Chapter 47

Jackson had mentioned introducing friends to Candice, and he did Introduce a few.

Everyone got along well initially, but when the topic of salary arose, there was a clear gap expectation

between the two parties.

Jackson felt somewhat embarrassed, but Candice didn’t mind. After all, finding a satisfying job was not

that

simple.

“Candice.” Kayla tapped the desktop and called Candice. “Mr. Elysian is asking if the meeting room is

ready.”

“Yeah,” Candice handed her a copy of the meeting minutes, “The meeting records are here, but Alex

should be

bringing Sonia over.”

Kayla was surprised. “Aren’t you going?”

“I have other things to do,” Candice replied casually. The secretary’s office had a lot of work, and she

was

always busy.

After Kayla left, Candice proofread two documents and was about to go to the pantry when she saw

Kayla

hurriedly returning.

Seeing Candice, she exclaimed, “Candice, quickly go to the meeting room. One of the meeting

documents is

missing, and Mr. Elysian is very angry.”

Candice didn’t prepare the meeting room documents, but Kayla still pulled her over.

When they arrived, the meeting room was quiet. Alex had a cold look, and the atmosphere was tense.

The client hadn’t arrived yet, but Alex, who came down first, noticed a missing document.

Candice checked the time; the meeting was starting in five minutes.

“Mr. Elysian,” Sonia suddenly said softly. She held a record book and was dressed professionally. She

looked a bit more mature than before.

Candice had nothing to do with this meeting. She intended to turn back, but Sonia said, “Candice

scheduled this meeting. She should have the information.”

Candice paused; indeed, she had scheduled this meeting during her time in the CEO’s secretary office.

However, when she was transferred, she handed everything over to Julle and Sonia.

Alex remained silent with a displeased expression. His dark eyes coldly stared at Candice, who pursed

her lips. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“I transferred the information to Sonia.” Candice knew Alex’s temper and added, “I can’t access any of

your

information now.”

Alex’s expression worsened.

This meeting was crucial, or Candice wouldn’t have scheduled it so early.

He was genuinely upset. Sonia shrank into herself and dared not speak.

The colleague responsible for reception led the clients towards them. The atmosphere in the meeting

room

was tense.

Candice lowered her eyes. Taking the record book from Kayla, she calmly walked to Alex’s side and

said softly. “I roughly remember the contents of the documents.”

Having worked at Aether Corporation for many years, Candice was adept at remembering documents.

However, with her as a recorder in the meeting room, Sonia had to leave.

As Sonia exited, her eyes flashed with an unclear meaning.

When the colleague ushered in the clients, Candice saw a somewhat familiar face among the people.

Marc Freeman.

He also noticed Candice and gave her a shy smile.

With Candice present, the lost document’s content was supplemented.

After the meeting, Alex looked at her indifferently and said, “Come to my office.”

Candice calmly followed him, but once inside the office, Alex sneered at her, “I thought you didn’t want

to work

anymore.”

Candice’s recent attitude had become noticeably more negative, and there were rumors flying around

that she

wanted to resign.

“No.” Candice’s expression remained unchanged as she placed the record book on the table. “The

records are here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”

“Candice.”

With how she acted, Alex couldn’t help but grit his teeth. She now wore a deadpan expression as if she

lifeless.

It made him angry whenever he looked at her.

So, he stopped her and said coldly, “Are you trying to act all aloof in front of me?”

Candice looked down. She cleared her throat and said softly, “You told me not to bother you if there

was

nothing.”

Alex’s face darkened. He stared intently at Candice, seemingly trying to find a flaw in her face.

Unfortunately, there was none.

Impatience flickered in his eyes. He leaned back and said in a strained tone. “Get out.”

Candice left without hesitation. As she passed by Sonia’s desk, she felt Sonia’s guarded gaze on her.

Back downstairs, Kayla looked at Candice with admiration, “Candice, you were so imposing just now!”

Candice didn’t care much about Kayla’s words. “Did you deliver the files I gave you this morning?”

As she finished speaking, a colleague outside called for Candice, “Candice, someone is looking for

you.”

Candice didn’t expect Marc to return and look for her again.

Marc’s company was also on the invitation list for the meeting this time, and Candice had just seen

him.

However, they were not particularly familiar with each other.

Marc seemed nervous. He stammered as he greeted Candice; “I-I heard you’ve been looking into art

exhibitions lately.

“I have an uncle in the business. If you’re interested, I can introduce you.”

Honestly, Candice didn’t have a deep impression of Marc; she just remembered him often being with

Sieg.

She politely nodded. “Thank you, but not for now.”

Marc looked a bit disappointed, “Is it that you’re too busy?”

He genuinely admired Candice and had been wanting to make amends since the incident at the hotel

when he

spoke harshly to her.

But since Candice refused his help. Marc could only leave with regret.

After seeing him off, Candice returned to the office and found that Alex had come down.

He was tall and exuded an aura of authority in every gesture. When not smiling, he seemed especially

arrogant.

Candice paused in her steps before approaching him.

Alex looked at her with mockery in his eyes. “Arranging dates during working hours, huh? You sure

have some

skills.”

The remark was blunt and unpleasant.

Candice fist involuntarily curled up. “You know Marc.”

“The Freeman family is a humble one. Are you really interested in someone like him?” Alex lightly

taunted.

Candice tightened her grip on the cup in her hand.

After looking at Alex for a while, she forced herself to calm down and ask, “Did you need something

from me?”

Alex threw a document at her. “Handle the proposal for Silver Ocean Industries.”

Silver Ocean Industries was a rising star in the financial district of Dorrington City. Candice flipped

through the document.

She was about to ask something when Alex added, “Bring Sonia with you.”

Candice was momentarily stunned, and then she understood.

Alex remembered her comment about Sonia lacking practical experience and not being considered an

So, he wanted her to be involved in the tasks in name only.

If Candice and Sonia worked on the proposal together, Sonia’s name would appear on them, even if

she was just making tea on the side.

Candice’s hand trembled a little. She bit her lip and looked up at Alex.

“What if I refuse?”

Alex’s icy gaze swept over her features, and then he sneered, looking down at Candice.

“Do you have a choice?”

Indeed.

Candice had no choice. As long as she remained an employee of Aether Corporation, she had to follow

Alex’s orders.
