Candice took a moment to remember who Susan was.
Yana's ex-boyfriend, Mason, had betrayed Yana because of this woman.
She spoke gently, "You're capable, and in the business world, socializing and relationships are the most important, and you have both."
Yana laughed. "I think so too."

The day before Yana left, she came to have a meal with Candice. However, Candice received a call from Darius, who asked her to accompany Bella for dinner.
Although Candice was puzzled why Darius would ask her, she still asked Yana to help take care of Ellis and went by herself.
Darius had arranged to meet at a restaurant. When Candice arrived, she saw Bella, but Darius was also there.
However, as soon as Darius saw her, he stood up and touched Bella's head. "Eat well, I'll come to pick you up later."
Bella agreed softly, and Darius turned to Candice. "She hasn't been eating well lately. You can chat with her. I'll come to pick her up at eight-thirty."
Candice had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with what Darius said, but she could not figure out what the problem was in a short period.
After Darius left, she sat down opposite Bella and said, "I heard that you asked me to come and have dinner with you. What's the matter?"
Bella held the cup awkwardly and said in a very soft voice, "Sorry, I just... just wanted to..."
Candice looked at her and picked up the menu next to her. "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Bella hesitated and said, "Anything is fine."
After Candice finished ordering, she seemed to want to say something more, when Bella bit her lip and shook her head slightly, then pointed at a butterfly brooch on her clothes.
Her distinct eyes looked at Candice with longing. Candice's gaze fell and realized that there was a listening device on the butterfly brooch.
Bella obviously had something to say, and she could not let the person on the other end of the device hear it.
