As Candice left, she could sense eyes on her, but she didn't know if it was Darius or Alex.As soon as she entered the elevator, Barox asked her, "Did I not perform well just now?"Candice glanced at him. "Perform? What are you talking about?""Yana told me to be on guard against Alex. Should I have
Mr. Franklyn smiled and said, "Candice just told me that Burning Star wants to participate in the Redshade tender. Maybe your company, Aether, and Burning Star can cooperate again.""Is Aether also participating?" Candice asked. "The Redshade tender not only involves design firms but also investors.
Angela was stunned, a moment of confusion flickering across her face. "Darius's father?" She shook her head. "Most of us don’t know much about Darius's family matters. I doubt Ella knows either, but judging by his character, I imagine his family situation isn't great."Ella.Although Candice's expre
Darius stood by the green plants against the wall. He was barely in his twenties, and despite his cold demeanor, his face still carried a hint of youthful vigor. The warm light in the corridor illuminated him, making his eyes, similar to Candice's, appear even deeper.Candice's steps faltered as she
Hanley's last sentence was spoken quietly, and Candice didn't quite catch it. "What did you just say I should promise?"Hanley stood on the balcony of the villa, looking downstairs where Ryan, Nadia, and a few others were barbecuing. He paused and said, "The temperature in Solaris has dropped recent
Alex was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes.Candice looked at him, and frowned.Alex's face was pale, and there was no color on his lips. His hand was placed on his stomach, appearing to be very uncomfortable.Candice realized that Alex ha
Angela clearly did not quite believe what Candice had just said and wanted to ask further, but Yondu came over to see Candice."Mr. Franklyn wants you to come with us to the lab this afternoon,” he said. “There's some data that Hanley asked for. Go pick it up."Candice nodded in agreement, then turn
The laboratory was a large flat which had been modified. It was about a hundred square meters. With the flashlights of two cell phones, the only illuminated area was around the table.Everywhere else was still dark.Candice's breathing sped up. She clutched the coat Alex had thrown to her, trying to
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
