The sound unavoidably reached Alex’s ears.

He looked up with an indifferent look and caught sight of Candice. She looked tipsy as she leaned against the wall and watched them.

She seemed a bit more lonely than usual as she stood there alone, and also somewhat fragile.

Alex’s gaze slightly darkened as he watched Candice slowly enter the adjacent suite.

When Candice walked past Alex, she paused momentarily, which allowed Alex to catch a whiff of the faint scent of alcohol on her.

After reaching her suite, Candice slept deeply. She only woke up in the middle of the night because she was feeling thirsty. She wanted to get up to pour some water but was wide awake.

Just then, her phone rang. Candice picked it up to find a transaction record.

Alex had transferred ten thousand dollars to her.

Presumably, it was her salary for the night.

News of Sonia attending Helen’s birthday banquet quickly spread in the office, stirring a new wave of discussions.

Kayla discreetly asked Candice if it was true, and Candice nodded.

“Yes.”

This further solidified the rumors that Alex was determined to be with Sonia.

Sonia was an intern, and she needed three months to obtain her internship certificate. Alex was supposed to handle it, but she had first applied to the secretary’s department and forgot to transfer it.

Now, she had to go to Candice.

Sonia studied at Dorrington University, which was a reputable institution. So, the internship certificate requirements were stringent.

When Candice received her application, she still had several other documents and internship certificates to process.

After some thought, she said. “Come find me tomorrow; I have a lot to handle today.”

Sonia acknowledged Candice’s reply and turned to leave.

Candice was busy herself, and Sonia didn’t come to see her the next day. With that, Candice assumed Sonia had found someone else to help and didn’t bother asking.

Instead, she processed the internship certificates for others and sent them out.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Kayla gossiped in the office, “Sonia’s eyes are red from crying again. This time.
