Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1091

Shanley smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her, though he didn't say a word.

Ten minutes later, Juniper's phone rang. It was Luella.

"Hey," Juniper answered, putting her on speaker.

"Juniper, I've got news from Sanctum Holdings," Luella said, her tone all business. "They said they've seen Subterra Vanguard's sincerity, and their boss wants to meet you in person."

"Sure." Juniper didn't hesitate. She thought about it for a split second before adding, "This weekend. I'll pick the place."

"Where?"

"The coffee shop right next to the Schwartz Group building."

"Huh?" Luella paused, then burst into roaring laughter. "Damn, Juniper! That's brutal. Talk about adding insult to injury!"

"By the way, is the old fox around?"

"Mr. Langley, you're laughing too loud. It's giving me a headache," Shanley's cool voice suddenly cut in.

"Uh."

Luella's roaring laughter instantly morphed into a stifled chuckle. Clearly, she was still highly amused. "I'll coordinate with Sanctum Holdings. Wait for my update. Pfft, hahaha..."

The line went dead.

Shanley frowned slightly as he ended the call. Was there a pill out there? Something to make that sissy lose her voice permanently?

"Look..." Juniper rubbed the bridge of her nose, feeling a sudden wave of guilt. "I picked the cafe downstairs so I could sit there, drink coffee, and talk trash about you. It'll make Sanctum Holdings trust me more."

It was a classic winner's flex.

Honestly, if she had genuinely blown up the Sigma Network's base in the past, she absolutely would have strutted down to the Schwartz Group building for an iced latte to gloat.

"Right. I'm just a pawn in your game. I get it."

Shanley leaned back, a faint, indifferent smile playing on his lips. He looked like he'd been terribly wronged.

It was a little weird seeing him pout.
