Chapter 0090

That night, Candice had a difficult time falling asleep; her inebriation most likely contributed to her restlessness. A series of unsettling dreams kept her from finding peace, leaving her struggling to fully wake up.

By the time she was able to lift her heavy eyelids, daylight had already filled the room.

Groggily sitting up and reaching for her phone, she noticed it was already past ten.

With not much left for her in Stugan, she decided to get ready for the day.

She had gone straight to bed the previous night.

Her clothes from the night before, which she had carelessly fallen asleep in, still bore the lingering scent of alcohol.

Freshened up and out of the bathroom, she heard her phone ringing from the bedside table.

It was a call from Charles at the branch office, asking, “Ms. Renault, what time are you coming over?”

His question caught her off guard, and she asked, “Is there something you need me for?”

Charles explained, “We have an additional document that needs your attention. Mr. Elysian had to leave the city urgently and asked me to reach out to you.”

Candice hesitated before calling Alex after she ended the call, but he never answered.

Left with no choice, she attended to the pending work at the branch office.

“When did Mr. Elysian leave?” she asked Charles once everything was resolved.

“Early in the morning. He was already at the airport when I called,” Charles said, then asked, “Didn’t he tell you?

Candice cast her eyes down and remained silent. Despite having spent the previous night together, he had not

mentioned anything about his departure.

Upon exiting the office, she checked her phone again, yet there was still no word from Alex..

Consequently, she proceeded to book a flight for herself.

By the time she was set to leave for the airport, it was well into the afternoon.

Just after clearing the security check, her phone rang with a call from Hanley, making her realize she had not informed him of her leaving.

With a touch of awkwardness, she answered, only to hear Hanley say, “There’s an opening for an exhibition today. If you’re free, you should come see it. It’s quite fascinating.”

“Sorry, Hanley, I have some urgent matters to deal with,” she regretfully apologized, holding her luggage. “I’m
