Candice tensed up as she raised her eyes to meet Alex’s. Suppressing her unease, she said, “He’s a friend.”

Alex, on the other hand, averted his gaze.

“Is that so?” he asked casually. His skeptical tone was unmistakable.

Subconsciously, she did not wish for Hanley to be wrongfully criticized, yet she sensed it was useless to debate with Alex.

Candice was at a loss for words.

After a brief silence, she inquired, “Should we return to the hotel now?”

Alex glanced at his phone and responded, “First, accompany me somewhere else.”

Candice assumed he was leading her to a business-related location.

Surprisingly, he took her to a golf course.

The caddy who came to greet them stated respectfully, “Mr. Frowler is awaiting you.”

Frowning, Candice inquired, “Did Sieg request your presence?”

She was filled with discomfort.

Candice, anticipating mockery and degradation on such an occasion, hesitated and objected.
