A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 99

The structure of the building was completed and the interior was under renovation.

Workers and ladders could be seen everywhere and everyone was busy with their own tasks.

When Rickard walked over, he saw Hesper in a red dress pointing around a ladder. The bright color

made her look so stunning, her dark hair fell behind her shoulders and she was even prettier than

before.

Suddenly, the man who was on the ladder accidentally kicked a can of paint over, and the white paint

spilled downward-

“Watch out!”

Rickard yelled out and rushed over to grab her, using his back to block the paint from her.

Hesper immediately shoved him away after he hugged her. “Who says you can hug me!”

Rickard didn’t expect that, so he stumbled backward. That was when Hesper saw what was on his

back and was stunned.

“Are you alright, Mr. Duval?”

Benji rushed over and when he saw what Hesper did, he said, ” Mrs. Duval, Mr. Duval was just trying to

save you. If he didn’t shield you, you would have been drenched.”

“I don’t need you to jump in.” Rickard frowned. It was by instinct

that he saved her, so there was no need to ask for her gratitude.” I came here because I need to speak

to you. Can I have a word with you?”

If all that didn’t happen, Hesper would have rejected him, but seeing how his back was soaked by

paint, she nodded.

They both went into the CEO’s office, which was already

completed. Benji went to the mall to get him a shirt to change

into.

While waiting, Hesper thought that it was funny that the room that she would be using in the future was

already used by

Rickard first. Was it fate?

“I’m ready.” The man’s voice was heard from behind her. Hesper turned around and saw that he was

already in a fresh white shirt. All he needed was to clean up and he already looked like a rich

man.

Rickard had always worn dark colors and rarely wore anything so pale. He looked so different with

what he was wearing now.

However, Hesper wasn’t in the mood to appreciate any of that, so she calmly raised her chin. “What do

you want to talk about?”

“Did you do something to Juniper’s face?”

Even though she guessed why he was there, she still thought that it was funny when she heard it from

him.

“Did you put yourself in danger to come to see me about that?”

Rickard ignored her tone and said in a serious tone: “What did you give to her? Is there an antidote?”

“Don’t worry, I just want her to look ugly. She won’t die.”

“What about an antidote?”

“There is no antidote.” Hesper was honest. That pill was

developed by Julian and Professor Miles. It was a prank, but it turned out to be effective. She went to

their lab and got a few before she came back, just in case she needed them.

Rickard thought she was lying, so he frowned. “Enough. Juniper is the only descendant of the Wight

family, so they wouldn’t just let her be hurt without doing anything. If the Wights start

attacking you, you-”

“Don’t exaggerate.” Hesper cut him off. “Do you really care about me, or are you worried about Mrs.

Wight’s daughter? I think you know the answer.”

Rickard looked surprised.

Hesper thought it was funny because she did so much to make him happy in the past, and that

included finding out more about his past. She knew about the help that Mrs. Wight gave to him.

“If you already know that, then you know that I have to get the antidote no matter what.”
