Alex, with a cold snort, placed his hand on the steering wheel, pressed the gas pedal, and drove off.Outside, the wind was gusting, and Candice felt a chill. She attempted to close the window, but Alex objected."Keep it open! I can't bear the smell of alcohol on you."Despite being slightly drunk,
Upon their arrival in Noxville, a representative from their business partner was already waiting for them at the airport since early morning.For several years now, Alex had been accompanied by Candice on these business trips. Thus, the representative immediately approached them and gushed over them
Candice paused briefly before asking, "You took that picture?""It was just an impulsive click," he admitted, feeling a bit ashamed.He knew it was an invasion of Candice's privacy, especially after witnessing Alex escort her from the private room later that night. At the time of posting, he had not
Kayla was reluctant to give her consent.Everyone at Aether Corporation knew about the relationship between Candice and Sonia, yet this fact did not seem to trouble Candice as she collected the papers and headed upstairs.She was lucky. Sonia and Julie were in the restroom when she arrived upstairs,
Candice was still dazed and anchored to the ground when Sonia arrived.Sonia appeared to be feigning innocence but was actually prying. She approached Alex and asked, "What were you both discussing? I saw you together earlier."Alex's response was nonchalant, "Nothing important."He quickly diverted
Alex hesitated before raising his hand, giving Marc a cool glance. He snatched up the glass of wine that the waiter had just handed him and said, "I don't know."Marc murmured in slight disappointment, "I see..."Sieg, enjoying the scene, elbowed Marc and teased, "I didn't realize you were so ambiti
His warm breath tickled Candice's neck as he spoke, and she tilted her head to the side in response.However, his hand firmly gripped Candice's wrist, trapping her in his arms. She experienced a cold sensation on her neck as his kisses trailed up to her ear.Candice's ears were particularly sensitiv
Although her voice was soft, Alex and Sonia overheard her words.Alex stopped in his tracks.Unaware of this, Candice entered the car with Jackson, still clutching the ceramic figure he had given her.Jackson smiled and added, "I thought you wouldn't be interested in these things since many people f
After moving to Marina Bay Villa, Alex almost never worked overtime. Every day, he would appear at Ya Development, waiting for Candice to get off work. As for the BMW he gave Candice, it was left mostly unused.The few ladies in the company were familiar with Alex and were extremely envious of Candi
For the next few days, Candice brought lunch to Alex, even though it was all prepared by Alex.Candice found it a bit bothersome, but Alex seemed to enjoy it. It just so happened that both she and Yana had been meeting clients in the same area lately, so it was convenient to fulfill Alex's little wi
Alex mentioned someone having their eyes on him, and Candice hadn’t thought much about it at first. But later, she realized it was true when she saw a photo Kayla sent her. It showed a young, pretty woman with Sawyer, who seemed quite respectful toward her. What caught Candice's attention the most
Alex's expression was gloomy as he stared at the necklace. "What’s with this gift? She’s a kid. What if she swallows it? It's a choking hazard! Let’s return it."Candice calmly took the necklace and placed it back in the box. She said to Ellis, "We'll give it to you when you grow up."Ellis, innocen
When Sieg called Alex to invite him for a drink, Alex was shopping for Ellis’s clothes with Candice. He had several little dresses draped over one arm as he dutifully assisted Candice.Sieg's voice was loud, causing Candice to pause in her selection of clothes and turn to Alex. "If you have somethin
Candice was brought back to Alex's own home. She felt like a puppet with no thoughts of her own and could only follow Alex's lead. Her mind was blank, and her body was weighted down as if filled with lead.Alex guided her into the study. "I wasn't planning on showing you this so soon, but after try
Candice felt nothing. She asked with a stiff tone, "If I do what you say, will you stop following me around and stop targeting Hanley?"She had to admit that she had invested too much time in Alex; she was once innocent and carefree, but she was just confused now. Recalling the past, Candice felt n
Looking at the lemon candies on the table, Candice blinked in slight confusion as she looked up at Hanley.Hanley remained composed. Noticing Candice's gaze, he locked eyes with her and pursed his lips slightly when he caught the worry and guilt in her eyes.After a moment, he said, "You can tell me
Candice had always known that Alex had a sharp tongue, but she never expected him to use Hanley's mother to jab at his wound.They all knew that Hanley had gone abroad this time because his mother was not doing well.She trembled slightly, but she was unsure if it was out of anger or if she was remi
