Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1691

Inside the office.

Ebony Fox shut the door, braced one hand against the counter, and pressed her right hand over her heart, taking small, measured breaths.

The girl Kurt Schwartz liked was actually her?

What kind of chaotic mess was this?

If his mother or the Schwartz family found out, they’d break his legs.

After all, she was so much older than him.

She had always thought she genuinely just saw him as a friend.

This was a relationship with no possible happy ending.

Despite her shock.

Ebony Fox forced herself to calm down and dialed her assistant. "Tell those two I have something to do this afternoon. They can head back for now and come another day."

"Got it." Her assistant hesitated before asking softly, "Are you okay?"

"What could be wrong?" Ebony Fox countered, her tone so indifferent it lacked any emotional ripple.

"That's good." The assistant hung up guiltily, her mind buzzing.

She truly lived up to her reputation as Ebony Fox—staying so calm even after a confession.

Hanging up the phone.

The assistant perfectly relayed Ebony Fox's message.

"Understood." Xavier Saxon, who had just finished getting beaten up, slowly took off his gloves.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Kurt, "See? After confessing, Ebony Fox doesn't even want to see you."

"How do you know she's not just shy and embarrassed to face me?"

Kurt sneered in rebuttal.

"You really are full of yourself." Xavier obviously didn't buy it. Would a woman who could kill a tiger bare-handed be shy?

"If your skin is that thick, what's wrong with me having a little confidence?"

Kurt tossed his wristbands back into the basket, twisted open a bottle of water, and took two gulps. "Just wait. I'll definitely win her over."

"Looking forward to your good news." Xavier kept his face expressionless and strode away.

The training ground fell quiet.
