Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1565

This girl had always been the type to bottle things up. If she didn't volunteer the information, no one could pry her mouth open.

Whatever.

Melvin was coming back in two days anyway.

He was full of tricks; he could figure out how to coax her himself.

Janet and Juniper parted ways at the campus entrance.

The two headed in opposite directions, toward the School of Computer Science and the School of Law, respectively.

She hadn't walked far.

When Janet suddenly noticed the female students around her sneaking glances in her direction.

They would huddle together, whispering God-knows-what, their eyes filled with a mix of shock and blatant disdain.

Janet didn't understand what was going on, but she was so physically and mentally exhausted lately that she couldn't be bothered to care.

She hurried into her classroom.

The moment she walked through the door, the previously noisy room fell dead silent.

Everyone stared at her in bewilderment, only looking away a beat later.

Janet pursed her lips. What in the world was going on?

She only had one large lecture class today.

After class ended.

Janet went straight to the library to research for her papers, staying there until nightfall.

By the time she emerged, the sky was already dark.

She received a text message from Melvin: [I'm flying back to Eclara City tomorrow afternoon. I brought you a gift.]

Janet read the sentence over and over, thought for a moment, and replied: [Did you bring one for Juniper too?]

Melvin: [Of course. I didn't leave anyone out.]

Janet felt a sting in her nose.

Why did he bring her one?

Because he viewed her the exact same way he viewed Juniper—as a “little sister.”

Melvin: [I'll drop it off to you tomorrow.]

Janet: [Just give it to Juniper to pass along. Thank you, Mr. Steele.]

—

Another sleepless night.

The next day.

Sporting dark circles under her eyes, Janet attended her 8:00 AM class.
