Chapter 0154
Sonia’s face turned pale in an instant under Candice’s scrutiny. In fact, there were quite a few
rumors circulating within Aether about her, but no one dared to say them to her face.
However, both Julie and Candice spoke without restraint, and for a moment, the expression on
Sonia’s face was quite vivid.
Watching her changing expression, Candice slowly withdrew her gaze.
Just as the elevator reached the ground floor, she blinked and exited the elevator.
But what she did not expect was to run into Alex right after leaving the company entrance.
He had just returned from Blue Artifact, his expression cold, and his jaw clenched tightly.
When he saw Candice, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, a clear sign that his mood was not great.
Feeling that she had not provoked him, Candice was about to walk away when she heard footsteps approaching. Soon, she heard Sonia’s aggrieved voice. “Lex.”
Now outside the company, Sonia jogged over, and whether it was intentional or not, her shoulder
bumped into Candice.
Candice wore high heels today, and although they were not very high, she still stumbled half a
step to the side when bumped.
Meanwhile, Sonia ran straight to Alex, raised her small face, and with a reddened nose, looked up
at him.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was aggrieved.
Alex’s gaze, originally on Candice, shifted back to Sonia. “What’s wrong?”
Candice did not want to watch Sonia’s performance any longer and turned away.
Sonia, who had been paying attention to her movements all along, watched her leaving figure, and a trace of complex thoughts flashed in her eyes. Then, she bit her lip and slowly spoke. “Alex, I don’t want to stay in the CEO’s office anymore. Candice is right. I don’t know anything and don’t
have the qualifications.”
As she spoke, she had already become melancholic, clutching Alex’s clothes and not letting go.
Alex’s gaze landed on the hand pulling on his clothes, and his tone was indifferent. “Candice said
that?”

Before Sonia could answer, he sneered. “Who gave her the right to act so high and mighty?”
Sonia remained silent, but her eyes hidden beneath her eyelashes showed subtle ernotional fluctuations.
Instead of going home directly, Candice first went to the nursing home.
Her grandfather had called earlier today, reminding her that she had not visited him for several days.
Since the last time he was discharged, her grandfather’s health had deteriorated visibly, and the doctor had repeatedly warned about the possibility of a stroke.
When Candice arrived at the nursing home, her grandfather was flipping through a photo album in his room.
She placed the fruits she had brought on the table and spoke softly. “The caregiver said you haven’t had dinner yet tonight. Is it because of a poor appetite?”
