Chapter 84

Candice’s hands that were on her thighs balled into fists. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say

something.

However, the vehicle suddenly jolted, causing her to uncontrollably lean to the side. And right beside

her was

Alex.

A cool breath enveloped them as Candice fell into Alex’s embrace. Her head happened to rest on his

shoulder, and the impact made her feel a bit sore. The driver, turning apologetically, said, “So sorry. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a pothole just now. Is everything okay?”

Candice was now sprawled on Alex. She wanted to sit back up, but she suddenly felt that something

was pulling her hair as if they had been entangled in something.

She subconsciously extended her hand at the source, and her hand streaked across a piece of fabric.

Candice’s finger then touched the button that her hair was entangled with.

“You’re willing to do it inside a car just so you can ask for days off?” Alex looked down as he said with a

sneer,

his eyes fixed on the hand that was grabbing at the button on his collar.

Candice paused for a moment before explaining. “My hair got caught in your button.”

Her hair was long and curly, and the hair that was caught in the button was pulled straight.

Candice tried to uncurl her hair with one hand, but it wasn’t working, so she had no choice but to use

both

hands.

However, she didn’t know how her hair got entangled with the button. She couldn’t do it even after a

while.

Candice slowly frowned. She was on top of Alex right now, and she could even sense his breathing.

She couldn’t help but get agitated, and the strength she was applying was getting stronger.

“Are you trying to rip my shirt apart, too?” Alex had just finished speaking when an arm went over

Candice’s shoulder and immediately held Candice’s hand that was trying to untangle her hair.

His palm was warm, and when he was holding the back of Candice’s hand, he was being gentle and

careful.

Candice was stunned and stopped moving. She was being held in Alex’s arms, and it looked like they

were so

close and intimate.

But quickly, she returned to her senses and quietly looked at Alex, trying to free those strands of hair.

She bit her lips and whispered, “Thanks.”

Alex looked at her. There was a glint of light flashing through his eyes as he revealed a faint smile. And

then, he said in an indifferent tone, “How long are you going to stay on me and hug me?”

Only then did Candice realize she was still in Alex’s embrace. But she took a closer look and noticed

that

Alex’s hand was still holding the back of her hand.

Her heart skipped a beat as she pulled out her hand and slowly sat back up, and then tried speaking in

as

+15 BONOS

When Alex saw her reaction, the emotions in his eyes slowly receded.

When they reached Ava’s place, Nina was there too.

Nina evaluated the situation then said, “Looks like you’re much more sincere today.”

Candice guessed she meant Alex didn’t bring Sonia along today.

But they were at the end of it all, so after saying that, Ava then signaled Nina not to say another word.

Ava was sitting behind her desk, her eyes looking at Alex. To be honest, she wasn’t feeling very

comfortable

with this.

While working with Aether was the best choice she had, how Alex had responded by completely

stomping on

her dignity made Ava somewhat annoyed.

Candice was able to perceive her well, since she had been a secretary for a long time. While she didn’t

know how Alex had persuaded Ava to sign the contract, she could see how upset Ava was at this time.

They had already wasted a lot of time in Stugan City. With what was happening to Yvonne, all Candice

wanted

was to finish this as soon as possible so that she could leave.

She looked at Ava’s expression and took a deep breath before slowly walking over. “Ms. Goodman.”

Ava didn’t need to show her any seriousness at all and immediately dismissed her.

However, Candice put on her professional smile and walked two more steps forward. “Stugan City has

developed well this year. We’ve looked at the market’s data earlier and even we can feel that the

market’s fluctuating greatly.”
