Chapter 0045 

+15 BONUS 

The sound unavoidably reached Alex’s ears

He looked up with an indifferent look and caught sight of Candice. She looked tipsy as she leaned against the wall and watched them

She seemed a bit more lonely than usual as she stood there alone, and also somewhat fragile

Alex’s gaze slightly darkened as he watched Candice slowly enter the adjacent suite

When Candice walked past Alex, she paused momentarily, which allowed Alex to catch a whiff of the faint scent of alcohol on her

After reaching her suite, Candice slept deeply. She only woke up in the middle of the night because she was feeling thirsty. She wanted to get up to pour some water but was wide awake

Just then, her phone rang. Candice picked it up to find a transaction record

Alex had transferred ten thousand dollars to her

Presumably, it was her salary for the night

News of Sonia attending Helen’s birthday banquet quickly spread in the office, stirring a new wave of discussions

Kayla discreetly asked Candice if it was true, and Candice nodded

Yes.” 

This further solidified the rumors that Alex was determined to be with Sonia

Sonia was an intern, and she needed three months to obtain her internship certificate. Alex was supposed to handle it, but she had first applied to the secretary’s department and forgot to transfer it

Now, she had to go to Candice

Sonia studied at Dorrington University, which was a reputable institution. So, the internship certificate requirements were stringent

When Candice received her application, she still had several other documents and internship certificates to process

After some thought, she said. Come find me tomorrow; I have a lot to handle today.” 

Sonia acknowledged Candice’s reply and turned to leave

Candice was busy herself, and Sonia didn’t come to see her the next day. With that, Candice assumed Sonia had found someone else to help and didn’t bother asking

Instead, she processed the internship certificates for others and sent them out

Unexpectedly, two days later, Kayla gossiped in the office, Sonia’s eyes are red from crying again. This time

As soon as she finished, a call from the upper floors came, instructing Candice to go up

Candice’s heart skipped a beat

Going upstairs, she indeed found Sonia sobbing on the desk

When she approached, Sonia visibly paused. Candice stopped in front of her and asked softly. Did I do something to upset you?” 

Sonia halted her sobbing and slowly raised her tearstained eyes

Candice, if you didn’t want to provide me with an internship certificate, why didn’t you just tell me?” 

Sonia.Candice paused, looking at Sonia. I asked you to come and see me the next day, but 

t you didn’t.” 

But Candice, I sent you emails and messaged you.Sonia’s voice choked as she spoke, her eyes tinted with a hint of grievance. I sent it to your inbox. The school collected the internship certificates yesterday. Mine wasn’t included. If you couldn’t help, you could have just told me. I would have found someone else.” 

Candice couldn’t recall adding Sonia to her WhatsApp contacts. She took out her phone and checked, finding Sonia’s messages on her work WhatsApp

There were only two brief messages

[Candice, can you sign my internship certificate?

[Sent it to your inbox. Thank you.

As she finished reading, the door to Alex’s office opened. He raised his hand and knocked twice on the door frame. His voice was cold and detached when he spoke, Candice, come in.” 

His gaze shifted to Sonia. You too.” 

Indeed, Alex was here about Sonia’s internship certificate

He asked Candice. Why didn’t you provide Sonia with an internship certificate?” 

Candice pursed her lips, remaining silent for a moment before saying, I told her to come find me. I was very busy.” 

But you provided internship certificates for the other interns,Alex said. His face showed little emotion as he looked at Candice. Is there really no differential treatment?” 

Candice opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but the words on her lips turned into. Did I treat Sonia differently?” 

Isn’t it?Alex raised his hand and took out a folder from the desk, tossing it in front of Candice. In the list of outstanding interns submitted, everyone is listed except Sonia.” 

Candice glanced at the list. I didn’t organize this.” 

The secretary’s office submitted it. Haven’t you seen it?” 

+15 BONUS 

Alex’s attitude made it clear he was taking Sonia’s side, as if Candice had truly done something unfair to 

Sonia

She examined the list and calmly explained. This list is based on the internsperformance.” 

She looked at Sonia. Do you understand what I mean?” 

Sonia’s face tumed pale. She understood Candice’s implication

The interns in the secretary’s office would go out to meet clients and negotiate business deals. But in Sonia’s case, she followed Alex. By doing so, she didn’t know anything about the company’s significant clients, and 

Alex didn’t meet smaller clients

So, she indeed lacked any substantial achievements

However… 

Sonia bit her lip and glanced at Candice

Did Candice dare say she had no personal motives

It was just one slot

If Candice really had really wanted to include Sonia in the list, how could she not make room for it

Candice happened to turn around and caught Sonia’s gaze. She hesitated and said, If you want that slot. I can 

add you to the list.” 

Her tone was light, seemingly indifferent, but it made Sonia unusually concerned

Sonia quickly shook her head, looking wounded and fragile, Candice, I don’t want it. I know I haven’t made any 

progress.” 

Okay,Candice responded
