Chapter 0086

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 remained calm and suppressed her impatience.

“The contract is completed,” she said, balling her fist. “I’ll send you the necessary documentation. Is it okay for me to leave now?”

Alex observed her closely, a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if attempting to peer into her soul. He regained his calm in an instant and stated flatly, “No.”

Candice frowned. It seemed to her that he was intentionally making things difficult for her.

Her face tumed frosty as she spoke plainly. “I haven’t used any of my annual leaves. I’m entitled to that,

correct?”

With a cold sneer, Alex said, “Abandoning your boss in the middle of a business trip and going off on your

own. Candice, I’m amazed by your professionalism.”

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.
