My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 408

Suppressing his unease, Sawyer addressed Alex, "Mr. Elysian, what's the plan regarding Ms. Summers?"

He understood why Alex hadn't taken action against Sonia for so long.

Previously, Horizon Holdings had targeted Sonia and manipulated her to steal confidential information, causing significant harm to their company. The headquarters were dissatisfied with Alex's failure to handle the situation.

Initially, Alex was supposed to return to headquarters, but his transfer was delayed due to prolonged objections from the board of directors.

Because Horizon Holdings had outwitted him, Alex wasn't prepared to let it go easily, which was why he had to rely on Sonia.

However, as Sawyer glanced at the surveillance footage, a sense of unease washed over him.

In the next moment, he heard Alex's voice, laden with complex emotions, questioning, "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

Noticing the icy glare in Alex's eyes, Sawyer immediately grasped the situation. He straightened up and replied, "Understood, Mr. Elysian. I'll address it promptly."

"How do you plan to handle it so late at night? And where will you address it?" Alex's chilly voice echoed before Sawyer could leave.

Feeling stuck in place, Sawyer was torn between leaving or staying.

In the end, Alex snorted dismissively and quickly passed by him.

Sawyer finally regained his senses. Yet, he hesitated to follow his employer immediately. It was clear to anyone that provoking Alex at that moment would be unwise.

Candice and Barox made their way back to the hotel.

Shortly after their return, Barox received a call downstairs, leaving Candice to head upstairs alone.

That evening, she had little appetite, only nibbling on something at the hotel's restaurant before retiring to her room.

Discovering multiple missed calls from Henry on her phone irritated her greatly. Annoyed, she powered off her phone and attempted to sleep, but sleep eluded her.

Instead, she found herself studying Redshade Corporation's proposal until the early hours of the morning.

Consequently, when she arrived at the conference hall the following morning, Angela asked, "What were you up to last night? Your boyfriend is indeed young, but you shouldn't overdo it, especially since you're pregnant. Candice, you're quite daring!"

Candice rubbed her temples and explained, "I suffered from insomnia last night and spent the night reviewing business proposals."

She had only managed to fall asleep in the wee hours. After waking up past eight, Candice hurriedly prepared for the day. She headed straight to the conference hall due to her concern about potential traffic jams.

Having skipped breakfast, she encountered Barox at the door, who had brought her breakfast. Grabbing it, she rushed to the conference hall.

Fifteen minutes before the meeting officially began, Candice opted to eat her breakfast outside. Angela followed her outside.

As they reached the doorway, they collided with Sawyer, who was carrying a large box.

"Hey, watch it! Why are you up so early?" Angela exclaimed.

Sawyer offered an apologetic smile before turning to Candice and stating, "Mr. Elysian has arranged breakfast for everyone."

Those in the arts were not accustomed to being early birds. Inside the conference hall, some were yawning, while others were enjoying their breakfast.

Upon hearing Sawyer's announcement, everyone perked up and approached with smiles.

The breakfast provided by Alex had been purchased from a nearby café and was delicately presented and delicious.

As Sawyer distributed the meals, Candice paid him no mind and continued walking out of the room.

"Hey, where are you off to?" Angela called out, a cup of coffee in hand.

"The coffee beans from this café are from Sepros and quite popular," she added, introducing the coffee's origin.
