My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 0119 

Jackson looked at Candice, worried, and said softly, “You can tell me anything.” 

Candice tried her best to smile. “Thank you for staying here the whole day. You haven’t had dinner, right? My treat.” 

It was obvious she didn’t want to talk to Jackson about her grandfather. Jackson gave her a good look and didn’t pursue the question. 

He changed the topic and asked, “How are you doing with Hanley?” 

Candice nodded. “He’s quite friendly.” 

“You’re probably the first one to say that.” Jackson let out a chuckle. He remembered what Hanley was like and said, “That’s probably because your personalities are very alike.” 

Candice didn’t feel that she had anything similar to Hanley, however. She simply thought that Jackson was trying to find a topic of conversation, and she played along. 

There were no good restaurants nearby. It was dinner time, and the restaurants were all packed. They were mainly patients who were from the hospital or their family. 

They drove to another commercial area. 

Candice had little appetite, however, so she asked Jackson, “What do you want to eat?” 

Jackson gave her a look and said, “Risotto? Something plain.” 

However, they had just stepped into the restaurant when Jackson’s phone rang. 

He apologized to Candice and went out to answer the call. 

Candice went into the private room before taking out her phone. 

In order to take care of Joe in the evening, she had put it on silent mode and had kept it inside her purse all the while. 

When she took it out, she noticed a missed call and two WhatsApp messages. 

They were all from Kayla, asking where she was. 

Candice called back and Kayla picked up very quickly. She was still working overtime, and she sounded like she was suffering. “Hello? Candice? What is it?” 

Candice said. “You called me just now in the evening, right? What’s up?” 

“Evening?” Kayla was stunned for a moment before she remembered and said, “Oh, right. The boss came over to the office asking where you went to just now in the evening. I thought he wanted something from you.” 

Alex was looking for her? 

Candice frowned and asked, “Why was he looking for me?” 

115 BONOS 

“I don’t know. He left after hearing that you’re already gone.” 

After her call with Kayla ended, Jackson entered the room. However, he was slightly frowning, looking 

somewhat upset. 

Candice was slightly troubled and asked, “What is 117 

“It’s nothing. Sieg asked me out for dinner,” Jackson said. He then sat opposite of Candice and grabbed the menu. “Have you ordered?” 

Jackson and Sieg were very well acquainted as they grew up together. 

However, for some reason, Jackson and Alex became distant. 

Candice lowered her eyes and whispered, “Sieg’s probably looking for you for something important. Maybe you should go see him?”
