really that happy over a simple kiss?

"I see. I'll go up and see him."

After changing her shoes, Juniper headed upstairs. As she reached the study, she heard Shanley's voice. "How are things going with Demon?"

The door was open, and Shanley stood by the window with his back to her. The warm sunlight bathed his figure, making his already tall frame seem even more imposing. Juniper found herself staring, momentarily lost in the sight. He was quite a handsome man.

"Did you mention the price?" Shanley continued, unaware of her presence. "Whatever he asks for, we'll accept."

"He doesn't have to play. He just needs to meet with Juniper."

"Yes, Juniper is his fan."

Listening to him, Juniper had to suppress a laugh. She was her own fan? If Shanley knew the truth, the look on his face would be priceless. But... it was true that after leaving Neverfall Navigators, she had never planned on going back.

"That's all." Shanley ended the call and turned around, his eyes meeting the young woman's face. He was slightly taken aback. "You're back."

He walked over to her, bending down to look into her eyes.

"Yeah." Remembering the morning's kiss, Juniper felt a little awkward. "I'm going to take a shower," she mumbled.
