Chapter 0228

Alex had always known that Candice had a good figure. He didn’t deny that there was a time when he had been infatuated with her body.

She had all the right curves in all the right places.

She was very beautiful.

Hearing the footsteps, Candice, thinking it was Yana, turned her head with a frown. “Give me the

clothes –”

Candice stopped speaking abruptly, and looked in the direction of the footsteps. She saw Alex standing proudly next to the screen.

His gaze was direct, without any disguise, just settling on Candice.

Candice frowned, quickly gathering her loosely scattered clothes. She didn’t have time to button them up, and used her hand to cover her chest. She looked at Alex with a wary expression. “When

did you arrive?”

Alex looked away, and spoke indifferently. “I should be the one asking when you arrived.”

He had been in the room the whole time, Candice realized.

Alex looked down at her from where he stood, his indifferent black eyes revealing emotions that others could not quite fathom. He sneered. “Candice, you’re enjoying yourself quite well now. Why

The lounge had warm yellow lights, with tightly closed curtains blocking out the noisy sounds

from the hall outside.

Candice’s hand trembled where she gripped her clothes. She closed her eyes. “You’re overthinking. Pretending to be calm, she said, “Sonia spilled red wine on me. I just came in to change clothes.”

Alex raised an eyebrow. “Where are the clothes?”

They haven’t been brought here yet.”

Alex lifted his chin slightly. He took off his jacket, and the obsidian cufflinks on his shirt made him
