Candice maintained eye contact with Alex, waiting for his verdict.

Alex’s gaze momentarily darkened before he looked at Candice with a frosty gaze, saying, “Proceed as you

Upon arrival, she found Joe having his dinner, looking noticeably healthier.

Spotting Candice, he queried, “Why are you late? Haven’t you had dinner?”
