Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 673

Everywhere she went, people fawned over her.

Yolanda Sherwin ground her teeth in frustration as she watched a boy who had just been trying to impress her run over to fawn over Juniper instead.

So Juniper can play a video game, big deal, Yolanda thought. Recently, a film crew had come to the university to scout for talent, and they had shown considerable interest in her. It was for a reality show, she'd heard, with some very famous guests. If she could seize this opportunity, she would become a star. And then, who would even remember Juniper's name?

Besides, Ferdinand Malone, whose reputation Juniper had ruined, was already plotting his revenge. Her lucky streak was about to end.

Thinking about this brought a smug smile to Yolanda's face as she walked to class.

Meanwhile, Juniper finally shook off her crowd of autograph-seeking "fans" and sat down, replying to a message on her phone.

Juniper: [What reality show? Not interested!]

Jimmie: [The director is a friend of mine. He insisted I ask you.]

Jimmie: [Alright, I know you're not interested. I'll turn it down for you.]

Putting her phone away, Juniper headed to Professor Tucker's office. The old professor had likely pulled an all-nighter tweaking his program and had fallen asleep at his desk.

Juniper found a blanket and gently draped it over his shoulders before turning her attention to the computer screen. On it was the code he had been modifying.

"Mr. Schwartz, should I pick out a few more formal dresses for Ms. Payne? Her usual style is quite casual. Do you think it's appropriate for meeting your parents?" Dana asked cautiously, her expression serious. She genuinely liked Juniper and wanted her to make a good impression on Shanley's mother. Although Mrs. Schwartz was known to be easygoing, it was always better to be careful.

"No, that won't be necessary," Shanley replied calmly, peeling an egg for Juniper's breakfast. "Juniper will decide what she wears. Her comfort is what matters most."

"But—" Dana was still worried and was about to protest again.

"Dana," Shanley interrupted gently, looking up at her. His tone was soft but firm. "Juniper is herself first, and my girlfriend second. With me, she can do whatever she wants. And that goes for everyone else, too. She doesn't have to change for anyone, not even for me. I love her just the way she is."

"Oh!" A brilliant smile spread across Dana's face. Hearing that from him put all her worries to rest. The future lady of the Schwartz family was undoubtedly Juniper.
