Candice, looking unwell, nodded slowly in response to Sonia. “I’ve got things to handle here.”

Her voice was hoarse, betraying her fatigue.

Sonia’s gaze became wary. She forced a strained smile, asking, “How come you didn’t join us?”

Candice lacked the energy to deal with Sonia and took a sip of her tea, answering, “I’m here on personal

matters. I’m on leave.”

“Is that so?” Sonia responded with a skeptical chuckle, then turned to Alex and asked, “Have you wrapped up your business?”

Alex, unfazed, sipped his tea.

“Not yet.”

Sonia’s expression soured slightly.

Greg, sensing the tension, lightened the mood. “What’s the matter, Sonia? Not a fan of Noxville?”

Sonia quickly dismissed the notion with a wave, then admitted, “I think the climate here doesn’t agree with me. I’ve developed some allergies.”

Greg sympathetically responded, “Oh no! You need to take care of that.”

Candice stayed quiet, almost blending into the background. She barely touched her food.

Meanwhile, Sonia and Greg struck up a rapport, their conversation flowing easily.

Out of the blue, Sonia turned to Alex, probing, “Is what Greg is saying true?”

Alex remained silent, his brows knitted, evidently in a foul mood. Sonia had to call his name

several times before he looked up.

Taken aback by his cold expression, Sonia cautiously asked, “Is something wrong?”

Greg set down his fork and regarded his friend, offering reassurance, “Don’t read too much into it. My dad’s words aren’t always to be taken to heart. You know how he is.”

Sonia bit her lip, probing further, “What happened?”

With no forthcoming response from Greg, Sonia turned toward Candice.
