Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1548

"I like how innocent, bright, and lively you are..."

Kian's brain spun rapidly as he forced out a few adjectives.

Janet's expression turned even sourer.

Lively?

What law student was lively?

See?

He didn't even know her, so how could he talk about liking her?

Mr. Schwartz understood her cousin completely, which was why he loved her so much.

"I'm sorry, Kian, but I don't want to date right now." Janet refused politely.

"That's okay, I can wait for you."

Kian reached out to touch her hand, but Janet dodged him just in time.

"Kian, I've made myself very clear."

Janet's eyes flashed with displeasure, clearly resistant. "I hope you won't waste your time on me in the future."

"I don't think it's a waste of time at all." Kian pretended not to understand, keeping up his smile. "Was I too sudden? Is it hard for you to accept?"

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful from now on. Janet, I just hope you'll give me a chance."

"Ah, no..."

Janet opened her mouth to argue, but Kian's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it, hung up, and said to Janet, "Alright, you're busy today. Let's make it another time."

With that.

Kian waved at her and turned away.

Out of Janet's sight, he returned the call, smiling like a sleazebag: "Hey baby, miss me?"

"I was busy with my studies just now, of course. I'll come over and keep you company now, be good."

—

Janet walked with her head down. She felt like she had been perfectly clear, but Kian just didn't seem to get the message.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, she suddenly crashed into a wall.

"Oof—"

"Is there a problem?" Melvin peeled a shrimp for her, a faint smile on his lips.

A huge problem.

Janet said, "I'm only a freshman. There's a lot about the law I don't know yet."

"I just started my company and don't have enough capital to hire a legal advisor." Melvin popped the shrimp into her mouth, looking pitiful. "Just consider it a huge favor for me."

"But..."

"I know you've already finished reading a ton of law books," Melvin added. "A new company won't have any major issues, just reviewing small contracts. If we run into anything too hard, I'll ask Juniper for help."

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing Janet hesitate, Melvin added, "It's fine. I'll just go beg someone else."

"Though the pay is low, so I doubt anyone else will want it..."

"I'll do it."

Janet quickly agreed. "I can help you look over contracts in the beginning, and once things pick up, you can hire a proper legal advisor."

Her cousin and his family had been so good to her; how could she not lend a hand when he needed it?
