Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 555

Juniper must be so jealous!

At that thought, the tension Yolanda had been holding onto for so long finally melted away.

Just as she was reveling in her triumph, her phone rang.

"Hello?" Yolanda said, quickly composing herself and forcing a sweet tone into her voice when she saw it was her broadcasting program's counselor.

"Come to my office. There's something I need to talk to you about," the counselor's voice was stern. "It's important, and we need it for next Monday. Come over right now."

Next Monday? Isn't that the freshman opening ceremony? Could it be? Did they really choose her to be the student representative and give the speech?

"Of course. I'm on my way," Yolanda said, her heart leaping with joy. She hung up and practically jogged to the office.

As she neared the corner, she overheard her counselor talking to another professor in the office.

"Shanley is coming in person?" a female professor exclaimed. "He's at the absolute top of the pyramid. Even major magazines and TV stations can't get an interview with him."

"That's right," the counselor nodded slightly. "This year's freshman representative is certainly in for a treat."

"This speech is very well-written. When are you giving it to her?"

"In a little while," the counselor replied.

Shanley? Yolanda froze, recalling a fleeting glimpse she’d caught of him from a distance at the Schwartz family matriarch Hannah’s birthday banquet long ago. His posture, his profile, his aura—he put most of the popular male celebrities to shame.

She thought he might have a girlfriend... but that didn't matter. As long as he wasn't married, everyone had the right to pursue their own happiness.

Perhaps if she performed well at the ceremony, she could capture his attention. Then, she'd climb the social ladder and become his wife, leaving Juniper so far behind she couldn't catch up even on horseback.

Just the thought of it made her future seem incredibly bright.
