Chapter 0146

When Tamia and the others returned, Candice’s expression remained unfavorable. She propped her hand against her temple, eyebrows furrowed.

Tamia asked in surprise, “Where’s Mr. Elysian? Did he leave?”

Candice was still thinking about what Alex had said.

Where could she find someone to replace her position?

During the subsequent interviews, she was somewhat absent–minded. None of the resumes in

front of her satisfied her.

After it was all done, Tamia commented to the other manager, “These students are only good at embellishing their resumes. Each one seems worse than the last.”

Candice sat for a while, then gathered her things and headed back to her office.

Troubled by something, her complexion was so grim that when she bumped into Queenie at the

office door, Queenie was a bit afraid.

Taking two steps back, Queenie looked at Candice’s face and spoke softly, hesitating, “Candice…”

Candice halted, “What’s the matter?”

In a bad mood, she spoke plainly, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Queenie hesitated, “I…I’m fine. Candice, please don’t overthink things.”

Candice stopped, looking at her.

“It’s about what’s being said in the company. Our department knows it’s not true, so, um…” Queenie regretted speaking up, knowing she shouldn’t have brought it up with Candice. But now, with Candice looking at her, she couldn’t take it back.

Her voice grew smaller as she continued, “There are rumors in the company that you’re resigning

because Sonia snatched your position, forcing you to leave.”

As Queenie spoke, Candice’s face remained calm.

When Candice returned to her workstation, Kayla was buried in files. Upon hearing some noise,
