Chapter 884 So Dominant
Juniper smiled.
Although she was only a little older than Brynn, her demeanor and intellect were far more mature.
"Even if you were happy, you wouldn't give me the project, would you?"
"How do you know? You just want to slack off."
"Ms. Elise, you seem very hostile towards me. I want to know why. Is it because you can't stand that I'm prettier?" Juniper asked directly.
"I'm prettier than you!" Brynn emphasized.
"If that's the case, why target me? It seems like you're jealous of my looks and making things difficult for me."
"I... don't be so full of yourself. There are plenty of pretty people. Do I have to make things difficult for each one?"
"Exactly, so I want to know the reason. What did I do wrong to make you target me like this?"
"It's because you..." Brynn felt embarrassed and suddenly stopped, "Anyway, I just don't like you. Your looks just annoy me."
"Then why make things difficult for yourself? I'm leaving."
"You, stop right there! Don't leave!" Brynn was furious, "I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me."
She angrily slammed the door and went into the restroom.
"Damn it, her mouth is too sharp. Does working longer make her so great?"
"If I worked, I'd definitely do better than her. I just don't like working."
"What's so great about her? Our Elise family is richer than their Cooper family. She's just not as good as me. I'm more suitable for Anthony."
Brynn was clenching her fists and complaining when suddenly a man's figure appeared in the mirror, scaring her into a scream, "Help—"
The man covered her mouth and dragged her into a stall.
"Help..." Brynn couldn't make a sound, and the situation scared her to tears. She had never encountered anything like this before; it was terrifying.
Was her chastity going to be ruined by this man?
Help!
Someone, please save her!
Brynn's tears flowed like rain.
In her despair, the door was suddenly kicked open.
She was pulled out by Juniper, who was holding a pepper spray and sprayed it directly into the man's eyes.
The man flailed his arms in panic, like a poisoned rat.
Brynn, with tear-filled eyes, was stunned by the scene. Juniper looked so cool and domineering!
The perverted man was taken away.
Brynn cried so much that she used up half a pack of tissues, "It was so scary. I want him in jail."
"If you had come a little later, I would have been done for."
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't made me angry, I wouldn't have gone shopping and met that guy."
Juniper immediately withdrew the hand offering her a tissue, "Goodbye."
"Wait..." Brynn pursed her lips and reluctantly said, "I didn't mean it that way."
"I'm not your bodyguard, so you should thank me."
Brynn hesitated, finding it hard to say.
"Anyway, it's good you came. Otherwise, I would have... it was too scary."
"There are many perverts in this world. You can't prevent them all. You can only make yourself stronger. Avoid dangerous places and learn some self-defense skills. They could save your life."
"Have you encountered this before?"
Juniper nodded, "When I was alone in Harmony City, there were plenty of robberies and thefts."
"What did you do?"
"What else could I do? Protect myself. I know some basic self-defense, and I always carry this pepper spray, the strongest and spiciest kind. If I meet a pervert, I spray it in his eyes. Here, take it." Juniper handed it to her.
"What about you?"
"I'll just buy another one. It's essential for girls to carry this."
"Then, let me pay you."
"No need. Consider it a gift."
Brynn held the pepper spray, feeling strange. She had accepted a gift from her rival in love.
She could have bought it herself, but for some reason, she didn't return it.
Looking at it this way, Juniper was not only stronger in her career but also much better at living independently and protecting herself.
She had been protected too well since childhood, always accompanied by Eldon, so she had become someone who couldn't even protect herself—a "useless" person.
Brynn, who had lived so confidently for so many years, felt useless for the first time.
Juniper could have chosen this kind of life too, but she didn't. So the main thing was that Juniper was stronger in her mindset.
She was beautiful, capable, and independent... It was normal for Anthony to like her.
But Brynn was still a bit unwilling, "Anthony..."
"Anthony? Anthony Eilish?" Juniper quickly caught on, "Are you targeting me because you like Anthony?"
"I've known Anthony since we were kids. Isn't it normal for me to like him? Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, I haven't forgotten him for a second. I just like him," Brynn said, pouting in defiance.
Juniper felt a bit amused. So it was a love rival all along.
"Are you laughing? Are you mocking me? Do you think I'm no threat to you? Do you look down on me?"
"Not mocking, but you are no threat to me."
Brynn got angry, "What do you mean? Am I that much worse than you?"
"It's not about being better or worse. It's that Anthony and I have a stable relationship. He's very loyal to me. No one can come between us."
"Why are you so confident? As the saying goes, there's no man you can't steal, only women who don't try..."
"A homewrecker?" Juniper said with a hint of mockery, "Do you want to be a homewrecker?"
Brynn didn't respond. She wouldn't be a homewrecker, "I want to compete with you fairly. Anthony isn't married yet, so I still have a chance."
"But we're dating. So-called competition is actually interference. Morally, it's indefensible."
Brynn was left speechless by her words.
Damn it, she was only a year or two older, but she spoke like an elder, and she couldn't refute her. It was really infuriating.
"However, even if you try, Anthony won't like you. So, you're just humiliating yourself. I advise you not to do it. A girl's reputation is very important. Take care of yourself. I'll take you to catch a ride."
Brynn felt a bit angry, "I don't need you to take me."
"Aren't you worried about another incident?"
"I have pepper spray."
Juniper smiled, "I'll take you anyway."
Brynn didn't say anything.
It was strange; why couldn't she refuse Juniper? It was like she always listened to her.
So awkward.
