Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1728

Just as Polly's imagination ran wild, her messaging app chimed.

Kurt was video-calling her to go over the arrangements for lunch.

Ebony Fox still wasn't feeling 100%, so she was not to have anything spicy, and Polly needed to make sure she didn't drink anything too cold.

On the screen.

The teeth marks on Kurt's chin were even more obvious than the cut on Ebony Fox's lip.

Polly: "!!!"

The progress wasn't just fast; it was intensely passionate.

Polly figured she would be sitting at the head table of their wedding very soon.

"You got it, Mr. Boyfriend!"

After absorbing all of his instructions, Polly skipped over to Ebony Fox with a beaming smile. "Boss, your boyfriend ordered lunch for you."

"Yeah."

Ebony Fox nodded slightly, secretly worrying if he had enough money to cover it.

After all—

Just last night, he had been too broke to even hail a cab.

"Boss..."

Seeing how serious Ebony Fox looked, Polly couldn't resist a mischievous impulse. Rising onto her tiptoes and covering her mouth, she whispered, "Did you and your boyfriend walk into the exact same doorframe? Because his chin is bruised too!"

Ebony Fox, who had been jotting down notes, nearly dropped her pen. She cast a frantic glance around the room.

Good.

No one else was around.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she lightly tapped the folder against Polly's head, frowning. "Get back to work, or I'm docking your bonus."

"Ahhh, no, please!" Polly immediately slapped a hand over her mouth. "I saw nothing! I am entirely focused on my job."

Watching her assistant hurry off, Ebony Fox couldn't stop the corners of her lips from turning upward.

A moment later, she blinked in realization.

She had been smiling a lot lately.

The Drone Startup.

Sitting at his computer, Kurt negotiated fluently in French with a potential partner.
