Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1093

She actually dared to set the meeting right underneath her mortal enemy's headquarters. And she was casually snacking like it was a Sunday brunch.

"Of course."

Juniper leaned back in her chair, an eyebrow raised. "I just made billions off of you. I think I can spring for a few bucks' worth of coffee."

Corvus's throat tightened, his voice coming out raspy. "You're Specter?"

"Don't look like her?"

Juniper smirked, her bold red lips making her look incredibly dashing. "How was it? That fireworks show a couple of days ago was pretty good, right? I specifically asked the guys to use the iridescent black explosives for maximum aesthetic."

"Heh."

Corvus hesitated for a few seconds before the corners of his mouth ticked upward, a look of genuine amusement crossing his face.

If he had any lingering doubts about whether Specter had sent a decoy, they were entirely gone now.

The woman sitting in front of him was the true boss of Subterra Vanguard—Specter.

You couldn't fake this kind of commanding presence or that nonchalant, devil-may-care attitude without an absolute core of steel backing it up.

"I didn't expect the head of Subterra Vanguard to be a woman," Corvus remarked slowly, casually pushing the iPad aside.

"Really?"

Juniper absentmindedly tapped her fingertips against the table, her clear eyes fixed coldly on him. Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. "I didn't expect the head of Sanctum Holdings to be a man, either."

Corvus froze.

Suddenly, he was looking at the woman with a renewed sense of respect.

"Let's get to the point."

Juniper hated dealing with arrogant men and didn't bother hiding it. "You wanted to talk about a partnership. What kind of partnership?"

"Medical research." Corvus watched her reaction closely, clearly holding his cards to his chest.

"You mentioned I could make a lot of money. I want to know exactly how much," Juniper said, completely ignoring the research aspect. All she cared about was the payout.
