Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1672

"Is there something you need?"

Ebony Fox stared at him in confusion, her expression cool and her tone entirely flat.

"A new restaurant opened on the north side of the city, and I wanted to invite you to dinner."

Xavier spoke with absolute sincerity. "Ebony Fox, you saved my life. You refused to accept the bracelet, so surely you won't turn down this meal too, right?"

"I will!"

Ebony Fox gripped her bag and rejected him without a second's hesitation. "I have no interest in any restaurant. Go eat by yourself!"

She didn't have much of an appetite today anyway.

"Also, I've received your gratitude. There's no need to go to any more trouble."

Just as she finished speaking, her assistant drove up and waved at her. "Ebony Fox, get in."

"Goodbye."

Ebony Fox offered a strictly business-like farewell and got into the car without looking back.

The assistant tactfully rolled up the windows.

Before Xavier could say another word, she slammed her foot on the gas.

The car sped off into the distance.

Xavier stood there holding the flowers, his carefully styled hair blown into a messy disarray by the car's exhaust.

It didn't matter.

He had plenty of energy and time. He was confident he could win Ebony Fox over.

"Who taught you to drive like that?"

Ebony Fox turned her head, staring at the assistant with a frown.

"Kurt Schwartz," the assistant answered guiltily. "I'm sorry, I'll be steadier next time."

Kurt?

It had clearly only been a day since she last saw him, but it felt like ages.

Hearing his name again somehow left a hollow feeling in her chest.

"Just keep driving," Ebony Fox said, dropping the subject.

"Got it."

The assistant nodded obediently. After slowing down, she couldn't help but ask, "Ebony Fox, you barely ate anything for lunch today. Do you want to go grab a bite?"

"No need."

Ebony Fox closed her eyes and murmured, "Just take me home."

"Alrighty."

The assistant didn't dare ask more and safely dropped Ebony Fox off at her house.
