Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1655

Ebony Fox was only reimbursing one ticket. If Kurt came along…

She’d have to book two. How was she supposed to explain that?

She was just a recent college grad; she didn’t have the cash to front a plane ticket!

“I’ll cover the flights,” Kurt said smoothly. “And didn’t you mention having your eye on a new laptop last time? A friend of mine is closing up his shop and has a few brand-new ones left. I’ll have one sent over to you.”

“Really?!”

The girl practically shrieked. “Oh my gosh, I couldn’t possibly—hahahaha.”

“Alright, enough.” Kurt winced at the noise. “Send me the flight details. Once I book the tickets, I’ll come find you.”

“You got it.”

The assistant immediately forwarded all the information and happily started packing her bags.

Not long after.

She received the brand-new laptop via a same-day courier service.

“Wow, wow, wow.”

Hugging the laptop to her chest, the assistant took a deep, dramatic sniff.

Exactly.

The smell of money.

She never imagined she’d score such a massive perk just by knowing Mr. Schwartz.

There really were good people left in this world.

—

The Schwartz estate.

Monique sat gracefully on the sofa, sipping her tea while a private investigator delivered his report.

“About an hour ago, your son purchased a laptop and had it delivered to a young woman. She’s a staff member at Fox's Den Boxing Gym.”

“A staff member?” Monique froze, her brows pulling together tightly. “Did you look into her background?”

“She’s twenty-three, recently graduated from college. Her family background is extremely blue-collar. She has three younger brothers, all still in school. She put herself through college using student loans…”

“That’s enough.”

Monique cut the investigator off, rubbing her temples in profound irritation. “How on earth did Kurt fall for a girl from a family like that?”

First of all, she was a year older than Kurt.

And with that kind of baggage?
