My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 0081

“Helen said that Ms. Candice is someone that you personally trained. She should be able to handle the matters in Stugan City, correct?”

Candice didn’t expect that Ava would shift the topic of conversation to her. But she could tell by Ava’s cool expression that if Alex left, they could no longer be sure about the status of the deal.

Alex was as calm as always as he raised his eyes, looked at Candice, and said in a nonchalant tone, “He’s not in the position to do so.”

Candice was just a secretary. She was unable to replace Alex when negotiating about certain big projects. In the past, when she was with Alex, she would normally simply stay by his side unless it was approved by him in the first place.

Ava didn’t expect him to answer her like that. Her expression became tense as Alex continued, “Aether Corporation is sincere in this partnership. It’s fine if you need more time to think about it, but I still hope you could hasten up a bit since there are plenty of businesses in Stugan City as well.”

With that, he turned to look at Candice.

Candice knew what he meant. He felt that there was no point in continuing with the dinner anymore and wanted to leave.

She once again put on her professional smile and reminded Alex, “We have another teleconference at half past nine.”

Alex nodded, then politely said goodbye to Ava before leaving with Candice.

As soon as Candice left the private room, she said, “I’ll get the bill.”

Alex gave her a grunt as he looked at his phone, not pausing in his steps.

Candice only left after she had paid the bill. But when she reached the door, she noticed that the rain was starting again.

She looked around and finally saw Alex and Sonia in a corner.

Sonia had been provoked by the mother and daughter and she was not in a good place. Her entire face was pale, and it looked like she would faint at any time.

Candice walked over, glanced at her, and then asked, “When are you leaving?”

now.”
