Chapter 0151

Unaware that Alex was also present, Candice sat in the car for a while, preparing to drive, when she

received a call from her grandfather.

Since her grandfather had been discharged from the hospital, Candice had been busy these past few

days and had not visited him much.

Adjusting her emotions, she answered, “Grandpa?”

Her grandfather’s voice sounded much older and weaker than before. He asked her, “Do you have

time the day after tomorrow?”

Candice’s heart sank. The day after tomorrow was the anniversary of her grandmother’s passing. and

in her recent state of irritability, she had almost forgotten.

Her grandfather and grandmother had a close relationship. After her grandmother’s death, her

grandfather had been living alone.

Every year on the anniversary of her grandmother’s passing, her grandfather would invite Candice to

visit her grandmother together.

Candice’s voice softened involuntarily as she replied, “I’ll come to pick you up the morning after

tomorrow.

Blue Artifact was not in the city center but in the nearby suburbs. Candice had agreed to meet with the

person in charge at two o’clock, and she still had five minutes when she arrived. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Candice touched up before heading inside.

The person in charge, who was called Zane Clark, was already waiting at the entrance.

Candice put on a professional smile, “Mr. Clark, nice to meet you. I’m Candice Renault from Aether

Corporation, responsible for coordinating with Blue Artifact this time.”

Zane was in his thirties with a refined temperament. He shook hands with Candice and then

asked, “Is Ms. Renault the only one coming? Wasn’t Mr. Elysian supposed to be joining us?”

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard from behind, and Alex’s cold, deep voice

said, “Mr. Clark.”

Zane saw Alex and immediately greeted him, “Mr. Elysian, I was just asking Ms. Renault why you had

yet to arrive.”

Alex said, “Sorry for the delay. I had to handle some matters that suddenly arose.”

Candice stood still and did not turn around throughout the whole exchange.

Right now, seeing Alex or even hearing his voice made her feel physically uncomfortable.

Zane led Alex inside. As they passed by Candice, the familiar scent of cedar that she had grown

accustomed to suddenly became as piercing as a blizzard, making her throat ache.

Alex hesitated for a moment beside her and then followed Zane inside.

Sawyer approached, and seeing Candice still stationary, whispered a reminder, “Candice, Mr. Elysian

has already gone in.”

However, Candice stood there, wanting to turn around and leave.

She exerted a considerable effort to restrain herself from showing an unsightly expression, closed her

eyes, nodded, and her voice sounded hoarse. “Why did you all come to Blue Artifact?”

“Mr. Elysian had scheduled a meeting with Blue Artifact’s person in charge in the morning.”

Candice understood now. Alex had never intended to truly hand over the matter with Blue Artifact to her

from the beginning.

Otherwise, he would not have been in contact with Blue Artifact and kept everything from her.

‘You’re like a clown,‘ Candice silently mocked herself.

It seemed that Blue Artifact had also been affected. Therefore, when Zane communicated with Alex, he

revealed quite a bit of information.

This included the fact that more than just Aether was here to negotiate with Blue Artifact–there were

several other companies of comparable abilities to Aether.

Zane seemed to be a smooth operator, not revealing everything but also not holding back. He probably

wanted to choose the best option among several companies.

Candice lowered her head to look at the documents, her lips pressed tightly together.

Ever since she had entered, she had kept her head down, focusing on the documents and not lifting

her gaze to look at Alex even once.
