Chapter 0066

Although Alex’s voice was calm, Candice could sense the annoyance in it since she knew him well.

Confused about the reason for his irritation, she remained silent, her lips tightly pursed.

This response seemed to intensify Alex’s contempt. He narrowed his eyes, his tone icy as he accused, “Ms. Renault, it’s working hours. Should you be flirting with men?”

Taken aback, Candice looked up sharply, meeting his gaze and noting the brief flash of disdain. She attempted to clarify, “I just ran into a friend by chance.”

“You seem to have a lot of friends,” Alex mocked. “Which one is it?”

His interpretation of “friend” was plainly different from Candice’s. She could put up with Alex humiliating her, but he had gone too far in dragging Hanley into this mess.

She swallowed and cleared her throat, “Can’t your thoughts be less filthy?”

Adding bitterly, her tone twinged with rage, “Can’t I have my own friends?”

Alex’s face hardened as he locked his gaze on Candice.

His already formidable demeanor, now laced with his foul mood, felt even more imposing.

Candice’s hands shook slightly under his scrutiny.

Nina approached with files in her hand, just as she was ready to say something.

She glanced at Alex, asking. “Mr. Elysian, shouldn’t we be heading back to the office for a meeting? Why are

we still here?”

Candice was taken aback. She raised her eyes to Alex, who had already averted his gaze and was walking

away.

Nina trailed after him with the files in her arms.

After a few steps, she paused, turning back to Candice with a probing stare. She warned, “If you don’t want to be around Alex, better keep it that way in the future.”

Candice detected a hidden implication in her words, but before she could reply, Nina had already left.
