Chapter 0051

Candice was well aware that her current situation wasn’t great, so she didn’t dare to act strong.

She nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Jackson lifted Candice steadily. Although Candice was tall, she was slender. Jackson was well over six feet, so he made her look petite in his arms.

As Jackson held Candice, she looked up and happened to meet Alex’s dark and cold eyes. Candice hesitated for a moment, then averted her eyes.

“Lex?” Sonia tugged at Alex’s sleeve, softly reminding him, “Didn’t you say you made plans to have dinner with Sieg?”

Alex turned away. He glanced at Sonia and grunted, then headed towards the car.

Sonia pursed her lips slightly after giving Jackson and Candice a brief glance. But she soon relaxed and linked arms with Alex.

It was as if she were declaring some kind of dominance.

Candice followed Jackson to the hospital. Her previous sprained ankle had been aggravated, and the doctor sternly warned her not to wear high heels.

Candice felt bad and apologetically said, “Sorry. I know we planned to have dinner together.”

“It’s good. Your health is more important,” Jackson said as he helped her up, “Can you walk?”

Candice changed into flat shoes and managed to walk, albeit with difficulty.

Dinner plans fell through, and Jackson had no choice but to escort her home. However, Candice couldn’t drive due to her foot injury.

“I’ll drive you to work tomorrow,” Jackson insisted.

“No need, I’ll take a cab.” Candice was hesitant to trouble him.

“You’ll have to walk a few hundred meters to catch a cab from here. Are you sure?” Jackson disagreed with

her words. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Candice’s protests were in vain. Sure enough, Jackson arrived on time the next morning.

As he drove Candice to the company, he said, “I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”

Uncomfortable with the arrangement, Candice was about to decline when she noticed Alex’s Maybach
