Chapter 201

Candice was aware that the Secretary’s Office often had overtime.

Aether still used a facial recognition system, and it seemed the company had not had the chance to

change it, so Candice went up without a hitch.

Not many people were in the Secretary’s Office, and there was a box on her desk.

“Candice?” The surprised voice of Sonia rang out behind her.

Candice turned around.

Sonia’s astonishment had not faded from her face. She scanned Candice up and down, puzzled. ”

Candice, didn’t you resign already? Why are you here again?”

Candice looked at her expressionlessly. “I came back to pick up something.”

Candice frowned. Did Kayla not mention that they had a meeting? Why did Sonia not go? She had no

interest in indulging Sonia’s performance.

As Candice was about to leave, Sonia followed her. She looked at the box Candice was holding and

smiled innocently.

“So these things belong to you. I saw Ms. Fleming packing this up this morning and thought it was hers.

We just received our employee benefits yesterday. You know the company’s benefits have always been

good. I still have a lot of things to take home.”

Candice looked at her coldly. Sonia’s words seemed to imply that Candice intentionally came back to

take something from Aether.

Candice felt repulsed.

She said coolly. “When you were with Alex, did he not broaden your horizons? Aether gives some

quarterly benefits, and you praise them so exaggeratedly?” She was taller than Sonia, and with her

eyes lowered and a lightly mocking tone, Candice looked quite superior.

Sonia’s face paled for a moment.

Just as she was about to speak, Candice continued. “Don’t bother t put on an act in front of me. Even if

you act like a starlet, there won’t be any rewards from me. Even if you aren’t tired of it, I am.

Sonia watched Candice’s retreating figure, her smiling expression collapsing..

From the moment she first saw Candice, she had not liked her. Even until this moment, she still

had not been able to bring herself to like her.

Candice carried the box out and put the things into her car.

She stared at the Aether building for a long time before taking out her phone and making a call. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

No one answered on the other end.

Candice did not give up. She ended the call and dialed again.

After ringing for some time, the call was finally answered.

Candice’s breath hitched, and she harshly pinched her palm before speaking hoarsely. “Alex, I

want to talk to you.”

On the other end, there was silence, and Alex did not speak for a while.

After a moment, his deep and indifferent voice finally sounded, carrying a hint of sarcasm.” Candice,

you really overestimate yourself.”

Candice sat in the driver’s seat, staring at the billboard across from her, her voice low and subdued.

“Do your previous demands still count? You said, as long as I- As long as I satisfy you. you will help

me.”

Candice could not bring herself to say the words “please“. Each word she spoke was deliberate. as if

she were struggling with herself.

Alex did not react much to her words, however. He sneered. “Candice, do you have a

misunderstanding about yourself, or do you have a misunderstanding about me? What makes your

I have to give you another chance?”

Candice held onto her phone, gripping it tightly.

Slowly lowering her head, she pressed her forehead against the steering wheel, her voice hoarse and

almost inaudible. “Then, Alex, can you tell me, what else do you want me to do? I will agree to

anything, Alex, as long as you help me.” Candice’s tone was very faint, as if she was extremely

exhausted.

She was really on the verge of being suffocated.
