My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 413

Sonia gazed at Alex as she spoke with a softened tone; it was a complete contrast to her attitude in front of Candice. Her eyes were teary as she cautiously probed, "Lex, shall we talk outside? I know a nice coffee place nearby."

Sawyer furrowed his brow slightly while sizing up Sonia. Their relationship wasn't particularly good, and they weren't very close.

When Alex transferred Sonia over, Sawyer often had to clean up the mess she created. Though they were minor issues, they became annoying when they piled up, leading Sawyer to maintain a distant attitude toward Sonia.

Sonia continued to look at Alex expectantly, confident that Alex would agree once she mentioned Brisco Corporation.

Full of expectations, she was taken aback when Alex's emotionless voice rang out. "Why should I listen to you?"

She explained instinctively, "But regarding Brisco Corporation…"

Alex lifted his eyelids, his gaze as calm as a still pond. He swept his eyes over Sonia's bewildered face, showing no interest in what she was saying.

A shiver ran down Sonia's spine as a sense of panic took over. Desperate, she looked at Alex. Realizing she was unable to read anything from his expression, she turned to Sawyer.

After looking around, she finally looked back at Alex and steadied herself by squeezing her palms.

"Apart from Brisco Corporation, I also need to talk to you about Redshade Corporation. Lex, don't you want to take over Redshade Corporation? I heard you've been planning for the proposal. I can help you," Sonia said while biting her lip.

The financial meeting on the first floor was ongoing, and there were others there besides Alex.

Sonia's voice, initially soft, gradually grew louder as she spoke. It seemed like she wasn't just informing Alex; she was also emphasizing to herself that she could indeed help him.

With half-closed eyes, Alex paid little attention to Sonia's words. Sawyer timely interrupted, "Sonia, the meeting is about to start. Mr. Elysian needs some rest. Could you please leave?"

Embarrassed, Sonia stood her ground. "Lex, I meant what I said. As long as you're willing, I'll help Aether Corporation through this crisis."

Sonia was about to step forward after she finished speaking, but Sawyer extended his hand, blocking her path. He reminded, "If you can't find your way out, I can escort you, Sonia."

Sonia stormed off.

Sawyer frowned while looking at Alex. "Looks like Sonia is going to complain to Quentin again."

Alex, with a calm expression, replied, "Is everything arranged with Dorrington?"

As the meeting was about to end, participants in the summit meeting were very proactive and eager. Many had exchanged contacts and discussed potential collaborations.

Candice received numerous business cards, mostly from those interested in associating with Burning Star Studio. Even Angela handed over their studio's card, expressing her boss's desire to meet Hanley.

Observing Angela's exhausted appearance, Candice paused her action of taking the card. "What's wrong? You look pale."

Shaking her head, Angela sighed. "My best friend's relationship is in crisis, and I’m her emotional support."

Angela's best friend was Bella, and Bella's boyfriend was Darius.
