My Mirror Image

Chapter 0043

Upon hearing these words, Candice glanced at the photo.

In the picture, a man and a woman stood outside the lobby of a hot spring hotel. Alex was embracing the woman from behind, and she looked back at him.

The picture was taken from a distance, making it hard to discern their expressions. However, the ambiguous emotions between the two could be clearly felt in the photo..

Kayla’s eyes clearly sparked, obviously eager to gossip.

Candice said, “That day when I almost fell, he was the one who pulled me up.”

Kayla wasn’t the only one who had seen this photo. Most of the people in the company had seen it.

Sonia’s face remained pale the entire day.

Alex, on the other hand, showed no reaction. He didn’t even spare a glance at the photo.

Instead, he averted his gaze.

Seeing his indifferent response, Sonia felt a bit relieved.

In the afternoon, someone from the finance department approached Candice, handing her a paycheck to sign.

Due to Candice losing the collaboration with Humphrey, three months of her salary would be deducted according to Aether Corporation’s regulations.

Candice’s monthly salary was already substantial, and the total amount for three months looked somewhat

staggering.

Kayla casually glanced at the figure and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Candice, this amount of deduction could serve as a down payment for a house in my hometown.”

Candice, however, hesitated to sign. She stared at the amount with a furrowed brow and pursed lips.

It was only after the finance person urged her that she finally signed.

Kayla was aware of the situation, and she felt it was unfair to Candice. “You can’t be solely blamed for losing

this deal. Why should you bear the punishment alone? That’s too unfair!”

Candice remained silent, Conveniently, her phone rang, and she checked it before standing up.

“I have to take this call.”

In the pantry, a young girl’s tender and fragile voice came through the other end of the line when Candice answered.
