My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 382

Alex furrowed his brow, his gaze piercing. "What do you mean?"

Candice sneered and said in a mocking tone, "Maybe you should ask Sonia. She seems quite loyal to Aether Corporation. She even stood up for them."

As Candice was about to explain to Alex, Sonia timely interrupted her. She subtly used Aether Corporation as an excuse, making it seem as if Burning Star Studio had caused great trouble for Aether Corporation.

Recalling last night, when Alex received a message from Sonia and hastily left, Candice couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain.

After pocketing her phone, she walked past Alex and left.

Alex watched her departing figure, his brow furrowing tightly. After a moment, he lowered his gaze, his cold face showing a hint of sternness.

Candice went outside to call Hanley and inform her about the situation with Quentin.

Hanley remained silent for a while.

After a pause, he calmly spoke, "Quentin has a questionable character. You don't need to have too much contact with him. Let me handle this when I come over."

Candice hesitated. "But from the looks of it now, he seems resistant to Burning Star Studio. I'm worried about what will happen if this goes on."

Hanley comforted her. "He's not the person in charge of Redshade Corporation, so you don’t have to worry."

Despite Hanley’s reassurance, Candice couldn't shake off her concerns. She returned to the meeting room with a heavy heart.

Although Quentin's rejection was evident, Candice wasn't about to give up so easily. She had dealt with many difficult clients before, and Quentin was just one of them. Besides, Burning Star Studio's ability was widely recognized in the industry.

However, Quentin's attitude, coupled with Sonia's interpretation, left others with a somewhat skeptical view of Candice.

Taking advantage of their good relationship, Angela approached Candice and asked, "Is there any grudge between Burning Star Studio and Mr. Howles? He seems very hostile toward you."

Candice pinched her brow before saying anything. She then heard Angela sigh. "But I think you should pay more attention to Mr. Elysian. Hailey asked him to step out earlier. When I went out just now, the two of them were talking, and they seemed quite close."

Candice paused for a moment before she looked up and asked, "What has that got to do with me?"

Angela replied, "Stop pretending. Judging by how nervous Mr. Elysian is around you, I know your relationship is more than meets the eye."

Candice didn't respond to Angela's words. Right now, she was only concerned about changing Quentin's impression of Burning Star Studio.

However, she couldn't change the safety incident that had happened; she couldn’t turn back time.

Even after the meeting ended, Candice was still worried about this issue.

Abel and Yondu came to comfort her, and she nodded in thanks.

However, she didn't expect that, after leaving, she would see Alex and Sonia together again.

Thinking about it, she hadn't seen Alex since she encountered him at the door. It seemed that he had been with Sonia all this time.

They were on the balcony of the corridor on the first floor.

The upstairs bathroom was being cleaned, so Candice had to come downstairs. Unexpectedly, she saw Sonia leaning close to Alex.

They were so immersed in their conversation that they didn't notice her.

Candice turned around, not wanting to make herself uncomfortable.
