My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 51

Chapter 0051

Candice was well aware that her current situation wasn’t great, so she didn’t dare to act strong.

She nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Jackson lifted Candice steadily. Although Candice was tall, she was slender. Jackson was well over six feet, so he made her look petite in his arms.

As Jackson held Candice, she looked up and happened to meet Alex’s dark and cold eyes. Candice hesitated for a moment, then averted her eyes.

“Lex?” Sonia tugged at Alex’s sleeve, softly reminding him, “Didn’t you say you made plans to have dinner with Sieg?”

Alex turned away. He glanced at Sonia and grunted, then headed towards the car.

Sonia pursed her lips slightly after giving Jackson and Candice a brief glance. But she soon relaxed and linked arms with Alex.

It was as if she were declaring some kind of dominance.

Candice followed Jackson to the hospital. Her previous sprained ankle had been aggravated, and the doctor sternly warned her not to wear high heels.

Candice felt bad and apologetically said, “Sorry. I know we planned to have dinner together.”

“It’s good. Your health is more important,” Jackson said as he helped her up, “Can you walk?”

Candice changed into flat shoes and managed to walk, albeit with difficulty.

Dinner plans fell through, and Jackson had no choice but to escort her home. However, Candice couldn’t drive due to her foot injury.

“I’ll drive you to work tomorrow,” Jackson insisted.

“No need, I’ll take a cab.” Candice was hesitant to trouble him.

“You’ll have to walk a few hundred meters to catch a cab from here. Are you sure?” Jackson disagreed with

her words. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Candice’s protests were in vain. Sure enough, Jackson arrived on time the next morning.

As he drove Candice to the company, he said, “I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”

Uncomfortable with the arrangement, Candice was about to decline when she noticed Alex’s Maybach

stopping nearby.

Every morning, Alex would pick up Sonia and accompany her to the company. Initially, there was gossip about

it, but people got used to it over time.

Candice looked down and entered the company. Not even a few steps later, she heard rhythmic footsteps

“You’re quite clever,” he paused beside her, his tone indifferent as he uttered these words.

Candice’s heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged. “I sprained my foot. I can’t drive.”

Alex scoffed. “What’s that got to do with me?”

Candice clenched her fist before forcing herself to calm down. “Weren’t you the one asking?”

Alex didn’t reply. He walked ahead, and Candice turned to see Sonia heading towards the coffee shop downstairs. Sonia’s eyes lingered on her, and there was a cautious glint in them.

She was probably speculating about what Alex had just said to her.

Due to her injured foot, Candice spent the whole day at her desk. After all, she was unable to move around easily.

During the lunch break, she overheard colleagues discussing that the power would be cut off for electrical maintenance in the afternoon, so they should leave early.

However, a pile of documents suddenly arrived from upstairs in the afternoon. Candice was so busy with work that she forgot about the impending power outage.

It wasn’t until the office lights went out that she realized.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was Jackson, and he asked, “Candice, haven’t you come down yet? They said there’s an electrical maintenance.”

Candice had night blindness, which meant she had problems seeing clearly at night. However, she could still see enough in the dim light.

She slowly packed her things and replied, “I’m coming down soon.”

Jackson was one of the few who knew about her night blindness. He said, “It’s okay. Wait for me. I’ll come up.”

The weather wasn’t great today, and the office lights dimmed quickly. Candice dared not move and sat at her desk, waiting.

Soon, footsteps approached the door. Thinking it was Jackson and afraid that he might not know where she was, she called out, “I’m here.”
