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

Chapter 0328

The huge office was already empty, and Helen's voice was so loud that it was difficult for Candice to pretend that she didn’t hear it.

In fact, she had always been more familiar with Helen than a stranger. In the past, she had always wanted to have a good relationship with Helen because of Alex. Later on, she had discovered that no matter what she did, Helen would still look down on her. So she had stopped trying so hard to please her.

At most, during the Elysian family dinner and when Helen asked her to help, she would interact with her a little. But most of the time, Candice had just treated getting along with Helen as a job. After all, after treating it as a job, she could always be more tolerant.

Seeing that Candice had no reaction at all, Helen's delicately made-up face was filled with contempt. She turned to Nina and said, "When you get married to Alex in the future, you have to manage him. The company is an important place. How can just anyone be allowed in?"

Nina's eyes followed Helen's to Candice. She raised her eyebrows, as if watching a good show. "I don't know the rules of Aether, but my mother's company will not allow fired staff to return." She raised her chin slightly, and her scornful attitude was exactly the same as Helen’s. "I heard that you have been coming to Aether a lot recently due to work reasons?” she said to Candice. “It is indeed a good way to pretend to retreat in order to advance."

There was no emotion in Candice's eyes. She glanced at Nina coldly. "I am responsible for the cooperation between Aether and Burning Star. If Miss Burgess and Mrs. Elysian are so dissatisfied, they can directly go to Mr. Elysian to cancel the cooperation. As long as the price of breaking the contract is met, Burning Star naturally would not mind." Her voice was calm, and she simply sat down opposite Helen and Nina. "If Miss Burgess and Mrs. Elysian are really able to make Mr. Elysian terminate the contract, Burning Star will also be very grateful to you. After all, the amount for

breaking the contract will be triple the cost. I would like to thank you two first on behalf of the studio."

Candice spoke calmly. However, Helen's expression suddenly changed at her words. She glared at Candice. "What right do you have to make demands on me?"

"Mrs. Elysian seems to have made a mistake." Candice said softly. "I haven’t made any demands or conditions, I just gave you two a suggestion. Since you two don’t want to see me appear in Aether so much, then why not terminate the contract——”

Halfway through Candice's words, a steady sound of footsteps sounded.

Then came the man's low and oppressive voice. "Terminate the contract? Candice, are you treating Aether as a fool?" Alex approached, his expression cold. His eyes paused on Candice for a moment, then focused on Helen. "What's the matter?" he asked.

Seeing his attitude, a hint of displeasure immediately flashed on Helen's face. Considering that Nina was still present, she endured the anger in her heart and said, "Nina said she wanted to learn from you, So I brought her over. You two will be getting married in the future anyway, getting to know each other would be good too."

Alex looked at her expressionlessly, his deep black eyes were dark and gloomy, his jawline was clearly taut. His dark gray formal jacket made him look a little stern. He looked at Nina and said in a deep voice, "Is Ms. Goodman's company not enough for you to learn from?"

Nina's red lips curled up in a slight arc, and she said with a smile. "What can I learn from my family? They don't dare to let me do things. Alex, can you teach me? Don't worry about my mother. You can do whatever that should be done."

"Nina wants to follow you, so you take her with you. It'll be good to cultivate some feelings too." Helen picked up where Nina left off and did not forget to add another sentence. "Just in case some people still have unrealistic expectations."

The last words were obviously meant for Candice. Helen had grown up with a silver spoon since she was a child, and had developed a snobbish personality. Later, coupled with the incident involving Daniel Elysian, she was even more sure that family background was of great importance.

She looked down on Candice's social standing from the bottom of her heart.

"Aether is busy with business. I do not have time to be someone's teacher." Alex's expression did not change and there was no less iciness in his gaze either.

"Alex——" Helen's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.

But she was persuaded by Nina who was next to her. "Aunt Helen, it's normal for Alex to have such thoughts. After all, a company like Aether must have a lot of things going on." She looked at Alex. "I heard that Aether recruits interns every quarter. I can start as an intern." Although Nina lowered her standards, her tone when she spoke did not sound like she wanted to discuss it. Instead, it was more like she had made a decision directly and informed Alex.

There was no emotion in Alex's dark eyes. After a moment, he said casually, "It's up to you."

A slight smile appeared on Nina's face. "Okay, thank you, Mr. Elysian." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The calmness in Nina's tone made Candice unable to help but look at her one more time. Nina noticed her gaze and looked back calmly, but she still did not hide the determination to win in her eyes.

Candice lowered her gaze and did not look at Nina again. She came because she had other things to do, and she was not very concerned about what Nina was doing in Aether.

"If you have nothing else to do, then leave." Alex's toneless voice sounded.

Candice looked up and met his cold eyes.

Alex looked at her, his casualness gone, and he became more serious. "If you want to dissolve the contract, get Hanley to send the contract himself."

Candice hesitated, before letting out a breath. "I'm looking for you for other reasons."

"Speak."

There was no expression on Alex's face. Candice was silent for a while. Regardless of whether Helen or Nina were still there, she asked directly. "Why did you stop me from suing Sonia?" She asked in a straightforward manner, and looked at Alex calmly.

Candice originally thought that Alex would react somewhat when he heard her question, but he remained cold and answered her without any fluctuation in his voice. "Do I still need to help you?"

Candice's eyes flickered for a moment. "She leaked Aether's information. Didn't Aether suffer enough losses?"

Alex looked at her condescendingly. It was difficult to tell his current mood. He only said, "I didn't mind Aether's loss, so why would you care?" The corners of his lips moved mockingly, and he reminded her calmly. "Candice, you have nothing to do with Aether anymore, you don't need to worry."

After he said this, Candice felt suffocated. She took a moment to master her feelings before whispering, "Yes, I have nothing to do with Aether, but Sonia indirectly killed my grandfather. What does this have to do with you, that you would want to protect her?" Candice's words were a little low, as if she was suppressing some emotion, but every word was spoken very clearly. She looked

at Alex and asked word by word. "Alex, what is so good about Sonia that makes you so indifferent to right from wrong?"
