Chapter 0286 

Sawyer nodded. 

As Candice was about to speak, she heard Ryan’s voice, “Are you still going to look for him? His attitude is already clear. Why waste more time?” 

Ryan’s impression of Aether Corporation today was quite negative, so he spoke without any regard for Sawyer’s presence. He snorted, “The President of the Aether Corporation is indeed. 

different.” 

Candice looked at Hanley, who frowned and did not seem to agree with Ryan’s action. 

She pursed her lips and whispered, “Since we are here to discuss things, there should be a proper exchange. Besides, I have other matters to discuss with him.” 

Hanley’s eyelids drooped, his long eyelashes shielding the thoughts in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Do you need me to wait for you?” 

She hesitated for a moment and said, “If you are going to the building materials market, go ahead. first. I’ll come find you later.” 

Before leaving. Hanley said to her, “We’ll wait for you downstairs for half an hour.” 

Her heart stirred when she heard this. She lifted her eyelids to look at him. Despite the coldness. on his face, there was a hint of tenderness and helplessness in his eyes. 

And worry. 

Candice’s eyelashes trembled, hesitating as she explained, “After I handle things. I’ll come back. and talk to you.” 

When she went downstairs, Ryan looked at Hanley and sighed, “Why didn’t I notice before that you have such a good temper?” 

Hanley, expressionless, replied, “What’s the use of having a good temper when yours is bad?” 

Being countered like that, Ryan could only close his mouth and not speak again. He could tell that Hanley’s current mood was not as gentle as he had just shown in front of Candice. 

Meanwhile, upstairs. 

Accompanied by Sawyer, Candice went to the office, where only Julie and another young person 

were present. 

Candice looked at the unfamiliar young person, and Sawyer explained, “This is the new intern. 

+15 BONOS 

Upon hearing his words, Julie, who had been diligently working, suddenly looked up. Without any reason, she added. “Do you think you’re irreplaceable? Look, anyone can easily take over your 

position.” 

Candice had grown accustomed to Julie’s sarcastic remarks during her time at Aether Corporation, so she didn’t even spare her a glance. 

The new intern discreetly glanced at Candice. 

Sawyer escorted Candice to the door of the president’s office, then pushed it open. “Mr. Elysian. 

Candice has something to discuss with you.” 

Alex’s hand paused slightly in motion. He lifted his eyelids and expressionlessly said. “Let her in.” 

Candice didn’t wait long outside before Sawyer came out. “You can go in now.” 

She thanked him softly and turned, pushing the office door open. 

kly gaze. 

Upon entering, she met Alex’s chilly 

She paused. “Sorry to take up a few minutes of your time. I have something to discuss with you.” 

He looked indifferent with a hint of playfulness in his tone as he said, “Want to discuss conditions 

again regarding Burning Star Studio?” 

He continued, “Sure, state your conditions. I’m curious to know what else you can come up with.” 

Alex’s casual tone left Candice silent for a moment before she spoke, “I came to talk about the 

matter of 1.5 million.” 

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. His dark eyes flickered slightly as he stared at her, his 

thoughts surging. 

However, he quickly suppressed them, lifted his chin, and displayed a proud and indifferent 

expression. “Go on.” 

After taking a deep breath, Candice looked at Alex again, trying to make her voice sound calm, “I 

want to return 50 thousand first. In subsequent installments, following the bank’s interest calculation. Is that acceptable?” 

This decision had been carefully considered by Candice. Her available balance was not much. only 60 thousand, so she could return a portion to him first. She would figure out how to handle the rest later. 

Originally, she had planned to come later, but since he insisted on her coming today, she might as well take the opportunity to clarify things. 

“If there’s no issue, I can transfer the money to you this afternoon.” 

+15 BONOS 

Alex’s eyes were sharp, and when he looked at someone with such indifference, it created a 

strong sense of oppression. 

Candice, facing his gaze, lowered her eyelids and spoke in a soft but deliberate tone. “If you 

disagree… 

Before she could finish her sentence, Alex interrupted her directly, his tone rising at the end, full of sarcasm, “Why should I agree?” 

“What can 50 thousand do? Are you returning it to me to show that I’m bullying the weak or to prove your resilience and bravery?” 

Alex’s eyebrows acquired a layer of frost, his expression displeased. “Candice, are you trying to humiliate me with this 50 thousand, or are you humiliating yourself?” 

Her eyebrows tightened slowly, and her throat felt dry. 

Although she didn’t want to admit it, at this moment, it indeed made her feel embarrassed. She 

said, “I don’t have much.” 

Alex coldly snorted, “What am I supposed to do with your inability?” 

“Since you are so lofty about repaying the money, why not repay it all at once? I find it bothersome to receive in bits and pieces.” 

Candice closed her eyes, slowly gathering her thoughts. She heard her own dry voice say, “Alright, I’ll gather the entire amount and pay you back.” 

Alex nodded imperiously. “I’m looking forward to it.”
