Chapter 0118
Candice stood outside the door for a while. Only when there was no sound of them chatting did she push the door open and enter.
She saw the water splashed from the cup.
It was probably something Daniel did when he was angry just now.
She paused and lowered her eyes, speaking with a low voice. “Chairman, this is Aether’s market value for the past three months.”
Daniel glanced at her, with no change to his expression. With a calm voice, he asked, “How do you feel going to Stugan City this time?”
Candice’s expression remained the same. “Not bad.”
“I heard they need extra manpower over at Stugan City?” When Daniel said that, his eyes never left Candice.
Candice’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes trembled.
She had always thought that, compared to Helen, Daniel would be easier to get along with.
He was unhappy only at the beginning when Alex took her home.
He simply let it be afterward.
Even when Alex wanted to force Candice into the company and Helen tried to stop him, he simply asked Candice to sign a non–compete agreement.
From the looks of it, Daniel had already planned all of this from the very beginning.
He had already known that Candice would not marry into the Elysian household.
They all said that the only thing that the businessmen cared about was profit. Was Daniel not the best example?
Alex taught everything Candice knew. If Daniel wanted her to leave, it would seter all her paths. She couldn’t take anything that belonged to the Elysians.
If that was Daniel’s attitude, there was no question about Alex’s.
Candice could feel the numbness in her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at Alex sitting on the side.
Alex seemed to have felt her looking at him. He raised his eyes and simply glanced at her for a moment before turning away.
He cut off Daniel’s words and asked, “I heard that Resplendence is competing with the Odysseus Group for a piece of land. Are you confident about it?”
Daniel let out a cold snort. “It’s so rare to hear you worried about Resplendence.”
Alex’s expression didn’t change as he took his cup and sipped.

Daniel also wanted to take a sip, but half the tea inside his cup had already splashed out.
He frowned, somewhat upset.
Candice reacted quickly and cleaned up the cup. She went out, made another cup, and then brought it
Daniel and Alex had Important matters to discuss. Candice went out in understanding and closed the door
The moment she turned around, she met Sonia’s awkward eyes.
“Candice…” When Sonia saw that her expression didn’t change, she called out to her with a whisper and wore
a docile smile on her face. “Can you tell me everything about the chairman’s likes and dislikes?
She gritted her teeth before saying. “I feel like it’s not good for you to do all this, since you’re no longer w the CEO anymore.”
Despite how she said it, she was just trying to tell Candice in another way that she and Alex were no longer in
a relationship. She had no right to.
After going back, Kayla got close with a pile of documents. “Is the chairman gone yet?”
Candice said, “no.”
Kayla’s face was instantly filled with despair.
She had just been scolded by Alex in the morning and had to rush to change the report. Candice gave her a
look and reminded her. “Better change those spreadsheets soon.”
However, Kayla simply looked at her, asking for her help. “Candice…”
Candice’s hands didn’t stop, however, as she cleaned up her things. She lowered her eyes and said, “I have something else going on. Not to mention the boss won’t like this.”
Kayla, too, knew that what she was doing was improper. She said nothing and let out a sigh as she went back
to her workstation.
Candice organized the documents that she had to submit for the few days that she wasn’t in the office, and it
was already time to leave.
She still had to rush to the hospital to see how her grandpa was doing.
Only when she got to the hospital did she realize Jackson was there too.
Joe was still lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip. When Jackson saw Candice come over, he raised his
hand and greeted her.
Candice put down her purse and called out to her grandfather before turning to Jackson. “Why are you here.

Jackson had just sent her home this morning.
“I didn’t come here to see your grandfather originally, but the dean has an emergency, so I’m accompanying him for the moment.” Jackson said gently. n he saw the drip was running out, he immediately changed a

He looked at her with muddled eyes. There was a lot of love and sell blame inside Even Candies couldn’t

She averted her eyes, to not look at them.
After Joe had finished dinner, he felt so much better.
He held Candice’s arm with his thin hand and said with a strengthless voice, “Candice, I shouldn’t have said
any of that.
