Chapter 0019

Candice’s straightforwardness left Jackson speechless.

“It’s okay if you can’t.” Candice looked down. She realized she was out of line as well. “I’m just simply asking. Don’t take it seriously.”

Jackson stayed quiet for a moment and asked, “Candice, can I ask why?”

“Nothing. It’s just that I’ve been single for too long and I should try dating,” she

said.

She did not mention Alex at all, and Jackson did not ask.

At the neighborhood’s entrance, they ran into Alex.

Alex’s black Bentley was parked next to Jackson’s car. He glanced at Candice, who had just come out of the car, before looking at Jackson.

Jackson nodded at him. “Good evening.”

Alex hummed and then with a meaningful look, he said, “Ms. Renault, it seems like you are not just good at being a secretary.”

Candice noticed his sneer in between the lines but she could not understand why.
