Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 377

Juniper: [Any that are particularly memorable?]

Particularly memorable? Luella had to rack her brain. She’d seen so many that her memory was getting a little fuzzy.

Wait a minute. Why was Juniper suddenly asking such a… personal question? Could it be that she wasn’t satisfied with the old man’s physique and wanted to do some comparison shopping? Or perhaps she wasn’t satisfied with his technique?

Aha! Juniper was finally seeing the light! Luella had been saying all along that Shanley was nothing but a pretty face. This was her chance to recommend some top-tier specimens.

Luella: [Oh, yes, yes, yes! There’s this one guy, absolutely gorgeous. Huge pecs, eight-pack abs.]

Luella: [And another one from Froskia Country… Juniper, I’m telling you, he’s on another level. Way better status than your old man, too.]

Using voice-to-text, Luella fired off a dozen messages in half a minute, including several unflattering critiques of Shanley’s body.

His body… Juniper snuck a glance at the man beside her. She had seen it, but not in its entirety or with much clarity. Besides, she’d never seen any other man’s body, so how could she possibly compare?

Luella: [Are we just talking chests? I’ve got photos of other parts too. High-def, just for you.]

“Juniper.” Shanley’s low, deep voice cut through her thoughts. “Is this what Luella usually teaches you?”

“Huh?” Juniper’s head snapped up, meeting his scrutinizing gaze. She felt a pang of guilt, as if she’d been caught red-handed. “No.”

“No?” Shanley leaned closer, his deep-set eyes narrowing, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

“Really,” Juniper insisted innocently. “Luella charges for these photos. A hundred thousand dollars a pop. They’re very expensive.”

Shanley’s expression darkened. “So you’d look at them if they were free?”
