My Mirror Image

As soon as the banquet was over, Candice Renault left to pick up Alex Elysian.

When she opened the door to a room, she bumped into a young girl.

The girl looked clean and smart like an elf who could easily charm people.

Candice had seen the girl before. She was the new intern at the Secretary’s Office, Sonia Summers.

Sonia looked up and met Candice’s gaze. A hint of nervousness flashed across her face and she greeted timidly, “Candice.”

Candice was travel-weary, with frost still on her shoulders. She looked outstanding but she was not a fan of smiling, which exuded aloofness.

Candice hummed in acknowledgment and glanced inside the room before she returned her attention to Sonia. She asked coldly, “Where’s Alex?”

The name Alex made Sonia nervous.

“Mr. Elysian went out to buy a drink for me,” answered Sonia with a voice so hushed that it was drowned out by the room’s music as she glanced nervously at Candice.

Candice raised her brows and sized up Sonia carefully.

Having been with Alex for many years and yet she had never asked him for a favor.

Last month, Candice got into a car accident and hurt her left wrist. It was inconvenient for her to carry out her everyday tasks yet Alex did not even pour her a glass of water.

Sonia grew nervous under Candice’s scrutinizing gaze. She anxiously clutched the hem of her dress and spoke hesitantly, “Mr. Elysian should be back soon.”

Candice remained silent. She had been away in Noxville since last week, attending a series of meetings, and had only returned today to go to the Elysian family’s banquet.
