Her gaze was fixed on Sawyer.
However, Sawyer didn't answer. He remembered the moment in the elevator when Darius said he wanted to meet Candice, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He subconsciously looked at Alex beside him. "Mr. Elysian..."
Alex's gaze flickered for a moment, then he looked at Candice deeply and said without any emotions, "Which person do you want to meet? Darius?"
Sawyer coughed, and it was only then that Candice realized her words were too direct.
After a pause, she added, "He looks a lot like someone I know."
Alex's eyelids drooped, and he looked at her with a hint of a smile. "A very cliché reason."
Candice had something on her mind but didn't want to waste words with Alex here. She thought for a moment and decided it would be more appropriate to ask Sawyer privately on WhatsApp later.
She lowered her head and told Sawyer that she was going upstairs.
The moment she turned around, she heard Alex's voice, "Don't provoke that person."
Candice paused and turned to look at Alex.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were like an endless black sea, deep and profound.
Candice's expression remained unchanged, and she calmly said, "You're overthinking. I'm not so bored to have that kind of thing on my mind all the time."
"No matter what it is, Darius is not someone you can provoke." Alex heard Candice's reply and seemed somewhat displeased.
He pressed down on his temples and lowered his voice. His tone was unusually serious.
People were coming and going in the hotel lobby, and the crystal chandelier above Candice's head shone brilliantly, reflecting down from above her.
She looked at Alex with an expressionless face and reminded him, "Even if I want to provoke him, what does it have to do with you?"
Alex's brow slightly furrowed, and he was about to speak but was cut off by Sawyer.
He said, "Candice, Mr. Elysian is just giving you a friendly reminder. Darius is cunning and ruthless. Having any relationship with him might not be a good thing."
"Is that so?" Candice's expression didn't change, and she asked softly.
Seeing her indifferent appearance, a touch of deep and cold chill flashed in Alex's eyes. He said in a cold voice, "If you don't believe it, you can try."
"I will, of course." Candice finished speaking, lowered her eyelashes, and blocked her inner thoughts.
There were too many coincidences about Darius.
Moreover, he really looked a lot like Henry.
Henry was Candice's biological father.
However, she couldn't tell Alex these things. So, she entered the elevator directly.
After Candice entered the elevator, Alex's expression almost immediately turned cold. He stared coldly in the direction of the elevator.
Sawyer cleared his throat, "I'll remind Candice more—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Alex.
He glanced over coldly, "Remind what?"
"Darius gives people a very dangerous feeling. I always feel that having too much contact with him is not a good thing."
Sawyer whispered with a frown.
In fact, when Darius came to discuss business with Alex today, the two sides didn't have a pleasant conversation either. Both were smart people in the business world, testing each other, but the final result was not so satisfactory.
Darius now held 49 percent of the shares of the Quinton family, almost turning the tables and gaining significant influence in the Quinton family's company.
