Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1057

"Something unique." Juniper shifted until she found the most comfortable spot against him, her voice lazy. "Let's go with iridescent black."

Shanley seriously considered it for a moment, trying to picture how an explosion could possibly look 'iridescent black.' Her mind truly operated on another level.

He picked up his phone and texted Flint: [Figure out a way to make the explosives detonate in iridescent black.]

Flint replied instantly: [Boss, who are you blowing up?]

Shanley: [Juniper is blowing up my base. It's her favorite color.]

Flint: [...]

Flint stared at his phone, his brain short-circuiting for a solid minute before he finally typed back: [Understood, Boss. I'll get on it immediately.]

Letting his girlfriend blow up his own syndicate's base, and even customizing the explosion to her favorite color... The boss really was whipped beyond salvation.

The next day at the university.

Juniper was in the middle of a lecture when she received a text from Melvin Steele: [Come to this address after class. Your old man is here too.] He dropped a pin for a high-end private club. They were gathering to discuss the situation with their parents. Since Shanley couldn't keep the secret from her, he figured it was time to bring the rest of the family into the loop.

Juniper: [On my way.]

She tossed her phone into her backpack and was cutting across the campus quad when she ran into Yolanda Sherwin and Sheryl Yardley. Seeing Juniper, Yolanda's face went pale, and her first instinct was to run.
