Nina sat extremely close next to Alex, and he caught a whiff of her perfume as it drifted toward him.

Her knee brushed against him. She leaned in and whispered, “I’m sure I can match up to your secretary.”

Alex’s gaze darkened, his eyes losing their playful spark, replaced by a cool detachment.

He uttered lightly, “My purpose here is to conduct business with Ms. Goodman, not to sleep with her daughter.”

Nina froze in response.

She made a grab for his shirt, trying to convince him, “My mother wouldn’t mind. She’s quite fond of you.”

Alex maintained his cool as he stood up and picked up the prescription Candice

had left on the table.

He gently brushed her off, saying, “I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

After pausing, he continued, “And there’s someone at home.”

Nina looked at him, somewhat embarrassed. Her eyes flickered at the medicine in his hand, and she probed, “Is it your secretary?”

Alex remarked, “It’s none of your business.”

Meanwhile, Candice returned to her room and instantly fell asleep after taking a
