Chapter 117

Candice paused and then walked in.

When Alex heard Kayla calling out, he turned and looked.

His dark eyes glared at Candice. After a moment, he let out a sneer and said, “What took you so long?”

Candice paused and looked down before saying, “I’m sorry. This is my problem. Something urgent

came up.”

Her tone was calm, and her attitude sincere. However, Alex didn’t buy it.

He let out a cold scoff. There was even mocking in his cold eyes, and he said. “You have so many

emergencies. Last time was your mother, and who is it this time? Your father?”

Candice pressed her lips and said nothing. She quietly waited before saying, “When is the chairman

coming over?”

Alex simply looked at her and said. “You receive news quickly.”

However, no matter what he said, he still took Candice over when Daniel arrived.

Daniel had some issues with Candice’s origin, but he acknowledged her skills.

And for Candice to be able to leave a good impression on Alex’s parents, she learned a lot about

Daniel and Helen’s likes and dislikes.

So when Daniel came, Alex would always let her take care of him.

Sonia was there too, but she didn’t dare to show herself too much. She still remembered Helen’s

attitude toward her.

Also. Alex had told her about it.

Sonia closed her eyes as she bit her lips.

Daniel was in his fifties. As the chairman of the Resplendence Group, the aura he had couldn’t be

compared to others.

His sharp eyes glared at Alex, his tone unfriendly. “Why took you so long to deal with what happened at

the branch office in Stugan City?”

“I went to Noxville,” Alex replied, monotonous.

“Because of Golding Reeves?”

“Yeah.”

Daniel asked a few more questions before heading to the CEO’s office.

Candice followed behind them. She found a chance to report what happened at Stugan City concisely

and shortly.

Alex and Daniel’s relationship wasn’t the best. The only reason that Daniel came was because of the

relationship between Aether and Resplendence.

Because of their bad relationship, Candice had to actively play the role as mediator and find topics for

them to

talk about.

She had done this for a few years, so she was quite good at it.

However, when the elevator stopped, Daniel suddenly asked her. “You and Alex went to Stugan City

together?”

Candice paused and nodded. “That’s right.”

Daniel’s eyes fell on Candice. He had just wanted to say something when Alex suddenly said, “How

much

power do you have during our trip this time?”

Candice paused. Her expression didn’t change at all. She then said, “I’ll prepare tea for you.”

Daniel and Helen were the same. They disliked coffee and liked tea.

Candice took out a can of tea leaves and prepared it according to how Daniel liked it. She then

prepared another cup for Alex as well and was going to bring them in on a tray.

However, Julie had just filled the kettle with water and walked out. She ran into Candice from the back,

and the

cups in Candice’s hand shook, and some of them spilled on Candice’s clothing.

Candice frowned slightly and put down the tray.

A large amount of liquid was spilled. It not only splashed her attire, but given that it had just been

boiled, it

was still hot.

Julie paused, her expression fake, as she feigned a smile. “I’m so sorry, Candice. I was looking at my

phone and didn’t see you.”

“But…” She looked at the soaked part of Candice’s shirt in front of her chest. The glee in her eyes was

obvious as she asked, “Are you going to enter like that?”

Candice’s expression was stony as she looked at Julie and asked, “You did it intentionally?”

“I told you it was an accident,” Julie sneered. “Candice, don’t tell me you stayed downstairs for so long

that

you think everyone’s as low as you?”

“Candice.” Sonia’s sweet voice popped out as she smiled and told Candice. “Why don’t you change

your

clothes first?”

Candice looked at the part of her shirt that was wet. It would be quite rude indeed. She glanced at Julie

before

turning to leave.

After she left, Sonia’s soft voice rang again. “Julie, I’ll send the tea first. We shouldn’t let the chairman

wait too

long.”

Julie sneered, “An intern like you bringing tea to the chairman?”

With that, she extended her hands and held the tray.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Resplendence was so much bigger than Aether. If she had the chance to join Resplendence…

However, before Julie could even finish her thoughts, she heard Sonia’s voice again. She said, “Julle,

do you think Alex would want to see you going in?”

Her voice was very low, and her tone did not differ from usual, but Julie had suddenly awakened.

That was right…

Sonia was Alex’s girlfriend. Alex would protect her no matter what she did!

Despite having regrets, she still put the tray back. She then went back to her workstation with an icy

face.

Sonia took the tray and smiled at her sweetly. “Thank you, Julie.”

However, she thought that as Alex’s girlfriend, Daniel wouldn’t treat her like Helen did, especially when

she

was trying to impress him.

However, she didn’t expect Daniel to frown the moment he saw her when she took the tea in.

Sonia’s heart skipped a beat as she put the tray down and said, “Your tea, Mr. Chairman.”

“Where’s Candice?” Daniel glared at her icily.

Sonia’s face froze as she mumbled, “Candice had an emergency and needed to leave for a bit, and

asked me

to come in.”

Daniel’s aura was too strong. Sonia didn’t dare stay for long and quickly left after she put the tray down.

She had just left when she saw Candice come back after changing into another top.

When she saw the tea cups were all gone, she knew what had happened.

That was why she immediately walked to Alex’s office.

She also grabbed some materials so that she could pass it to Daniel later.

However, she had just reached the door when she heard a bang.

Then came Daniel’s angry voice. “Alex, when are you going to have enough of your fun? Have you

forgotten everything you promised me earlier?”

“It wasn’t enough that you had one Candice in the past, and now you want to toy with an inexperienced

intern?

I don’t care how you have your fun, but you’ll obey the family when it comes to your marriage!”

Candice’s hand was just about to push open the door, but she stopped.

Alex’s indifferent voice came out from inside. “I know.”

“You and Candice have been together for so many years. Clean it up properly. Give her more money if

that’ll do

the work,” Daniel continued. Candice listened to all of it, her mind buzzing.

How ridiculous. She gave her heart to him for eight years, but to others, he was simply toying with her

all those years. Their relationship was disposable with money.

So, what was the point of it all?

What was she supposed to be?

Candice stood in front of the office door with her eyes closed as if she had taken root. She couldn’t

budge at muscle.
