My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 533

Candice paused. "He's discharged from the hospital after recovering. What's the big deal?"

"You're right, but Sieg said he shouldn't have been discharged now. His condition isn't stable yet; it was his own insistence."

Yana spoke as she looked at Candice.

She felt a sigh in her heart. She didn't expect Alex to end up like this.

Since Alex had sent Daniel to court for Candice's sake, his reputation in the circle had been polarized.

Although the older generation all said Alex was heartless, the younger generation thought Alex was quite remarkable.

He had courage, and he was devoted.

Although more people were just spectators, there were still quite a few who envied Candice.

Despite all that, Candice seemed indifferent. She packed her and Ellis's luggage then turned to Yana and said, "It seems I won't be able to attend your promotion celebration dinner. So, congratulations in advance."

Yana changed the subject, feeling emotional. "Well, there's nothing we can do. We'll have to wait until next year to get together."

"Oh, by the way, isn't Hanley going back to Dorrington City next month? I thought you two might meet, but it turns out you missed each other."

Candice said, "I'm just going abroad; it's not like we won't see each other. He'll come overseas later, and I'll invite him to dinner then."

Yana winked at her. "So, when will you and Hanley get together?"

Candice was stunned. She hadn't been in a good mood lately and hadn't contacted Hanley much.

Seeing her not answering, Yana furrowed her brows and asked again, "What's with that expression? Did you two have a fight?"

Candice shook her head. "No."

"You scared me. I thought you two had a fight."

She lowered her gaze to her phone screen and didn't respond further to Yana's words.

The day she left Dorrington City, her flight was at 7:30 in the morning, but by the time she arrived back home, it was still daytime.

The housekeeper had been waiting for her. Candice handed Ellis to her and went to freshen up.

Long flights were uncomfortable, especially with such a large time difference.

But even lying in bed, Candice couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

During her absence, work had piled up. She had been leaving early and returning late, almost spending every day at the office.

The tasks on Darius's side were heavy, and Candice had to report some work to him regularly, knowing she was still in Dorrington City.

"Alex mentioned cooperation with me recently. What do you think?" Darius asked leisurely.

Candice could tell from his tone that he had already made up his mind about everything. She said, "If you think it's okay, then it's okay."

Darius chuckled. "I thought you would be unhappy, so I wanted to ask your opinion."

Candice asked, "What if I disagree?"

Darius raised an eyebrow. "That's your business."

The implication was that whether she agreed or not, he didn't care. He was just asking for the sake of appearances.

Candice lowered her eyelashes and said expressionlessly, "It's up to you."

Darius glanced at her meaningfully. "Then be prepared."
