As soon as the banquet was over, Candice Renault left to pick up Alex Elysian. When she opened the door to a room, she bumped into a young girl. The girl looked clean and smart like an elf who could easily charm people. Candice had seen the girl before. She was the new intern at the Secretary's O
The next day, Candice saw Sonia again at the office but the latter was being scolded. Sonia noticed Candice as well but quickly pulled her gaze away, seemingly in avoidance. Candice paused for a moment before she headed into the CEO’s office. To her surprise, the assistant supervisor of the Secre
Candice looked at them in silence. Alex claimed that he was busy because he was staying back with Sonia. Candice took a deep breath and feigned nonchalance as she retrieved her phone. Alex and Sonia then noticed her. Sonia got nervous. “Candice, I’ll complete the task by today!” “Mhmm…” Candice
What about her? What did the eight years she had spent with Alex mean? Candice waited patiently for his answer while her breathing calmed down significantly. Alex used the same firm and composed tone when talking about Sonia to reply, "You know you are not my type.” It was true. Except for the
Alex was not close with his mother, Helen. From the first time Alex brought Candice back home, Helen had never liked her. Alex preferred some distance between Candice and his family, so unless absolutely necessary, he would never send her back to his mother’s place. Candice called Alex. He answe
Since Alex said he would bring Sonia to the party this weekend, Candice did not interfere. She compiled the information into a file, sent it to Sonia via email, and stopped asking. However, Sonia was just an intern. She had to juggle between dealing with her workload and preparing for the party, s
During the weekend, Alex brought Sonia to the party. Candice was not overly concerned but she bumped into Alex when she left the house in the afternoon. He wore a simple shirt with the collar opened, exposing his collar bones and they looked tempting. Coincidentally, Candice wore a black dress, w

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
