Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 803

Everyone liked to look at beautiful things… Fine. If Celine really was falling for the doctor, he’d just have him killed after she was cured.

After leaving the pier, Juniper noticed someone was tailing her as she walked away.

That bastard Warren actually dared to have her followed? Son of a bitch. Celine must have been blind to marry him.

Juniper ducked into a narrow alley and, with a few quick turns, easily shook her tail.

What amateurs! Juniper raised an eyebrow and headed to the designated meeting point to rendezvous with Shanley.

“Juniper…” The moment he saw her, he strode forward, his steps slightly unsteady, and pulled her into his arms. “Any later and I was about to set off ‘fireworks’ over Liberty Island.”

“Let’s not pollute the environment,” Juniper said, letting him hold her. She blinked. “Let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Shanley’s lips curved as he led Juniper to the car.

“Boss, Ms. Payne…”

Seeing Juniper’s disguise, Felton and Flint still felt a shiver run down their spines. Damn, it really looked like two men were about to get into… something.

“To the lab in the suburbs,” Juniper ordered in a low voice as she removed the mask, revealing her fair, delicate face.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Flint breathed a sigh of relief. The real Ms. Payne was back.

Even Shanley seemed to relax, subtly shifting closer to her on the seat. Once this ordeal was over, he was never letting her wear that disguise again. His heart couldn't take the visual confusion.

Inside the suburban lab, Juniper handed Celine’s blood sample to Harold Houston.

“Harold, I need all the information you can get from this sample within two days.”

“Whose is it?” Harold asked, confused.
