Candice’s expression remained unchanged, and she didn’t respond to Sonia’s words.
She looked at Alex and asked, “When are we leaving?”
Sonia had cwith Alex for a leisure trip, and while he didn’t involve her in work matters, he was
willing to
spend twith her during breaks.
Candice was just an employee, so she had no right to say anything about how Alex pampered Sonia or
how he
was willing to spend twith her.
She would focus on her job.
Sonia wanted to have lunch near a scenic area, and Alex accompanied her.
Candice took the driver’s seat.
As soon as Sonia got into the car, she nestled into Alex’s arms, complaining softly that he went out in
the
morning without taking her.
Alex calmly comforted her, “It’s rare to have a day off; get sextra sleep.”
Although his tone wasn’t exactly gentle, it was considerate.
Candice concentrated on driving, but without a partition in the car, she could still hear Sonia acting cute
with
Alex.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the parking lot was far from the dining area due to the scenic
location.
Afraid of not getting a seat, Sonia dragged Alex to go ahead.
She said to Candice, “Candice, Lex and I will go ahead and secure a spot. Can you join us after
parking the car?
Candice wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the room. Instead of going over after parking the car, she
found
another restaurant to have lunch.

Candice took a look; the table was set for two, and the dishes were portioned for two.
She wasn’t even considered.
Candice exited Whatcalmly. She was about to go out for a walk when she received a call from
Alex, asking her to cover.
He sent a location that was on a commercial street. When she arrived, Sonia was busy shopping.
They were at a jewelry store, and Sonia had her eye on a small pendant priced in the five digits. She

Alex said, “If you like it, buy it.”
Candice glanced at the pendant Sonia was interested in; indeed, the quality was good. However, she
turned away after a brief glance.
She asked Alex, “Why did you callover?”
“Candice.”
Before Alex could respond, Sonia spoke up. She gave him a pout and said to Candice, “Can you
accompanyto buy clothes? Lex is a man and doesn’t understand anything about fashion.”
It didn’t seem like Sonia wanted Candice to accompany her in buying clothes; it sounded more like she
was emphasizing her relationship with Alex.
Candice paused and said, “I’m not good at picking clothes. Alex would be a better choice. He has
better taste than me.”
That was the truth.
Even when Candice was with Alex before, he used to pick her clothes. Even now, her style of dress
was based on Alex’s preferences.
It wasn’t that Candice didn’t have her own preferences; she just got used to it and was too lazy to
change.
However, Sonia ignored Candice’s refusal. She dragged Candice shopping as though they were close
friends. Behind them, Alex was responsible for settling the bills.
Candice saw Alex paying for it without batting an eye, including the pendant from earlier,
“Candice?” Sonia’s sweet voice sounded in her ear. “Do you think this is nice?”
Candice followed her gaze to a couple’s outfit. It was blue and white, and it looked very bright.
Sonia was smiling brightly as she asked, “What do you think, Candice?”
Then, she added, “It’s forand Lex!”
Candice hesitated. “You should ask Alex.”
After she said that, Alex walked in from outside. He had just answered a phone call.
