When Candice arrived at the Elysians‘ residence, dinner was about to begin.

She gave the present to the maid and spotted Alex, who was already at the table.

The man was on his phone and he simply glanced at her when she arrived.

Daniel furrowed his brows and said sternly, “You’re late, Candice. Alex said you were not coming.”

“I got stuck in traffic. Happy birthday, Daniel.”

Candice showed a flawless smile as she sat down beside Alex. She accidentally spotted Alex chatting with Sonia.

“You told me to wait for you at the parking lot,” Candice said.

Alex paused for a moment. “I forgot.”
