Candice stood there for a while before nodding. “Understood.”She spoke emotionlessly, her lips pale. Her gaze at Alex gradually grew calm.Candice smiled and said dryly, “I’m sorry. I was overthinking.”Alex looked at his phone without caring too much.After a moment, he looked at her and asked, “D
At the time, Yvonne would always grab a plate of fruits from the cabinet for her after she heard her come home and said to her gently, “Dinner’s ready soon.”Candice’s thoughts were drifting, and she lost herself for a while. Only after sitting on the sofa for a while did she remember that she had t
Candice paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. She frowned and asked hesitantly, “I don’t think I can?”“Why can’t you?” Hanley asked as he straightened his back. “I thought you wanted to learn about exhibition planning?”Candice’s fingers curled as she looked at her arm that was bandag
However, he wouldn’t ask Candice about it anyway. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Alex?”“I don’t know,” Candice said.She really did not know where he was since she had not seen him since yesterday morning.Sieg frowned as she stared at Candice. “Why are you being so aggressive with me so early in the
“Alex?” Candice had just wanted to speak when she suddenly heard Sonia’s voice.She raised her eyes and looked, and saw Sonia was standing not far away with her luggage. Her face became pale as she looked at them.Alex was quite surprised to see Sonia there. He paused before letting go of his arms t
Candice was organizing the file, and her hand paused. She raised her eyes and looked at Alex, who had already looked away, focusing his attention on the contract in front of him.“Is it because you have something you need to pick up?” Mr. Welch said at this time. He then carefully asked Alex, “Maybe
The report was very thin, making it very easy to overlook when it’s stacked with all the documents.Sonia looked at the document that Alex had retrieved and forced a smile.“The secretaries from Aether are so interesting. You can follow your boss with this level of competence? Aren’t you ashamed of
It was very rare for Candice to be this direct. She silently grabbed her things and was going to leave.However, she could hear Sonia’s trembling voice and said, “Ms. Renault, I know you don’t like me, but...”She said nothing after she paused for a long time. Candice turned around as she calmly con
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
