My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 529

Alex's voice was hoarse, and his tone was unlike anything before. Candice knew he was drunk.

She wanted to push Alex away, but there was no way. Hence, she could only maintain this difficult position and say, "Alex, you're drunk."

"Mmm, I know." Alex's hand, which had been caressing her neck, slowly fell, then stopped at her back.

Candice closed her eyes. She said, "I heard about the matter with Aether Corporation..."

Before she could finish, he pinched the soft flesh around her waist. His voice was muffled, and the hot breath between his words brushed against Candice's skin. "I don't want to hear it."

"You came to find me, so besides these meaningless matters, do you have anything else to say?"

With his eyes closed, Alex pressed Candice against the door. The door blocked out the chaos outside, but it also made the already narrow room even narrower.

Alex asked her, " I don't want to hear about work, Daniel, Hanley, and those things and people. You only talk about these things in front of me, don't you have anything else to say that I like?"

Candice pursed her lips slightly and reminded him, "You're really drunk. I can call Sawyer or Sieg to come."

"What if it's Justin?" Alex suddenly asked, his hand unconsciously trembling as it pinched Candice's waist, lifting his eyes abruptly to force her to meet his gaze.

"Sieg just mentioned that Justin is coming back. What will you say when you see him?"

She paused and asked him, "Why should I say anything to Justin?"

She keenly felt that something was wrong and remembered Sieg's mention of Justin just now.

Alex's fingertips stiffened, a black storm brewing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and lowered his voice, "You were with Justin before, you liked him."

He paused and added, "At that time, we were still together."

Candice was stunned, then furrowed her brows. She forcefully pushed away Alex's restraint, her eyes glossy from the kiss earlier.

Her words were stripped of emotions, and only coldness and mockery remained.

She stared at him. "Alex, do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"

"Who told you that I was with Justin? Are you trying to humiliate me with such disgusting things, or are you humiliating yourself?"

Candice now understood why Sieg had that expression when he mentioned Justin just now.

She closed her eyes, feeling nauseous.

If Sieg hadn't mentioned Justin's name just now, she would have almost forgotten about him.

But now that she thought about it, it made her uncomfortable.

Justin was the first client she had dealt with back when she was working under Francis.

A notorious playboy with no real skills, he was keen on various indulgences and womanizing.

Candice was naive back then and naturally became his target.

She had applied several times to be replaced by someone else, but Francis had always refused as Justin's interest in Candice was growing.
