Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1675

That applied to objects, and it certainly applied to people.

If word got out that she had failed at this setup and Kurt had rejected her, she wouldn't have the face to show herself in their elite social circles.

Therefore.

She absolutely refused to fail.

Once she found out who this other girl was, she wasn't going to let her off easy.

——

Meanwhile.

Ebony Fox found the right private room and pushed the door open, freezing slightly in surprise. "Why is it you?"

"Ebony Fox, we meet again." Xavier Saxon stood up, offering her a warm smile. "I'm the director in charge of this upcoming event."

"Are you kidding me?" Ebony Fox scowled at him, displeased. "I really don't have the time to play games with you."

With that, she turned on her heel to leave.

"Ebony Fox." Xavier immediately chased after her, stepping in front of her to block her path, looking a bit sheepish. "You refused to see me, and you wouldn't answer my calls. I had no choice but to reach out to you this way."

"What do you want from me?" Ebony Fox was utterly exasperated. "I've already said everything there is to say."

Just then.

Kurt stepped out of the restroom and happened to spot the two of them tangled in an argument.

At first, he thought it was just a couple bickering, and he couldn't care less.

He took two steps forward—

Suddenly realizing something, he stealthily backed into the shadows of a corner.

Wasn't that Ebony Fox and Xavier Saxon?

Before Kurt could fully process it, he heard Xavier speaking with heightened emotion, "Ebony Fox, I've missed you so much."

"Why did you need to see me?" Ebony Fox asked, completely stone-faced.

"Because I..." Xavier curled his fingers into fists. Staring directly into her eyes, he enunciated every word, "Because I like you, and I want to pursue you. Will you let me?"

"?"

Ebony Fox froze in place, momentarily losing all capability to react.

"Because she doesn't like your type." Kurt's face darkened, his tone dipping as his hostility surged. "She clearly didn't even want to see you, yet you keep pulling all these tricks to get close to her. You even used her work to put her in an awkward position."

No one understood better than he did just how seriously Ebony Fox took her work.

That verbal strike hit Xavier right where it hurt.

"I..."

Xavier wanted to argue, but Kurt was entirely right.

"I had no other choice." Xavier let out a sigh, speaking with humble sincerity. "I've loved her for years. I had to make myself better, make myself stronger, just so I could finally have the courage to stand beside her."

"I know I rushed things, but it's only because I care for her so much."

"Listen, Kurt."

Xavier looked at Kurt, emphasizing every syllable. "You're still young, and you've never been in a real relationship. You definitely don't understand what it feels like to love someone so much that it drives you insane."

"How do you know I don't understand?"

Kurt took a step forward. Though they were of equal height, and Kurt was younger, his aura didn't lose an inch. "I have a girl I love too. And I love her so much it's driving me insane."

Xavier and Ebony Fox looked at him at the exact same time.
