My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 380

Sonia's face flashed with astonishment and panic the instant she laid eyes on Candice.

She instantly concealed it with a forced smile and questioned, "Candice, why are you here?"

Candice was equally surprised.

Sonia appeared different than before. Her image of the innocent girl next door had vanished.

She now wore thick makeup, complete with cat eyes. Sonia had also had her straight hair permed into huge curls. Her attire was overly sensuous and ill-fitting. The new look made her look like a child dressed up in adult attire.

Candice took some time to inspect Sonia before gently saying, "This is my room. It seems like you've lost your way."

Her statement appeared to irritate Sonia, whose face darkened immediately. She stared at Candice and said, "I didn't even realize you were here. What's the deal with your harsh words?"

After a brief moment of shock, Candice addressed Sonia's angry stare with a chilly retort, "Harsh words? You're the one who came knocking on my door. Sonia, you are practically making a scene here. I can have security escort you out right now."

Hanley had made the reservation for the room. It was a high-end suite that was very serene. In fact, the entire floor was quiet, and Candice's remarks were clearly heard.

She stared blankly at Sonia, watching her expression change dramatically.

Candice began to regret her decision to change rooms, which had led to this surprising encounter.

Sonia placed a hand against her chest. She wore a strapless bodycon dress, and any reckless movement increased the chance of exposure.

She didn't expect to run into Candice here. Furthermore, she was mortified to discover that she had gone to the wrong room—she should have knocked on 909 instead of 906.

Her chest heaved heavily as she fought to contain the embarrassment and wrath that were swelling inside her.

Sonia raised her eyes and shot Candice a solemn gaze. She bit her lip and said quietly, "Sorry. I made a mistake."

Candice wore an uninterested expression.

Sonia clenched her fist tightly, keeping her emotions in check before leaving.

Candice was ready to return to her room when she heard footsteps coming. She looked up and saw Alex approaching her.

She gave a little frown. Then, her gaze unwittingly turned to the direction in which Sonia was leaving.

The timing was almost perfect. Sonia had just walked away, and Alex had returned.

Alex carried the refreshing scene of rain with him, which meant it was most likely raining out there. He came to an abrupt stop next to Candice and asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"

"Sonia was here," Candice explained softly.

Her response caused Alex's brow to twitch as if in shock.

Candice averted her gaze and retreated to her room.

Alex immediately followed her inside.

They were unaware that Sonia, who was meant to be on her way out, was doubling back around the corridor.

She stared at Candice's room door in bewilderment.

Sonia had stormed out earlier because she hadn't mentally prepared herself to confront that man. When she returned, she accidentally saw Alex and Candice enter the room together.

Her gaze fixed on the door, and she began to wonder if Alex and Candice had been together all this time. Alex refused to forgive her, but he was able to share a room with Candice so openly.

Sonia dug her nails into the wall and felt a sharp pain from her fingertips due to the force she had applied.

"Sonia? What are you doing over there? I came looking for you when Mr. Green mentioned that you had come looking for me," a man spoke from behind.
