Chapter 123


    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 earlier in the afternoon.”


    Candice frowned and looked at Sonia, who was looking at her sincerely. “I won’t do that again. I just


    want to know the chairman’s preferences, so that I won’t make any mistakes next time.”


    There was nothing wrong with what she was saying. As she had the correct attitude and it was


    during break time, most of the other staff were in their offices. Candice wasn’t in a position to say


    anything else.


    With a nod, she led Sonia to the balcony outside.


    Sonia listened very attentively, and Candice’s heart was quite calm as well.


    What else was there left?


    All that was happening now was Sonia simply needing one afternoon break to discover everything


    she had spent so much time and effort finding out; the preferences of Alex’s parents.


    It wasn’t so bad. She could finally let it go.


    After finishing thest bit, she looked at her phone. “Time to get back to work.”


    “Candice…” Sonia held the notebook and called out to her, her voice gentle. “You…”


    She hesitated, but didn’t continue. Candice knew what she wanted to ask. How did she manage to


    find out about Daniel and Helen’s likings in such detail?


    Candice looked at Sonia’s eyes and said, wearing the same face, “Alex didn’t tell me.”


    Sonia let out a sigh of relief. She thanked her and left with the notebook.


    Candice stood for a moment longer on the balcony.


    The balcony was shielded by a piece of ss. Candice looked down at all the cars driving in and


    out. There was peace in her eyes.


    Daniel and Helen’s preferences… Yes, Alex didn’t tell her.


    Alex was busy dealing with all the matters in Aether and his rtionship with his family was very


    bad.


    She was the fool, however. Thinking that if she could get his parents to like her, they would help


    Alex.


    That was how she found out about Daniel and Helen’s likings. All of that resulted from her failing


    again and again.

    But to Alex, he simply believed that she was using trickery.


    Candice stayed on the balcony for a while before going back. When she was working in the


    afternoon, she dealt with all the documents that she hadn’t had the time to do. Some of them had to


    go to Alex.


    She gave it a thought and called Ka. “Are you busy right now?”


    Ka said, “I need to go to the finance department. What is it?”


    Candice shook her head and personally went up with the documents.


    When she reached Alex’s office, Alex was reading some documents.


    Candice ced the documents on his table and said, “These need your signature.”


    When Alex heard her voice, he nced at her before saying, “Put them here.”


    As the documents still needed to go to the finance department and the operations department, she


    asked, “ How long?”


    Alex looked at her with his dark eyes. “I’m very busy right now.”


    “I’lle upter,” Candice said.


    Before she could turn around after saying those words, she heard Alex’s voice. “You scolded her?”


    Who else could that “her” be?


    Candice’s expression didn’t change. “Is telling the truth scolding her?”


    There wasn’t much expression in his ck eyes as he looked at Candice. “Do you even tell the truth


    anymore?”


    Candice didn’t look away and simply stared back at him. With a whisper, she said, “You simply


    didn’t believe


    it.”


    Alex said nothing, but it was clear from his expression that he didn’t believe her.


    Candice didn’t want to fight with him about something like this. She reminded Alex, “I’ll get Ka to


    come up here and get the files.” All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
