“Sonia Summers, don’t you know what to say and what not to say? Candice’s tone was slightly
cold.
Most of Aether’s people knew about her non–compete agreement, yet Sons suggesting that she had
been poached by another company,
If it was not foolishness, it was intentional.
Sonia was frightened by Candice’s stern tone. She pursed her lips, feeling at a loss, and said
hesitantly. “Candice, I didn’t mean anything else, just…
She seemed unsure how to continue, so she simply lowered her head, standing in front of Candice with
an appearance of letting herself be criticized.
Unable to tolerate it, Kayla could not help but speak up. “Ms. Summers, you were the one who
misspoke. Now, you’re acting as if you’ve suffered a great grievance. Do you think that is Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
appropriate?”
Candice kept her cold expression as she said, “If there’s nothing else, go back to work.”
Due to Sonia’s interference, Candice felt irritated. Alex had told her that she had to either train Sonia or
find someone else to replace her.
Her temples were throbbing in pain slightly.
Her gaze shifted to the materials on Blue Artifact which were on the table. Candice pursed her lips and
picked up her phone to send a message to Mr. Clark, wanting to make a dinner appointment.
Zane was a little elusive, giving the excuse that he might have something on later in the night and
would reply later.
With such obvious hints, Candice could not disagree and could only say that she would wait for
his reply with a smile.
Candice felt her heart sink. Just as she was about to make further arrangements for her handover
documents. Tamia came over.
She tapped on Candice’s table have to disturb you for a bit. Could you follow me
. “Sorry, I’ll
to HR?”
Candice was in her resignation period and knew that there were quite a bit of procedures to deal with.
So, she nodded and followed Tamia downstairs.

“Sigh. With you leaving, there won’t be many new interns either.” Once they entered the elevator.
Tamia started speaking.
During the interview the last time, the quality of the interns had not been too great. Candice hummed in
agreement. “Graduation season is just around the corner. There will be no lack of
interns.”
“What do you mean there will be no lack? All the good ones would have long been taken.” Tamia
replied and looked at Candice. She still felt that Candice leaving was a pity. “What do you plan to
do after your resignation?”
“Trying to dig up information from me?” Candice frowned slightly.
Tamia waved her hand in disagreement. “Am I not looking for you due to the non–compete
agreement? I have to verify the information.”
With this agreement, Candice could not work in other companies of a similar nature, and Tamia
could not help but feel curious.
Candice was unfazed. “I haven’t quite decided. We’ll see.”
At the HR, she settled her matters and returned to her office, only to find Alex waiting.
She hesitated momentarily before lowering her gaze and continuing her movements.
“Candice. Mr. Elysian wants me to follow him for socializing tonight. Is that alright?” At the right time,
Sonia’s mellow voice echoed in the office.
Without having to raise her head, Candice could feel Alex’s sharp gaze on her head.
Candice’s shoulders were straight as she answered coldly. “It is Mr. Elysian’s freedom to choose.
whoever he wishes to bring along.”
Sonia said, “I am only worried that something might go wrong. After all, Mr. Elysian said that this
meeting is quite important. It seems like the owner of Blue Artifact, which our company wants to work
with, will also be there.”
Candice momentarily stopped what she was doing and looked up.
Alex was used to being dismissive, and after leisurely sweeping Candice a glance, he retracted his
gaze.
“Candice, do you want to come along?” Sonia puffed up her cheeks, a look of disappointment flashing
across her face. “You are much better than I, and it would definitely be more suitable for you to be by
Mr. Elysian’s side.”
Blue Artifact was an established brand, and they had many subsidiaries under them.
