Chapter 0131

Candice remained silent in the face of Sieg’s mockery.

The interior of the car was dark. She found solace in looking out the window.

Meanwhile, Sieg also fell silent as he reclined in his seat, engrossed in his phone, typing away, and occasionally chuckling to himself.

Out of the blue, he casually requested, “Lex, could you drop me at Times Square? I’ve got stuff to do.”

Alex glanced at him in the rearview mirror. He half–jokingly queried, “Am I your chauffeur now?”

“Hardly, I’m meeting a girl,” Sieg replied, playing the voice message from the internet celebrity he was meeting.

The voice on the phone cooed, “Sieg, when will you get here?”

Everyone knew about Sieg’s flirtatious nature.

Alex came to a complete stop at the next intersection and offered a warning, “Don’t end up in a mess like Bailey Dixon.”

“Would I be that careless?” Sieg said before he got out of the car.

The chilly wind and rain pounded Candice’s face in the brief moment the door was open. She recognized the person Alex was referring to.

Bailey was a notorious playboy in their circle, known for his escapades with young models.

One of his internet celebrity girlfriends had just become pregnant and made a big deal about marrying him. Because Bailey had been unwilling, the girl had attempted to commit suicide. Bailey’s family had been compelled to marry the two off as a result of the controversy.

As the car moved off again, Candice looked towards the front seat and noted that Alex’s profile appeared icy even in the dim light. She averted her gaze hastily.

“Candice,” Sonia said abruptly, breaking the silence.

Candice looked at her. She couldn’t make out Sonia’s expression in the dim light, only a blurry figure.

Sonia hesitated, then ventured, “I want to ask you something, though I’m unsure if I should.”

Her voice conveyed a mix of genuine concern and naivety.
