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
Alex glanced at her right hand in one moment before averting his eyes, and then said, “I’ll give you three minutes. Come with me to see our prospective partner.”Candice looked at Sonia before asking, “You’re not taking her?”Everyone heard what Nina had said in the meeting room today, but Candice d
The moment was getting somewhat awkward. Sonia didn’t dare to even raise her head, knowing that Ava was an important client of the company’s Stugan City branch. The main reason Alex came here was to sign the contract with her.Alex closed his eyes, his thoughts concealed. Meanwhile, Nina smiled as t
“Helen said that Ms. Candice is someone that you personally trained. She should be able to handle the matters in Stugan City, correct?”Candice didn’t expect that Ava would shift the topic of conversation to her. But she could tell by Ava’s cool expression that if Alex left, they could no longer be
Even when Candice had reached the hotel, she wasn’t feeling any better. That was why she didn’t notice the atmosphere between Alex and Sonia.After letting them know, she then returned to her own room. She didn’t switch on the light and sat in the room for a long time. Then she gave Yvonne a call.Y
He nodded and just wanted to say something when his phone lit up.Sonia glanced at it and said, “You have a message, Alex.”But before she could even finish, Alex had already grabbed the phone and looked at the screen. He then said with a deep voice, “You should go to bed soon.”Sonia looked at him.
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
