Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 864

“I saw how anxious Director Miranda was,” Jimmie said, sensing her hesitation. “This is her first show after coming out of retirement. A lot of people are saying she’s been behind the scenes for too long and can’t produce anything good anymore. If there’s a problem tomorrow and the show can’t air as scheduled, I’m afraid…”

“Fine,” Juniper cut him off, her voice low. “I’ll give it a try.”

“Great.” Having gotten her agreement, Jimmie calmly ended the call.

“Jimmie, doesn’t your conscience hurt, tricking your sister like that?” his assistant, who had been eavesdropping, asked with a twitch of his lips. “The line of people who want to be on Director Miranda’s show could stretch all the way overseas.”

The moment news of the guest’s injury broke yesterday, other celebrities had been scrambling to contact Miranda. Coincidentally, Jimmie had been near the set yesterday and immediately offered to “save the day.”

“Really?” Miranda was so surprised her phone almost slipped from her hand. Two seconds later, she composed herself. “Juniper has never liked being in the spotlight. Would she be willing to be on TV?”

“I’ll try.” Jimmie had seen the first two episodes and thought the show was interesting. More importantly, he hadn't had a chance to spend any time alone with Juniper since she came back. She was always stuck to Shanley’s side, making him wonder who the real brother was.

“If Juniper can join, that would be wonderful,” Miranda said, her eyes full of hope as she looked at Jimmie, her heart pounding with excitement. “Don’t worry. As long as she agrees to come, I won’t let her be wronged.”

Juniper didn’t have many friends; participating in a show could be a way for her to relax.

“Wronged?” Jimmie’s lips twitched into a small smile. “With that temper of hers, we should count our blessings if *she’s* not the one making others miserable.”

Miranda paused, then gave an awkward laugh. That was true. Even her own son, the “Living Devil of Eclara City” whom everyone feared, was completely tamed by her.
