Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 480

Back at the hotel, Juniper flopped onto the bed and yawned. “I think I’ll take a nap.”

“Tired?” Shanley sat on the edge of the bed, his thumb gently stroking her cheek. He smiled warmly. “You rest, then. I have some business to take care of.”

The Schwartz Group had operations in Moralia Country, after all.

“Okay,” Juniper said lightly, not bothering to ask for details. “Bring me back some dessert.”

“Of course,” Shanley chuckled. His little foodie was easy to please. “Go to sleep. I’ll stay with you for a bit.”

Juniper obediently closed her eyes. Ten minutes later, once he was sure she was asleep, Shanley quietly got up and left the room.

The moment the door clicked shut, the warmth vanished from his face, replaced by a chilling intensity.

“Felton, have you found him?”

“Yes, boss,” Felton replied respectfully. “It seems Specter’s visit to Moralia was unplanned, so his security wasn’t as tight as usual.”

“Get everything ready,” Shanley ordered, his pace quickening.

“Everything is in place, boss. Men and equipment are ready,” Felton confirmed. “We’re just waiting for Cybernetic Shadows to give us a final position, then we can move on Specter.”

They would catch him completely off guard.

...

Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Juniper, who had been feigning sleep, threw back the covers the moment she saw Shanley’s car pull away from the hotel. She grabbed her backpack from the sofa, pulled on a baseball cap and a mask, and headed out the door while on the phone.
