Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1546

Kian was rendered speechless by Melvin's sarcasm, looking somewhat embarrassed.

For some reason, he felt that Mr. Steele was hostile toward him. The last time he borrowed a book, the man had just left him standing there.

"Mr. Steele?" Janet stood up as well, looking at him in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Hm?"

Melvin instantly changed his expression, offering a gentle smile and speaking softly, "I came for a training class to learn some law. I got hungry, so I figured I'd check out what's good at the cafeteria."

"It's a big table. You don't mind if I join you, do you?"

As he spoke.

Melvin simply sat himself down.

Janet blinked. Did you even need to ask if you were just going to sit anyway?!

"Of course."

Kian immediately got busy, pouring water for Melvin. "What would you like to eat, Mr. Steele? I'll go grab it."

He had been worrying about not having a chance to connect with someone from the Schwartz family.

And now.

The opportunity was right here.

"A necklace?" Melvin ignored him, his eyes landing on the jewelry box.

Even though he didn't know much about jewelry, he could tell this necklace was incredibly cheap material.

Judging by the craftsmanship, it was worth maybe 40 bucks tops.

Hah.

Trying to court a girl with a forty-dollar piece of junk? Did he think his Janet was some kind of garbage?

"Yes." Kian nodded slightly, smiling. "It's Janet's birthday next week. This is my birthday gift to her."

"It's your birthday next week?"

Melvin whipped his head toward Janet, his expression darkening further.

Oh.

He didn't even know when her birthday was.

"Perfect. My cat at home has been needing a new collar, and this looks just about right."

Melvin picked up the necklace, examining it in his hand. "How much was it? I'll pay you for it."

"Uh."

The necklace was only 25 bucks. Kian was too embarrassed to say the price, scratching his head awkwardly. "No need, no need. Since you like it, Mr. Steele, you can just have it. I'll just buy Janet another one."
