Chapter 0087

Being paired for golf meant Alex had to guide Candice, with him wrapping his arms around her from behind.

She felt the warmth of his chest against her back, his heartbeat discernible through their clothes.

When Alex dropped his head, his breath tickled her ear, causing a fluttering sensation.

Stan quipped, observing them, “Mr. Elysian, are you enjoying the embracement? You haven’t swung the club

for quite some time.”

The remark sparked laughter among the onlookers.

Candice tightened her hold on the golf club. She had zero understanding of golf.

Alex adjusted her posture by casually resting her hand on her wrist.

“Why are you nervous?” he asked, his voice steady. “Didn’t I teach you before?”

Her lashes fluttered involuntarily, and her hold on the club stiffened.

Unknown to Alex, his tone mirrored that of their lessons years ago.

Candice’s mind was in turmoil. She gripped the club tighter and swung, sending the ball flying.

Alex, observing silently from behind, slightly raised his eyebrows.

Candice took a step back and avoided Alex’s embrace, feigning calmness. “That’s my shot.”

Alex remained silent, his face giving nothing away.

Sieg, however, whistled. “Lex, it looks like Candice is taking her revenge; you’re going to streak.”

Only then did Candice realize her shot had not reached the golf hole.

Alex came back. His demeanor was composed, as though Sieg’s comment had not reached his ears.

Candice finally realized she had failed. She bowed her head and humbly apologized. “Sorry.”

She had forgotten about the wager.

“What’s the point of apologizing at this point? I assumed you did it intentionally,” remarked the same woman who had earlier tried to converse with her.

She edged closer to Alex, giving him a suggestive glance, then continued speaking to Candice, “After all, Mr. Elysian does appear to be in great shape.”
