Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1095

Shanley let out a helpless chuckle. He gently scooped the girl into his arms, softly comforting her. "If he just handed over all his secrets, how would he stay hidden?"

Sanctum Holdings was no ordinary operation.

"I literally blew up your research base for this!" Juniper balled her hands into fists, her eyes red with frustration.

"Feeling bad for me?" Shanley immediately understood why she was so upset. He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Juniper bit her lip, refusing to say a word.

Of course she felt bad. It broke her heart. The fireworks show might have been pretty, but it cost them billions.

"If you feel that bad for me, you could always compensate me in other ways," Shanley murmured, lifting her fingers to his lips and kissing them softly, his tone loaded with implication.

Juniper stared at him blankly. "How exactly am I supposed to compensate you? Just to be clear, if you want money, I don't have a dime!"

"I don't need money. I just need you." With a slight tug, Shanley pulled her smoothly onto his lap so they were face-to-face. "Do you catch my drift?"

Juniper wasn't in the mood for his teasing. She was still fuming over Corvus.

"Look at you..." Seeing how oblivious she was acting, Shanley sighed with a smile and leaned in to capture her lips.

When it came to this sort of thing, he always had to take the lead. If he waited for this girl to initiate anything... he'd probably go his whole life without ever getting past first base.

Just as Shanley leaned in, entirely prepared to claim his 'compensation,' the girl in his arms suddenly shoved him away. She jumped up, pacing like a caged tiger.

"No! I can't let this slide. I'm going to go kill him right now."

Shanley's chin took a direct hit as she shoved him, making him wince in pain.
