Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1680

"Will that actually work?"

Kurt looked down, glancing at his eight-pack abs beneath his shirt, his brows pulled into a tight frown.

"Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try." The assistant crouched beside Kurt, lowering her voice. "I heard one of the reasons Ms. Payne fell for Mr. Schwartz was because of his incredible body."

Love at first sight? Usually, it's just pure physical attraction at first sight!

"If the younger sister is like that, the older sister shouldn't be much different, right?"

Kurt chewed on the assistant's words, his heart hammering wildly against his ribs.

Ebony Fox was always so proper.

Every time they talked, she was so detached she practically seemed ready to swear off all earthly desires.

"Then I'll give it a shot."

Kurt swallowed hard, checked the time, and muttered, "Let me make her lunch first. She didn't even eat breakfast."

——

Two hours later.

Three exquisite dishes and a bowl of soup, complete in color, aroma, and taste, were set on the table.

"Ebony Fox is heading this way." The assistant stood by the door keeping watch. "If she sees you, will she get mad?"

"She will!"

Kurt wiped his hands clean, speaking unhurriedly. "If that shameless Xavier Saxon can use the excuse of being a client to come back here, then so can I."

"Uh."

The assistant scratched her head, mumbling under her breath, "From what I saw, Ebony Fox was pretty polite to Mr. Saxon. But when it comes to you..."

He was her best friend's brother-in-law, technically making him off-limits.

If she got angry, she would legitimately beat him half to death.

Just as her words faded.

Footsteps echoed from the doorway, and Ebony Fox appeared in the breakroom, locking eyes with the person inside.

She frowned, irritation seeping into her voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Cooking for you." Kurt didn't try to hide it. Just like he used to, he casually set out the silverware and served the rice and soup. "I made a tomato and egg scramble today. Give it a taste."

Ebony Fox didn't move. She stared at him with flat eyes, her tone glacial. "If I recall correctly, I fired you. You're no longer an employee of this studio, so you don't need to cook for me anymore."

"I know."
