My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 0033 

Candice? Innocent? Isnt she in the next room with that old man, Humphrey Sieg snorted, his tone tinged with disgust. Everyone here is aware of the type of man he is.” 

Humphrey Moore was Infamously difficult to handle and known for his craftiness in the Dominaton City business scene

Despite Candice having drunk five glasses, Humphrey had still not shifted their conversation to business matters

He gave her another glass of wine

Humphrey’s delight was evident as he flattered Candice 

I’ve heard so much about you, Ms. Renault. As it turns out, you’re so gorgeous in person. Mr. Elysian is one fortunate man.” 

Candice, not adept at handling alcohol, found herself in an uncomfortable situation with Humphrey

When she had social engagements, she would typically bring along an assistant. Unfortunately, she was unable to find a suitable partner 

for this outing

She attempted to cover her glass and stopped Humprey from pouring more wine into it

That man took advantage of the situation by grabbing her hand and giving it a little squeeze

He praised, You’re very young. Ms. Renault. You have such beautiful skin.” 

Candice, dizzy from the wine as she was, withdrew her hand abruptly. She forced down her discomfort, got to her feet, and said. Excuse 

me, I need to go to the restroom.” 

She felt dizzy from the alcohol she had ingested and leaned against the washbasin for some time, trying to keep the nausea at bay

The hotel’s hallway seemed endless. Candice slowly made her way out of the restroom

The mere thought of Humphrey’s lustful stare was enough to make her feel sick to her stomach

She bumped into the individual who emerged from a private room just as she was walking past it. 

Sieg was taken aback when he ran across Candice. He instinctively took a few steps back as he smelled booze on her

Candice briefly met his eyes before shifting her attention to Alex. She muttered. Sorry.” 

Sieg stepped out of the room to answer a phone call. He walked by her, impatiently warning. Hey, get out of my way!” 

Left alone at the doorway. Candice felt inexplicably rooted to the spot, standing there in a trance until someone from inside a room called 

her name

Candice.” 

Hearing her name, Candice looked up. She heard someone say, Close the door.” 

She quickly regained her composure, silently did so, and returned to her private room

After Candice departed, the man who had spoken earlier expressed a tinge of remorse, wondering, Was I too harsh? She looked like she 

was going to cry.” 

His friend, however, chuckled and dismissed his concems, Stop blabbering nonsense. Hurry up! It’s your turn to drink up!” 

Back in her private room, Candice found that Humphrey’s secretaries had gone. He was the only person left in the room

When Candice entered, he motioned to the full glass of wine and said, Ms. Renault, remember our agreement: we won’t leave tonight until 

we’ve had our fill of drinks.”
