Chapter 107

Alex’s tone was casual and his gaze rested on Candice.

Candice paused and asked him, “What do you want?”

Alex’s eyelids drooped, and he picked up the tea cup in front of him and played with it. Then he said

casually, Since you have time to invite friends to dinner, it seems that the matter should be almost

settled?”

Candice frowned slightly, and when she was about to speak, she heard Hanley next to her answer in a

serious. tone. “Mr. Elysian’s company is so strict, and employees have to be questioned even when

they eat. How typical of Aether.”

His tone was indifferent, and it sounded like small talk, but what he actually meant was that Alex was

caring at

little too much out of his jurisdiction.

Candice was a little surprised. She always thought Hanley had a good personality, but this was the first

time Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

she heard him say such things.

Alex’s gaze turned to Hanley, and after a moment he sneered. “You’re not that different either.”

The tone of his voice was full of sarcasm, implying that Hanley was nosy.

The atmosphere at the table was a little tense for a while. Fortunately, the waiter was good at reading

people

and said softly, “Excuse me, we have a few special dishes in our hotel. Maybe you can try them.”

Candice had no plans of ordering anymore, so she returned the menu and let the waiter arrange it.

After the waiter left with the menu, Sonia suddenly called out to Candice.

Candice raised her eyes and saw Sonia with her hands on her cheeks, looking at her with a gossipy

and

curious look. “Candice, did you and your friend meet in Noxville?”

Although she asked this question, the happiness in her eyes showed that she was already sure of the

answer

in her heart.

Candice asked her without changing expression, “Is there any problem with knowing each other in

Noxville?”

“No.” Sonia seemed to be even more certain. She said, in a good mood, “That only proves that your

communication skills are really strong, unlike me who is a bit socially anxious and dare not go out

without Lex.

She sounded a little aggrieved when she said the second half of the sentence, but the whole thing

insinuated that Candice’s private life was chaotic and disorderly.

Otherwise, how could she possibly meet new male friends after only a few days In Noxville?

Candice picked up the lemonade on the aule and sipped it calmly. “You have been studying in the

secretariat for so long and your communication skill so poor. You should really reflect on it.”

Sonia did not expect Candice to refuter like this, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.

She frowned and looked at Candice, but could not help glancing at Hanley next to her.

She curled her fingers and then whispered, “I will study hard, Candice.”

Candice’s good mood today was ruined by Sonia, so she was inevitably a little rude when she spoke.

She said, “Verbal promises are useless. There is no shortage of people in the secretariat, especially

beautiful and capable female interns.”

Candice spelled out the words “beautiful and capable female interns” very clearly, and Sonia’s

expression instantly turned ugly.

Candice paused and said, “If I remember correctly, you have not become a regular employee yet,

right?”

“Who are you to worry about her becoming a full–time employee?” As soon as Candice finished

speaking. Alex’s mocking voice sounded.

He looked at Candice with no emotion in his eyes. “Take care of yourself.”

Candice’s eyelashes trembled, then she pursed her lips and stopped making any sound.

Sonia had just been criticized by Candice, and she no longer asked for trouble.

Only Hanley looked calm, and even poured some more water for Candice, telling her, “The high fever

has just subsided, so you can drink more water.”

Candice looked at him. “Thank you.”
