Chapter 0044

It was Sonia’s first time attending such a banquet, so it was inevitable that she was Ignorant of many

etiquettes.

Candice could guess the situation but didn’t understand why Alex wanted her assistance.

She looked up and said calmly. “It’s not quite appropriate for me to go over there.”

Alex looked down at her with dark eyes devoid of emotion.

He said, “Go and teach her.”

He didn’t need to specify who he was referring to.

Candice pursed her lips without responding. The last time Alex had asked her to teach Sonia, it had resulted in

her being transferred out of the CEO’s office.

Before Candice could refuse, she heard Alex say casually, “Consider it work. It’ll be added to your salary.”

Sieg, who was listening nearby, whistled with interest. He teased. “Are you throwing money around, Alex?”

After saying that, he looked at Candice and said. “This is a windfall from the sky. Candice. Aren’t you going to catch it?”

Whether it was a windfall or a trap was hard to say.

Candice looked outside and vaguely saw Sonia standing stiffly there. Those who didn’t know her might mistake her for a waitress.

It was Sonia’s first time attending an Elysian family banquet, and she didn’t understand many of the rules. She stood behind Helen, resembling a puppet with a forced smile.

Helen was annoyed at Sonia’s lack of sophistication. Sonia felt aggrieved, but she didn’t dare show it openly. So, she could only stand there with a stiff expression.

When Alex approached, Sonia instinctively wanted to hide behind him. But before she could, she saw Candice behind Alex.

Sonia stiffened and quietly asked Alex, “Lex, why did you call Candice over? She’s a guest.”

Before Alex could speak, Candice moved to stand behind Helen. She politely and skillfully took what the guest handed over and casually exchanged a few words with the guest.

The contrast was clear.

Sonia pouted and pulled at Alex’s sleeve, almost about to cry. “Lex, do you think I’m too stupid, so you brought Candice over?”

Alex reached out and wiped her tears, soothing her with a deep voice. “She’s used to these things.”

Candice was not far from them, and she heard Alex’s words. She accepted the gift with a slight pause, then
