Candice said to Alex, “We’re here.”However, Alex didn’t move. Because of all the wine he drank, his voice sounded raspy. “Are you in so much rush to see Jackson?”His tone was quite faint, as if there was not much emotion inside.Candice paused. “Sieg told you?”No one would monitor her like that o
“I...” Sonia bit her lips and then looked at her pitifully. “Candice, didn’t you promise you’ll tell me the chairman’s likes and dislikes?”Candice didn’t expect it to be because of this. After a moment of silence, she said, “It’s not that convenient right now.”It was still during work hours, and C
However, Candice had underestimated Sonia.She appeared in her office during the next break with a notebook in her hand.Her eyes were still red. It was obvious that she had cried.She stood in front of Candice. Her voice sounded stuffy. “I’m sorry, Candice. I shouldn’t have said something like that
-Joe had stayed in the hospital for a few days and his condition had improved a lot. At least, he could speak clearer than before.However, they still couldn’t mention Yvonne. Otherwise, he would get emotional easily.Candice had wanted to ask him a few times just what exactly Yvonne had said, but
Sonia’s face instantly turned pale as she looked at Helen, stunned.From the afternoon when she met Helen, she seemed to have mostly ignored her. At first, she thought it was just because Helen was a little cold. She didn’t expect Helen to act against her at such a time.But Candice was still here a
He had just received the gift when Sieg’s voice rang. “Candice, you’re so considerate. As expected of Aether’s ex-best secretary.”He emphasized the word “ex”, as if to remind Candice of something.Candice gave him a lazy glance and said, “Looking at how worried you are about Aether, there are proba
Sonia was a vivacious person. With Sieg by her side, she was able to blend in with ease.Meanwhile, Candice lingered on the outskirts for a short while, feeling idle. Eventually, she made her way to the grill stations, took several skewers nonchalantly, and set them on a grill.Not being a regular a
"Help! Come quickly! Sonia was hit!"There was a ruckus outside, and those inside started to head out in groups.Candice sensed a sudden chill in Alex's demeanor before he swiftly made his way outside.She chose to stay put, observing as the crowd dispersed. With so many already attending to the sit
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
