Chapter 0202

Yvonne, her grandfather’s situation, work–related issues, and the complexities with Alex and Sonia – there were truly too many things pressing on Candice. She felt pushed to the brink of

collapse.

Yet, she did not even have the privilege to give in right now.

She was already alone, and if she were to fall, who would be there to pull her back up?

Candice paused to calm down before she pushed the door open. Alex was on a call inside. He stood by the window, his expression cool yet dashing.
