Chapter 0132

Candice was caught up with the property staff when Alex’s voice interrupted.

“The water pipe upstairs burst,” the staff explained, “and we need to check her apartment.”

Alex looked at Candice, who appeared frustrated, as she assured them. “I’ve already inspected. Everything’s fine here.”

“We’re worried about your safety,” the property staff persisted.

Feeling hesitant to allow strangers in at such a late hour, Candice was on the verge of declining once more when Alex nonchalantly agreed, approaching to enter himself.

Irritated at being disturbed in the middle of the night, she asked, “What are you doing?”

Alex responded calmly, reminding her, “You do recall who’s the owner of this apartment, right?”

Candice’s face hardened, as did her grip on the door frame.

Alex had purchased the apartment for her when she first joined the firm. She mistakenly assumed at the time that her lover simply desired to spend more time with her each day.

With a heavy heart and a somber expression, she stepped aside, allowing Alex to enter.

Feeling a breeze from the doorway, she realized the apartment was in Alex’s name, leaving her potentially homeless if he chose to reclaim it.

The property team left after performing a quick check, and Alex followed them.

He looked back at Candice, taunting, “Good to see you’re at least aware of safety concerns.”

Candice silently watched him leave, then retreated into her apartment.

Sleep escaped her after she returned to her room.

She found herself browsing through a housing app, scanning rental options in Dorrington City, where finding a good apartment was challenging.

Annoyed, she set aside her phone. Lying in bed, eyes shut, she attempted to settle her turbulent thoughts.
