Everyone at Aether Corporation knew about the relationship between Candice and Sonia, yet this fact did not seem to trouble Candice as

she collected the papers and headed upstairs.

She was lucky. Sonia and Julle were in the restroom when she arrived upstairs, allowing Candice to bring the documents straight to Alex.

Alex exhibited mild surprise at her arrival in his office, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Handing over the documents, Candice reminded him. “These need your signature.”

Alex accepted and began to sign them without delay.

Candice observed him. Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The foremost lesson he had taught her was the importance of scrutinizing contracts, insisting she should always examine them closely. even if they came from a familiar source.

Midway through signing, Alex casually inquired, “How’s your foot injury?”

Candice replied softly, “Almost healed.”

“Will you be able to join the team–building event?”

“Yes.”

As Alex completed the signing and returned the papers to her, Candice prepared to leave. But then he added, “Stop by the finance department to get your reimbursement for the medical expenses.”

Candice paused, turning to look at him.

After a brief silence, he explained. “Someone posted a video online. The company plans to leverage your injury for public relations.”

His eyes were dimly lit and displayed no emotion as they gazed at Candice.

Candice slowly opened her mouth, speaking gently after a moment. “I thought you would at least ask if it hurts.”

Alex’s hand which was holding the pan, paused at her question. He offered, “Compensation can be doubled, and paid leave is also

possible.”

“Alright.”

Exiting Alex’s office, Candice encountered Sonla and Julie.
