My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 378

Candice followed Alex as they exited the restaurant. She stayed silent throughout.

Henry's voice rang constantly in her head. Her brain buzzed, and her chest felt tense and uneasy.

Alex abruptly came to a stop.

Candice gazed up at him, where her eyes were packed with complicated thoughts. Without a doubt, Henry's slap would have landed on her face had Alex not stepped in.

She questioned silently, "How did you make it there just in time?"

"Angela tipped me off," Alex remarked casually.

"It is still unclear what the nature of Henry and Darius' relationship is," he said coldly as he looked at the time. "Getting involved could make things more complicated for you."

"So, you're here to warn me?" Candice questioned, her lips slightly pursed.

Alex maintained a calm look. He ignored the question and focused on her face. He went on to ask in a deep voice, "Should I have Sawyer take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

The message was clear to Candice. He was trying to avoid having her become involved in anything that could potentially affect his plans. Alex was always cautious, especially given Henry's ties to Darius. He wouldn't want the situation she was in to lead to any unforeseen problems.

She kept silent for a moment before responding, "I'm okay. I'll return to the conference hall on my own."

Candice felt uneasy when she had to deal with Alex. Nobody wanted to be seen at their most vulnerable.

Alex lifted his brow slightly but said nothing further.

Candice returned to the conference hall all by herself.

Angela was already waiting for her. She was astonished to see Candice return so quickly and said, "Why are you back already?"

She assumed Candice would spend more time with Alex.

Candice gazed at her and was hesitant to speak. Finally, she shook her head and quietly returned to her seat.
