My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 475

Candice didn't reply Yana's message. She powered off her phone and continued working on the new planning proposal.

During the initial days at Solaris, she felt somewhat uneasy, dealing with unfamiliar weather, surroundings, tastes, and the strange accents she heard every day when returning home.

She was far away from Ryan, and they weren't close, so they primarily communicated through emails and WhatsApp groups and rarely met in person.

Without other friends around, Candice had become somewhat reclusive, only venturing out once a week to buy groceries.

She didn't have the desire to go out herself, as she had no friends and no pressing matters. The only time she ventured out recently, she couldn't help but notice the massive promotional poster for Aether Corporation.

Aether Corporation’s headquarters differed from its branches. Its scope was broader; it was not limited to finance but also extended to other economic undertakings.

One day, when the weather in Solaris was unexpectedly clear, she accidentally bumped into the full-length mirror in her room while airing out some clothes. The waist-high full-length mirror wobbled for quite a while, capturing the reflection of Candice in its unsteady gaze.

The mirror reflected her pale face, a slender neck, and clothes that used to fit well but now appeared loose on her. Candice stared at the seemingly lifeless woman in the mirror, shocked.

Her pupils trembled uncontrollably, and she instinctively reached out to touch the reflection in the mirror.

Was this really her? Why did she look so terrible? She didn’t feel sick, but she looked awful.

Candice stood in front of the mirror for a long time, trying to understand her current appearance and the reasons behind the change.

Suddenly, Yana's call interrupted her thoughts. "What are you doing? Did you go out today? The weather in Solaris is nice, according to the forecast."

Candice's voice was heavy. "I stayed home."

"Why are you always at home? Every time I call you in the past half month, you're at home." Yana expressed concern, asking Candice, "Do you remember to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"I do."

"That's good." Yana sighed, changing the topic. "By the way, Barox is coming to Solaris this weekend. I asked him to bring you something. I've been busy with work recently and can't take time off. Remember to contact him."

Yana ultimately chose to return to her family's company to avoid marriage. Barox's visit was scheduled for Sunday, but before meeting him, Candice had to meet someone else—Darius.

They had arranged to meet at a coffee shop. Candice deliberately chose a bright and loose casual outfit. When she arrived, Darius seemed a bit surprised as he asked, "Is this how badly you've been doing since leaving Alex?"

It had been a long time since she heard Alex’s name from someone else. Candice paused but quickly changed the subject. "Why did you ask to meet?"

Darius glanced at her with a casual sneer and did not pry further. He tossed a document in front of Candice, saying, "Help me with something."

His haughty attitude wasn't friendly, but Candice didn't argue. She opened the document to find a project—not in Solaris but in South City.

"I'm not part of your company," Candice remarked.
