Once she locked the door, Candice huffed and puffed as she put her hands on the sink. She could still
hear Alex’s voice outside. Candice raised her eyes and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She could
only feel
how laughable it all was.
Eight years and all she managed to get was that she had slept with him for so long.
Candice suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself brutally. She put in a lot of strength in that slap,
and
tears rolled down from her eyes that were already red in the first place.
Two drops of tears fell on the back of her hand. They were burning.
When she walked out again, Alex had already left with the door opened wide.
Candice was stunned for a moment before walking over and closing the door. Only then did she get
back to
bed to rest.
She still had to work the next morning. However, Candice had little sleep the whole night. When she
woke up.
her face was extremely pale.
She cleaned herself up before leaving and then saw Nina who was at the elevator.
When Nina saw Candice, she paused. And then, she started frowning in disgust and sneered, “Ms.
Renault, don’t tell me you’re going to see the clients with that kind of expression on your face?”
Candice had already put on some makeup, so it wasn’t as bad as when she had just woken up.
However, her condition was just too bad.
Candice was too tired and didn’t want to start a quarrel with Nina. She pressed her lips and simply went
to the lobby.
Alex was already there. He glanced at Candice, and his brows furrowed.
“As a staff of Aether, isn’t it disrespectful to meet the clients with that face?” Nina’s sharp voice came
from behind. Candice gulped and quickly replied, “I’m sorry. I’m not feeling well today, so…”
Before she could even finish it, she was cut off by Alex and he said, “Find a driver.”
Candice looked up but only to hear Alex say, “Don’t tell me you’re thinking of driving in that condition?”
Candice didn’t mind the reduced workload. She got into the passenger’s seat first and closed her eyes This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
for a quick rest as she sat by the car window.
However, for some reason, traffic was quite terrible this morning. As Candice was resting by the car
window. her consciousness was slowly drifting away when she listened to the beeping honks outside.
Slowly, the voices from the back disappeared, and Candice was feeling her eyelids becoming heavier.
Only when she heard someone knocking at the car window did she wake up.
The traffic outside the window had already disappeared. They were in front of the branch company.

Outside the car window, Alex knocked at the car window again with a cold expression on his face.
Candice slowly opened the door and got out of the car.
Alex glanced at her. “You were sound asleep.”
Candice massaged her head and said, “I’m sorry.
“Other than apologizing, what else can you say?” Alex snorted.
Candice said nothing other than lowering her head and then followed Alex inside.
Once upstairs, Nina was already waiting in the lounge. A glass of water was in her hand as she looked
at Alex, upset. “What took you so long?”
“I picked up a call,” Alex answered.
Nina didn’t dare to ask more about it and simply nodded. She picked up the document on the desk and
asked, ”
To the meeting room?”
Candice stood there, unmoving. She guessed Alex would take Nina to the meeting again.
However, Alex simply gave Nina a dispassionate look and said, “It’s not suitable for you to join today’s
meeting. Candice will join me.”
Nina was stunned before frowning. She wanted to object.
However, Alex had already directly taken the document and tossed it over to Candice. With a frosty
stare, he asked, “Are you expecting me to carry you there?”
