Chapter 0196

Francis appeared gentle, but his tone was extremely provocative.

Candice looked at him, and despite her calm expression, her disdain was hard to miss.

Francis seemed either oblivious or as though he didn’t care. He smiled and said, “If you have nowhere to go now, maybe I can take you in.”

The department head had already left, leaving only Hanley’s group, Lisa, and Francis in the

meeting room.

Francis glanced at Hanley with a somewhat arrogant attitude but turned back to Candice. “You can consider it. You can answer any time.” He paused before adding, “After all, as you know, I’ve

always admired you.”

The way he emphasized admired made the meaning ambiguous.

The coldness in Candice’s eyes deepened, and she sneered. “Your admiration is something most people can’t afford.”

Simply running into Francis had left Candice feeling annoyed. He had been her first superior at Aether, when Candice had been an inexperienced novice. Francis had portrayed himself as a knowledgeable senior, helping her with various tasks several times.

Back then, Candice and Alex had both been busy, so she could not always turn to Alex for help. Francis had helped her, and his assistance had made her think highly of him. At the time, she even praised him to Alex.

Her good opinion of him had lasted until a certain business trip, when Francis had snuck into her

room late at night.

It had made Candice realize that his so–called kindness to newcomers really was just a superficial ploy. The intentional and unintentional touches that Candice had not paid attention to before had suddenly disgusted her.

Despite warning him, Francis not only failed to restrain himself but intensified his inappropriate

behavior.

Fortunately, on one occasion, Alex happened to come and pick her up, catching Francis in the act.

After that incident, he finally stopped his advances. However, from then on, he began making things difficult for Candice, assigning her various troublesome clients under the pretext of ” building her skills.”
