Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 829

“Really?” Tucker’s voice shot up, his excitement palpable. “I want to learn…”

He rattled off a long list of topics. These were all highly complex concepts that Juniper had always claimed were too troublesome to teach. He had finally caught his chance.

“Don’t you push it!” Juniper hissed, her grip tightening on the phone.

“The leave request!” Tucker reminded her, his newfound backbone on full display.

“Fine.” Juniper squeezed her eyes shut, finally relenting, though her voice turned sinister. “Just you wait till I get back, you old coot.”

“Heh!” Tucker rubbed his nose, hanging up the phone with a guilty conscience. As long as he got to learn something new, getting kicked a couple of times by Juniper was a small price to pay.

After hanging up, Tucker immediately wrote out the leave request for Juniper. The department administrator in charge of attendance frowned as she looked through the records. “She’s already taken leave twice in a row.”

Any more and the semester would be over for her.

“What difference does it make if she’s here or not?” Tucker muttered, stuffing his hands in his pockets and sniffing, his black-rimmed glasses sitting on his nose. “It’s not like anyone at this university can actually teach her anything.”

“You—” The administrator started to argue, but then she paused, realizing she had no counterargument.

It was true. Juniper was a gold medalist whose skills surpassed even the department head. There really wasn’t anyone there who could teach her.

“If she fails her final exams, Tucker, you’ll be the one responsible,” the administrator said grimly as she stamped the form with an official seal. Juniper had been the top scorer on the national entrance exams; countless eyes were on her. If she failed her finals… their university did not want to be in the headlines for that.

“Fail?” Tucker scoffed as he took the approved form and sent a picture of it to Juniper. He’d fail before she ever would.
