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

deem fit.”

His voice was nonchalant and devoid of emotion.

Yet Candice grasped his underlying message. If she chose to exclude Sonia based on her performance and other metrics, Alex was likely to complicate matters for her.

Lowering her eyes to mask her thoughts, she acknowledged, “Understood, I’ll handle it.”

With that, she exited the office.

Outside, Sonia observed Candice’s composed demeanor, realizing her imminent promotion to a full–time position and dropped her earlier cautious attitude.

As Candice walked past, she briefly halted and gently reminded Sonia, “Ensure your application for permanent status is submitted on time, or it’ll be too late.”

Sonia’s expression stiffened momentarily. Julie had informed her that her application had to go through the Secretary’s Office.

She nodded promptly. “Yes, I’ll turn it in tomorrow.”

Without further comment, Candice left to get her things and go to the hospital.

The workload at Aether Corporation was enormous. When Candice got back to the Secretary’s Office, most employees were still there, engrossed in overtime work.

Aware of Candice’s hospital visit, Kayla reassured her, “Don’t worry, we’re aware of your situation. Go ahead.”

Candice hummed in acknowledgement. As she prepared to leave, she remembered something and turned to Kayla. “Don’t overwork. Everyone can order coffee, it’s on me.”

Kayla responded with a hint of playfulness despite her complaining tone, “Why so formal, Candice?” Her face,

however, bore a smile.

Exiting the company late, Candice headed straight to the hospital.

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

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