Chapter 145
Candice’s words were quite harsh, Instantly causing Sonia’s expression to falter.
She dropped the pretense in her tone. “Candice, you shouldn’t say things like that, especially since
you’re leaving soon.”
Candice looked at her with a cold expression. Although she had been aware of Sonia’s ulterior motives
from the start, she had chosen to turn a blind eye.
But now, she lowered her gaze slightly.
However, after just a few seconds, she lifted her eyes again, staring at Sonia coldly and sharply. “Ms.
Summers, it seems you’ve misunderstood something. Leaving was my choice, not a termination forced
upon
me.”
Sonia realized she had genuinely upset Candice. She faced the sharp gaze but internally wanted to
shrink away. However, with so many people in the meeting room, she held onto her difort and
said, “Anyway, it’s still the same.”
Candice looked at her in silence for a moment, then lowered her eyes.
Perhaps she had momentarily lost her mind to even consider arguing with Sonia.
“Let’s end the meeting here. If there are any questions,e directly to my office.” She didn’t intend to
waste more time with Sonia and left the meeting room with her belongings.
Following closely behind, Ka had a serious expression. Candice knew she had something to say
and calmly prompted, “Just say what you want directly.”
“Are you really resigning?” Ka asked hesitantly.
Candice nodded. “I’ll be leaving next month.”
“Why?” Ka furrowed her eyebrows tightly.
But Candice suddenly paused. It seemed that everyone who knew she was leaying would ask her the
reason
in disbelief.
Her eyshes quivered slightly before she tly said, “I found a new job and n to switch.”
Ka clearly didn’t believe it and wanted to say more.
However, Candice had already handed her a contract. “Check this, then pass it on to HR.”
Candice spent the whole morning calmly busy in her office until she received a message from Tamia
just
before noon.
She was to prepare for an interview at HR in the afternoon.
It was an arrangement Alex had given Candice earlier to recruit a new batch of interns.

There were quite a few internsing in for the interview, grouped into threes.
Tamia greeted her, “Come on, this afternoon will be tough. We might not be done in less than three
hours.”
Candice nodded. As she was about to take her seat, she saw the meeting room door open again, and
Alex walked in expressionlessly.
She paused and nced at him.
Tamia had already stood up and asked, “Why did youe down, Mr. Elysian?”
Before Alex could speak, Sonia entered from the door.
She had a smile on her face, took small steps, and stopped next to Alex. She whispered, “I received a
call.”
Candice understood immediately. This was probably another instance of Alex bringing Sonia to “learn“.
She averted her gaze and said nothing.
Originally, the interviews were supposed to be conducted by Candice, Tamia, and another supervisor.
Candice sat on the side nearest to the door.
However, now with Alex and Sonia entering one after the other, they sandwiched her in the middle.
Candice was close to Alex, and any slight movement would bring her arm close to his.
Feeling somewhat ufortable, she whispered, “It’s not appropriate for me to sit in the middle. Since
Mr. Elysian is here, you should sit here.”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard his indifferent voice, “Not necessary, I just came to
have a
look.”
“Candice,” Sitting beside Alex, Sonia also turned to look at Candice. Her pink lip gloss made her
appear cute, carrying an air of naive innocence. “You said this morning that my abilities are insufficient,
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
so Mr. Elysian brought me here to learn about your work. Don’t worry, Mr. Elysian won’t me you.”
Whether it was about sitting in the wrong position or scolding Sonia in the morning, the exact meaning
behind
her words was hard to determine.
Candice pursed her lips, showing little expression.
It was Tamia who knew how to handle the situation. She pulled Candice and smiled, “The interview is
about to
start. You should disy the aura of Aether Corporation’s Chief Secretary and interview these young
candidates properly.”
Since Candice had been transferred out of the CEO’s office, the confirmation of the new Chief
Secretary for
Aether Corporation had not been made.
Hearing this, Sonia couldn’t help but nce at Candice again.
She had discussed this with Alex before, but he hadn’t given a clear response. Hence, internally within
Aether Corporation, it was still presumed that Candice was Alex’s Chief Secretary.

Especially during her time with Julie in the finance department, she had inadvertently heard that
Candice’s current sry was based on the position of Chief Secretary.
While Sonia was lost in thought, the interviews had already started.
Candice swiftly entered work mode, diligently reviewing the interns‘ profiles.
However, things weren’t going as smoothly as she’d hoped.
It wasn’t until thest two groups that she couldn’t help but put down her pen and let out a sigh.
It was clear she was feeling frustrated.
Sonia had left due to other matters ten minutes ago, but Alex was still present.
When Candice put down her pen, her movement identally bumped into his elbow.
She hesitated. “I’m sorry, it was unintentional.”
The new group of interviewees hadn’t arrived yet, and Tamia and another supervisor had gone out to
use the
restroom.
Alex nced at her indifferently. “Quite selective at this moment.”
Candice caught the sarcasm in his tone and paused before replying, “If you have someone you’re
satisfied
with, you can call them back.”
Alex tapped the tabletop with his fingertip and suddenly asked her, “Do you remember how you were
when you
first joined Aether Corporation?”
When Candice had initially joined Aether Corporation, she was only a sophomore. She was an
exception brought into thepany by Alex and directly put through grassroots training.
“Candice, back then, you were no better than them.” His cold, sneering voice brought her thoughts
back.
Her grip on the files tightened slightly as she spoke calmly, “So, what are you implying?”
Alex’s expression remained unchanged, his dark pupils unreadable. “Since you look down on Sonia’s
abilities so much, why not bring her to the position you’re supposed to hand over?”
Candice’s breath hitched. “I can’t mentor her.”
“That’s your problem.”
After a slow pause, she spoke in a deep tone, “I don’t want to mentor her.”
“Fine.” Alex scoffed with little emotion, his gaze fixed on Candice. He tapped on the table, his voice
heavy. somewhat casual, “If you don’t want to mentor her, find someone else to take over your
position.”
Candice remained silent. She didn’t believe Alex was unaware of the rtionship between her and
Sonia.
However, he stood up, towering over her.
In an extremely detached voice, he said, “This is your final job at Aether Corporation. Once you’ve
