Chapter 0135

Candice was not surprised to learn of Sonia’s promotion to full–time employment, given that her internship was coming to an end. Looking at Alex, she asked, “Hasn’t Julie retrieved her file yet?”

“The file remains in the Secretary’s Office. It’s not been moved,” Alex replied, detached.

Candice frowned slightly. She remembered Sonia starting in the Secretary’s Office before Alex transferred her

to the President’s Office.

She had thought Sonia would have joined their team by now, particularly with Alex’s apparent favoritism. The

episode with Sonia’s internship report also came to mind.

Candice’s gaze briefly betrayed her thoughts, but she quickly composed herself.

Sonia’s job transfer wasn’t her main concern, so she concentrated on her own tasks.

Exiting Alex’s office, Candice overheard Sonia cheerfully say, “I’m treating everyone to dinner tonight.”

As Candice passed, Sonia offered her a friendly smile. “Candice, would you like to come? You were my first

mentor here.”

Candice remained stoic and declined. “No thanks. Have a good time.”

Sonia gently insisted. “You might not be aware, but I’ve just been confirmed as permanent.” Her voice held a subtle pride. She clasped Candice’s arm, boasting, “Lex said I got permanent status faster than anyone, even quicker than you.”

The remark highlighted Sonia’s newfound status, and Candice pondered the implications of ‘permanent.’

Candice simply said, “Well done.”

The indifferent response made Sonia’s attempt to impress Candice fall flat.

Disheartened, Sonia asked, “Are you upset? You don’t seem happy.”

Candice offered her a brief look, disinterested in Sonia’s tactics. “Make sure your report for permanent status

is handed to me,” she replied neutrally.
