Chapter 0075
“Alex?” Candice had just wanted to speak when she suddenly heard Sonia’s voice.
She raised her eyes and looked, and saw Sonia was standing not far away with her luggage. Her face became pale as she looked at them.
Alex was quite surprised to see Sonia there. He paused before letting go of his arms that were holding Candice. He walked over to Sonia and asked, “Why are you here?”
“…” Sonia glanced at Candie and then saw Alex frowning. Her eyes were red as she sobbed, “I have some vacation days left, so I wanted to come over and accompany you, but…”
She extended her hand and grabbed Alex’s clothes and would glance at Candice every once in a while, as if
she had suffered much.
Sieg, who was at the side, interrupted them and said. “When I said I was coming yesterday, Sonia said that she wanted to come immediately.”
He then teased Alex and said, “You must be having a great time, right? This is such a great surprise! Your girlfriend traveled all the way here to visit you.”
Alex didn’t answer him and simply took the luggage from Sonia’s hand and said in a deep voice, “I’ll take you
upstairs to rest.”
Sonia’s eyes were still red as she looked at Alex.
Alex paused and said, “We’ll talk when we’re upstairs.”
The vibe between them was loving, as if they had forgotten that Candice was nearby.
It was not until Sonia passed by that Candice greeted her with a stiff voice. Only then did Sonia acknowledge
her presence.
She watched as Alex considerately took Sonia’s luggage and suddenly felt a discomfort in her wrist.
She guessed it had to have happened when she subconsciously resisted being in Alex’s arms, causing her hand to press against his chest.
Since Sonia was here, Candice thought that given Alex’s personality, he would tell Sonia to follow him after
that.
But surprisingly, when it was lunch, Alex then called her down.
“Ms. Renault,” Sonia said with a sweet smile. But if one were to take a more careful look, one would notice
that her makeup was lighter, and her accessories were much more valuable. She also looked much more
mature than before.
From the looks of it, Alex had probably explained everything.
When Candice looked around and didn’t see Alex, she nodded and asked, “Isn’t Alex around?”

“He’s on a call” Sonia said as she scanned Candice, with a curious look in her eyes.
Candice had nothing much to say to her in the first place. She then pretended not to see her curiosity and simply looked at her mobile.
hotel.
Alex said nothing and simply walked in.
Sonia then walked next to Candice and asked, “Ms. Renault, who’s this Ms. Burgess?”
Who else?
There was already an answer in her mind, but she still said, “A work partner.”
Sonia heaved a sigh, but before she could even feel at rest, she saw Nina waiting in the meeting room.
Nina glanced at Sonia before moving her sight to Candice. “You’re willing to come to work today? How rare.”
Candice’s hand was still injured and hadn’t recovered. While she was already quite upset with Nina, she
remained composed and put the documents in front of Alex. She then said, “I am Mr. Elysian’s secretary. This is my job.”
Nina sneered and said, “Normal people can’t afford to have a secretary like you.”
Candice knew she was talking about what had happened earlier, but Sonia didn’t.
She looked at Candice and Nina suspiciously before walking over to Alex’s side and said, “Alex, I don’t want to bother you. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Alex looked up and then gave a document to her. “No need.”
And then, he looked at Candice and said emotionlessly. “You may leave.”
