Chapter 75


    “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 that were


    holding Candice. He walked over to Sonia and asked, “Why are you here?”


    “…” Sonia nced at Candie and then saw Alex frowning. Her eyes were red as she sobbed, “I


    have some vacation days left, so I wanted toe over and apany you, but…”


    She extended her hand and grabbed Alex’s clothes and would nce at Candice every once in a


    while, as if


    she had suffered much.


    Sieg, who was at the side, interrupted them and said. “When I said I wasing yesterday, Sonia


    said that she wanted toe immediately.”


    He then teased Alex and said, “You must be having a great time, right? This is such a great


    surprise! Your girlfriend traveled all the way here to visit you.”


    Alex didn’t answer him and simply took the luggage from Sonia’s hand and said in a deep voice, “I’ll


    take you


    upstairs to rest.”


    Sonia’s eyes were still red as she looked at Alex.


    Alex paused and said, “We’ll talk when we’re upstairs.”


    The vibe between them was loving, as if they had forgotten that Candice was nearby.


    It was not until Sonia passed by that Candice greeted her with a stiff voice. Only then did Sonia


    acknowledge


    her presence.


    She watched as Alex considerately took Sonia’s luggage and suddenly felt a difort in her wrist.


    She guessed it had to have happened when she subconsciously resisted being in Alex’s arms,


    causing her hand to press against his chest.


    Since Sonia was here, Candice thought that given Alex’s personality, he would tell Sonia to follow


    him after


    that.


    But surprisingly, when it was lunch, Alex then called her down.


    “Ms. Renault,” Sonia said with a sweet smile. But if one were to take a more careful look, one would


    notice


    that her makeup was lighter, and her essories were much more valuable. She also looked much


    more


    mature than before.


    From the looks of it, Alex had probably exined everything.


    When Candice looked around and didn’t see Alex, she nodded and asked, “Isn’t Alex around?”

    “He’s on a call” Sonia said as she scanned Candice, with a curious look in her eyes.


    Candice had nothing much to say to her in the first ce. She then pretended not to see her


    curiosity and simply looked at her mobile.


    However, Sonia had something to say. She faintly called out to Candice, and she raised her head.


    “What is it?”


    “Alex…” Sonia lowered her head and said before a slight pause. “Is he doing alright during this


    time?” Candice looked at her, but there was no doubt that she was trying to check on him with this


    question.


    To find out if Alex had been together with another woman at this time.


    Or to make it easier to see if she had anything with Alex again.


    Candice then said to her with a cold expression, “You should ask him directly.”


    Sonia was bing somewhat awkward, but she was still trying to make up an excuse. “He won’t


    tell me if he’s not doing well.”


    Despite saying that, her eyes had always been with Candice.


    It was obvious that Sonia was very suspicious of Candice.


    Candice looked down. Just as she had wanted to say something, she then saw Alexing from


    the outside.


    His eyes nced at Candice before frowning again. “You haven’t called for a cab yet?”


    “Ms. Renault just came down too. She probably hasn’t had the time yet.” Sonia immediately held


    Alex’s arm and spoke up for Candice sweetly.


    Alex then said in a dispassionate tone, “Are you going to call it now?”


    Candice’s hand paused. She was supposed to be on leave today as well, but Alex must have


    forgotten.


    She pressed her lips and said nothing, then followed them to the branch.


    Mr. Welch was already waiting outside the door. When he saw Alex, he greeted him with a smile.


    “Mr. Elysian, Ms. Burgess is already waiting inside.”

    After he said that, only did Candice notice that she hadn’t seen Nina today. She thought she was


    still at the


    hotel.


    Alex said nothing and simply walked in.


    Sonia then walked next to Candice and asked, “Ms. Renault, who’s this Ms. Burgess?”


    Who else?


    There was already an answer in her mind, but she still said, “A work partner.”


    Sonia heaved a sigh, but before she could even feel at rest, she saw Nina waiting in the meeting


    room.


    Nina nced at Sonia before moving her sight to Candice. “You’re willing toe to work today?


    How rare.”


    Candice’s hand was still injured and hadn’t recovered. While she was already quite upset with Nina,


    she


    remainedposed and put the documents in front of Alex. She then said, “I am Mr. Elysian’s


    secretary. This is my job.”


    Nina sneered and said, “Normal people can’t afford to have a secretary like you.”


    Candice knew she was talking about what had happened earlier, but Sonia didn’t.


    She looked at Candice and Nina suspiciously before walking over to Alex’s side and said, “Alex, I


    don’t want to bother you. I’ll wait for you outside.”


    Alex looked up and then gave a document to her. “No need.”


    And then, he looked at Candice and said emotionlessly. “You may leave.”
