Chapter 0190

She lifted her gaze and saw Alex standing up, staring expressionlessly at her.

A moment later, she watched him pick up his phone and casually glance at it. “Go buy something.”

His tone was flat, but there was a sense of relief in Candice although she didn’t think Alex was intentionally helping her out.

But no matter the reason, going out was always better than staying in this atmosphere.

She didn’t like this kind of environment; it made her instinctively repulsed.

Yet, strangely, Sieg looked at Alex carelessly.

He smirked, speaking up, “Are you intentionally sending her away?”

Candice paused briefly before she heard Alex’s indifferent voice. “Just to buy a cake.”

She stared at him.

Alex didn’t like sweets.

Sieg, however, kept his eyes on Candice.

Upon hearing Alex’s words, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Does Sonia want cake?”

Alex nodded.

Sieg’s face was even more scornful. He shifted his gaze onto Candice, no longer bothering to conceal the disgust in his eyes. He sneered, raising his voice with a tone of mockery, “Did you hear that? Alex asked you to buy a cake for his girlfriend.”

He emphasized the word “girlfriend” as if afraid Candice wouldn’t understand.

“Still, when you think about it, Sonia is Alex’s real girlfriend. Since you’re Alex’s secretary, serving his future wife seems quite fitting for you.”

“After all, maybe she’ll be your boss in the future.” Sieg spoke, then deliberately added, “Oh, I forgot, you got fired because you have no morals.”

Everyone in their circle knew that Candice was previously speculated to be the future daughter–in- law of the Elysian family. But Sieg intentionally mentioned Sonia now, aiming to degrade her. He was hinting that she had already been dumped by Alex.

His words were blatant mockery, clearly treating Candice as a joke.

Candice’s drooping hand slowly clenched, her eyes fixed on him, emotions raging within her chest.

Sieg showed no sign of restraint. Just by observing how obediently Candice followed Alex’s orders, he guessed that either she was under Alex’s control or had something to ask of him.
