Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 262

Melvin was completely bewildered. What could possibly happen in a couple of days?

By the time he processed her words, Juniper was already far down the street.

Watching her go, Melvin sighed. “So cute. If only she were my sister.”

The thought prompted him to pull out his phone and message his contact at Binary Oracle.

[Any news about my sister?]

Binary Oracle: [Our boss is handling it personally. Rest assured, it won’t take more than a week.]

Less than a week? The thought of finally meeting his sister made Melvin’s heart pound with a mix of anxiety and excitement. After so many years, he should probably get her a gift, right?

He contacted his assistant. “What’s a good gift for a young girl?”

“Jewelry,” the assistant replied instantly. “There’s a brand called J-Five that’s incredibly popular with girls your sister’s age. It’s expensive, though, and quite hard to acquire.”

“Sell all my properties in Moralia,” Melvin ordered grimly. “Then contact J-Five. I want to commission a piece of their finest custom jewelry.”

As long as his sister liked it, the cost didn't matter.

...

In a car not far away, Flint was giving Shanley the scoop, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

“Boss, Ms. Payne was only with Melvin for about ten minutes,” Flint said, exhaling a ring of smoke. “She seemed normal, same as always. But Melvin... he doesn't seem to have the purest intentions.”

Even after Ms. Payne had walked a good distance away, his eyes were still glued to her.
