My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 427

Candice got up to answer the phone outside.

The background noise from Sawyer's end sounded loud, probably from a business dinner.

He didn’t usually call her without a reason so she asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Mr. Elysian has finished reviewing the materials for the modification of the Burning Star Studio plan. You can go to Aether Corporation and handle the subsequent funds. It's convenient since you're in Dorrington City now."

This was something that happened some time ago. Hanley had suddenly changed the original plan, and Alex had requested to review the new one.

"I'll go," Candice said.

"You should go tomorrow." Sawyer paused for a moment and reminded her, "It's almost the end of the month, and the finance department won't process transactions in the last two days."

He had a good point.

"Oh, by the way." Just when Candice was about to hang up, he suddenly added, "Mr. Elysian is having dinner with Mr. Kemp tonight. This cooperation is crucial, and he really can't get away—"

"Is there anything else?" Candice didn't want to hear about Alex's work matters.

"That's all."

Candice hung up, turned around, and saw Hanley coming out with a coat.

He raised his eyebrows slightly. "I thought you would stay outside for a while longer."

She raised her phone and said, "Sawyer called and asked me to go to Aether Corporation's finance department tomorrow."

Under the light, Hanley's eyes looked particularly gentle. He didn't say anything, just lowered his head and put the coat he was holding on her. "It's chilly at night. Don't catch a cold."

"Thank you," she murmured.

Her voice was low, and she looked visibly troubled.

"I'll ask my senior about the lawyer,” Hanley said. “Even if Quil is powerful, with your solid evidence, he won't be able to turn the tables easily. Otherwise, wouldn't the law be too fragile?"

Candice tightened the coat around her, forcing a smile. "I'm just a little worried."

If they couldn't completely bring down Sonia this time, then it would probably be difficult to find another chance in the future.

Candice wasn't someone who believed in fate, but recent events often made her feel an uncontrollable sense of powerlessness.

She was also afraid.

Afraid that she couldn't even make the real culprit of her grandfather’s death be punished, afraid that he would blame her for being useless.

She was afraid that he had left the world without any peace.

Candice took a deep breath, clutching the coat, and looked at the street lamp outside. In the cold winter, only that dim light could dispel some of the fog and bring warmth to people.

The next morning, Hanley offered to accompany her to Aether Corporation. However, Candice knew that the construction site had reached its final stage, and it was the time when people were needed the most. She declined his offer.

Nadia sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, looked up and said, "Candice, let the Boss go with you. It'll ease his worries. After he knew you were injured in Solaris, he rescheduled his trip to Solaris overnight."

Although Nadia said it casually, Hanley cleared his throat and looked at Candice. "Let's go."

Caught in the situation, Candice found she couldn’t disagree. They headed off together.

They arrived at Aether. She was more familiar with the process of going to Aether Corporation's finance department than anyone else. With Alex's pre-approval, everything went smoothly.

When she was downstairs at the entrance, she bumped into Tamia and Kayla. They pulled Candice aside to catch up.

Seeing Kayla looking like she was about to go out, Candice asked, "Are you going out to meet a client?"
