Chapter 106


    Candice felt her back freeze. When she looked back, it was indeed Sonia.


    She was alone, and it was not known where Alex was.


    The moment Sonia saw Hanley, she was obviously stunned for a moment. She asked Candice,


    “Candice, is this your friend?”


    Candice did not expect to meet Sonia here. She felt a little ufortable. “Why are you here at the


    hospital again?”


    Sonia bit the bottom of her lip, looking fragile. “I came over for a blood test.”

    Candice did not really want to know what Sonia was doing. She just nodded and said nothing.


    “Lex went to answer the phone.” On the contrary, Sonia took the initiative to find another topic.


    In front of Hanley and others, Candice could not just ignore Sonia. She could only ask, “What’s the


    matter?”


    Sonia was stunned for a moment, then smiled. “Didn’t we agree before that you would bring your


    friends to have a meal with us when you are free? We happened to meet today.”


    After she finished speaking, she saw Alexing over.


    Alex’s eyes stayed on Candice for a moment, and then looked at Hanley.


    He sneered softly. “Friend?”


    Recalling the unspeakablements Alex made of Hanley several times before, Candice said, “He


    has work in the afternoon and doesn’t have time to eat together.”


    “Really?” Alex said casually. He paused and said, “No matter what, he’s still Jackson’s cousin.


    Jackson and I can be considered friends.”


    Candice did not expect them to have this level of a rtionship. Alex and Jackson have known each


    other since childhood. Hanley was Jackson’s cousin, so Alex and Hanley should also know each


    other, right?


    But why did Alex look like he hadn’t known Hanley before?


    Several questions shed through Candice’s mind, but she could not grasp any of them.


    When she came to her senses again, she heard Hanley’s deep voice saying. “Since we are friends,


    let’s eat


    together.”


    Hanley asked the rest of the team to have their meal on their own, while he and Alex found a hotel


    nearby.


    Candice followed behind without saying a word. Among the four people, the happiest one was


    Sonia.


    “Don’t want to eat with them?” Hanley s wed down and asked beside Candice.


    Candice shook her head. “No.”

    “But you don’t look good.”


    Candice pursed her lips and did not answer until after a while. She exined softly. “I just don’t


    have much of


    an appetite.”


    “You two are in such good spirits.” After Candice finished speaking, she heard a mocking voice


    coming from in


    front of her.


    The hotel was old–fashioned and had no elevator. To get to the private rooms, one could only take


    the stairs in


    the lobby.


    Alex stood at the corner of the stairs, looking down at Candice.


    Candice paused and heard Sonia say, “Lex, what are you doing? Can’t Candice just chat with her


    friend?”


    Alex scoffed louder, then turned around and went upstairs.


    Hanley looked at his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Candice, “Your boss has a bad


    temper.”


    It was not the first day that Candice knew that Alex had a bad temper.


    She hummed an agreement. “Don’t take it to heart.”


    ad her you


    She did not avoid anyone when she said this, was normal.


    When ordering, because Candice happened to be sitting near the door, the waiter handed her the


    menu directly.


    She lowered her head and looked at the menu, then raised her eyes to look at Sonia and Hanley,


    and asked, ” Do you have anything you want to eat in particr?”


    Hanley said, “I’m fine with anything.”


    Sonia said, “I’m allergic to peanuts.”


    Candice remembered Alex’s likes and dislikes very clearly, so she did not ask him.


    Just when she was about to order, she heard Alex say casually. “Why don’t you ask me?”
