Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1293

Richard: [Probably when she starts texting people all over the place to ask about it, just like you are right now.]

Luella: [??]

Richard: [The very second your friend asked if she had feelings for him, she already had her answer.]

Luella bit her lip hard.

Richard: [It's game over. Your friend has officially fallen into the ocean of love.]

Richard: [By the way, who is this guy? Do I know him?]

Luella: [You don't.]

She ended the conversation there, leaning back against the seat and staring lifelessly at the car roof.

She slapped her own cheeks lightly, staring out the window in total despair.

She was doomed.

After surviving the ruthless underworld for so many years, she was finally brought to her knees by a pretty-faced actor.

Thank god he hadn't caught on. If a straight guy thought another guy was in love with him, he'd probably die of fright.

The thought actually brought her a weird sense of relief.

Once the business partnership was fully sorted, she needed to catch the first flight back to Stellara Country.

She couldn't afford to be anywhere near Jimmie anymore.

If she stayed around him too long, she wouldn't be able to control herself, and who knew what kind of disastrous things she might end up doing.

***

Two days later.

Jimmie was discharged from the hospital and returned home to recover.

Juniper and Shanley came over specifically to check on him.

"Just the two of you?" Jimmie glanced behind them, a slight frown forming.

"Who else?" Shanley set down the bags he brought, looking the injured man up and down. "Everyone else is tied up with work. They'll stop by later."
