Chapter 153

Candice said, “I can call a substitute driver for Mr. Elysian. I have work to attend to at the company, so I

can’t afford any delays.”

Sawyer wanted to say that Candice driving Mr. Elysian’s car back to the company would not cause a

delay, but looking at Candice’s expression, he swallowed those words.

Since she had joined Aether, Candice had always been by Mr. Elysian’s side, handling everything

meticulously and thoroughly.

Sawyer was aware of the recent rumors in the company. He thought Candice would remain

indifferent as before.

Candice’s voice was cold. “Please make way. You’re blocking me.”

Sawyer awkwardly stepped aside, allowing Candice to get into the car. Then, he watched as she

drove away.

It was only then that he suddenly awoke from his daze. He returned to the Maybach, approached Alex,

and whispered. “Mr. Elysian, Candice has urgent matters to attend to back at the company.”

Alex remained expressionless. However, Sawyer felt that Alex’s gaze seemed colder than usual.

Back at the company, Candice related to Blue Artifact that Sonia had

not managed to organize. The process was simple but a bit tedious.

She continued organizing the materials until it was time to leave. Kayla could not help but ask.

Candice, why are you working so hard?”

The words left unspoken were that since she was resigning, there was no need to work so hard

for the company.

Candice could not explain too much to her, so she just packed up her things and stood up, saying,

“It’s not about working hard. It’s just about doing what needs to be done.”

Kayla waited for Candice to leave together. There were many people who were leaving too, and as

they entered the elevator, they saw Julie and Sonia inside.

Candice’s expression remained unchanged, but Sonia, upon seeing Candice, displayed a

somewhat awkward expression. She then moved closer to Julie and did not greet Candice as she Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

used to.

Candice ignored her attitude and chatted with Kayla about work arrangements.

However, Julle sneered. “Candice, since you are so passionate about your work, why resign from

Aether?”

The elevator was filled with people, and Julie’s voice caught everyone’s attention. The atmosphere

suddenly quieted down.

The animosity between Candice and Julie was no secret in the company, and now that Candice was

resigning. Julie felt inexplicably delighted.

Candice looked up at Julie calmly and replied. “Since you’re so concerned about me, why not

resign with me?”

Julie clicked her tongue. “Who’s concerned about you? I’m just kindly reminding you. Since you’re

going to resign anyway, why bother pretending?”

“Sonia was personally promoted by Mr. Elysian to the CEO’s office. Taking over your position is

perfectly reasonable. What’s the need for you to act like this? Do you still plan to come back later?”

“But by then, age would have caught up, and who knows what would happen?”

Her words seemed to be in defense of Sonia, but in reality, she was hinting at an unclear

relationship between Candice and Mr. Elysian.

Sonia’s face turned pale. She was not foolish and could naturally understand Julie’s implications.

She was about to speak when she heard Candice’s calm voice. “Oh, Julie, do you find me an eyesore

just because you think you’re getting older? After all, people tend to envy what they don’t

have.”

Candice’s tone was indifferent, almost as if she did not take Julie’s words seriously.

She glanced at Sonia who was behind Julie, and for no apparent reason, chuckled softly, “But I think

Sonia should be more concerned than I am about your reminder.”

Although Candice and Julie were.not on good terms, they rarely confronted each other in such

public situations.

It was impossible for Candice to believe that Sonia had no part to play in this.
