The window of the room was left open. Wind from the outside came through the opening. Candice who

was clad in a thin bathrobe, felt a slight flutter against her body.

Candice was slightly stunned. She didn’t understand what Alex was saying.

She glared at him before slowly saying, “What do you want?”

Alex didn’t mind when he didn’t get the answer he wanted to hear.

He snorted. “You left during working hours. Why do you think I’m here?”

He was here for what had happened in the afternoon.

Candice looked into Alex’s icy eyes, and she couldn’t tell what he was feeling at the time.

However, in the afternoon, Alex left her alone in anger and took Nina to see the client.

Candice pursed her lips and spoke softly, “I thought Ms. Burgess alone was enough.”

Hearing Candice say that, Alex raised an eyebrow and said, “Nina’s not a company staff.”

Candice didn’t understand what he meant by that. Instead, she asked. “Isn’t she your secretary now?”

Alex said nothing. He looked at Candice with some thoughts running in his mind and chuckled. “That

bothered you?”

His tone was sharp. Candice couldn’t help but shudder when his words were mixed with the cold wind

from the outside.

She slowly turned to close the window and didn’t answer Alex’s question.

What was there to be said when her job had been taken away?

What was the point, even if she was bothered?

The window was shut, and the deafening wind from outside was muffled. Before she could even turn

around. she could already hear the man’s low tone. “It doesn’t matter, even if it bothers you. Candice,

you’re in no position to act willfully with me.”

Candice’s hands tightened on the window handles. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them back

up. Then she turned around and looked at Alex.

“Mr. Elysian, isn’t it too inappropriate to continuously appear in the room of your staff at night?”

When she said that, her eyes were fixed on him.

Candice’s haughty glare made her look like she was keeping her distance.

She was standing up, and Alex was sitting down. Candice’s eyes followed him as she slightly frowned.

Alex didn’t like how Candice was pressuring him. He stood up with a stony expression. He walked over

He slightly bent down, his dark eyes looking at Candice without blinking. His sight was on her face,

unmoved.

“Only now you’re acting like an innocent girl after sleeping with me for so long?” The two of them were

back up and raise her chin, wanting to leave Alex’s vicinity.

And then Alex held the back of her head. He put some strength into it and pushed her head back.

His eyes looked at Candice’s head, and he kept rubbing his thumb on her neck. “I’ve seen all that you

have to

offer. Is there a point to this act?”

Candice’s figure straightened up as she clenched her fists. Only after a long time did she say with

difficulty.”

Alex, can you please not do that?”

She then shut her eyes embarrassingly. She had stayed with Alex for many years… They had done

everything. that couples did.

In the past, she had believed that she and Alex knew each other inside out. Those were moments they

treasured.

But now, he used their past to say that she was merely acting.

There was pressure on Candice’s chest, pressing her. She felt she could hardly breathe. Alex glared at

her for a moment before letting go in agitation.

A ringtone broke the icy atmosphere in the room.

Alex glanced at the mobile on the coffee table. With a smile, he picked it up.

The moment the call went through, Sonia’s joyful voice came through. “Alex, did you have your

dinner?”

Alex let out a mm-hmm and then he glanced at Candice’s face.

Candice regained her composure. Her eyes were slightly red and her face was pale as well. When her

eyes met Alex’s, she immediately turned around and got into the restroom, even if it was only a

moment.
