Chapter 0022

The news of Candice’s transfer out of the CEO’s office spread like wildfire within the company.

There were a number of colleagues who tried to get more details from her, and they had been swarming her the whole morning.

Fortunately, her detached personality was widely known and it successfully kept her nosy colleagues away.

She had just assumed her new position, so there were a lot of handovers. She did not have time to head outside for lunch, so she simply filled her stomach at the

cafeteria.

When she got into the elevator, she ran into Sonia and the other secretaries from her previous department, gossiping.

The secretaries were keen–eyed. They knew Alex had abandoned Candice, which strengthened Sonia’s position, so they started to flatter Sonia.

Candice entered the elevator without showing any emotions.

The others in the elevator felt a little awkward and they instinctively lowered

their voices.

Sonia glanced at her and acted like she owned the elevator. She asked meekly, Candice, how are you doing out there? I asked Alex and he said you are more needed elsewhere now. He’ll transfer you back at a later date.”

Candice coldly hummed a reply.

She did not mind if Alex did not transfer her back, since it would be the same
