Chapter 0145

Candice’s words were quite harsh, Instantly causing Sonia’s expression to falter.

She dropped the pretense in her tone. “Candice, you shouldn’t say things like that, especially since you’re leaving soon.”

Candice looked at her with a cold expression. Although she had been aware of Sonia’s ulterior motives from the start, she had chosen to turn a blind eye.

But now, she lowered her gaze slightly.

However, after just a few seconds, she lifted her eyes again, staring at Sonia coldly and sharply. “Ms. Summers, it seems you’ve misunderstood something. Leaving was my choice, not a termination forced upon

me.”

Sonia realized she had genuinely upset Candice. She faced the sharp gaze but internally wanted to shrink away. However, with so many people in the meeting room, she held onto her discomfort and said, “Anyway, it’s still the same.”

Candice looked at her in silence for a moment, then lowered her eyes.

Perhaps she had momentarily lost her mind to even consider arguing with Sonia.

“Let’s end the meeting here. If there are any questions, come directly to my office.” She didn’t intend to waste more time with Sonia and left the meeting room with her belongings.

Following closely behind, Kayla had a serious expression. Candice knew she had something to say and calmly prompted, “Just say what you want directly.”

“Are you really resigning?” Kayla asked hesitantly.

Candice nodded. “I’ll be leaving next month.”

“Why?” Kayla furrowed her eyebrows tightly.

But Candice suddenly paused. It seemed that everyone who knew she was leaying would ask her the reason

in disbelief.

Her eyelashes quivered slightly before she flatly said, “I found a new job and plan to switch.”

Kayla clearly didn’t believe it and wanted to say more.

However, Candice had already handed her a contract. “Check this, then pass it on to HR.”

Candice spent the whole morning calmly busy in her office until she received a message from Tamia just

before noon.

She was to prepare for an interview at HR in the afternoon.

It was an arrangement Alex had given Candice earlier to recruit a new batch of interns.

There were quite a few interns coming in for the interview, grouped into threes.

Tamia greeted her, “Come on, this afternoon will be tough. We might not be done in less than three hours.”

Candice nodded. As she was about to take her seat, she saw the meeting room door open again, and Alex walked in expressionlessly.

She paused and glanced at him.
