Chapter 0285

Candice had just arrived, and her footsteps paused slightly as she turned to look at Sawyer.

Sawyer’s tone was overly welcoming just now. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Elysian is afraid of communication issues, so he wanted to wait until everyone was present before. starting the meeting. Mr. Baldwin and the others are already in the conference room waiting. You can go ahead; I’ll inform Mr. Elysian.”

Candice nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped. “After the meeting, does Mr. Elysian have any other arrangements?”

“He’s free in the morning, but he has to attend a forum conference in the afternoon.”

Sawyer inquired. “Do you have something to discuss with him?”

“Mm.”

Candice responded lightly without elaborating things any further.

She had just reached the conference room and was about to open the door when it swung open from the inside. Ryan, wearing a displeased expression, walked out.

Seeing her, his brows furrowed. “Why did you come?”

“Sawyer called me: I had no choice but to come.”

She looked up at Hanley inside the conference room. Though Hanley appeared calmer than Ryan,

his expression was still slightly cold.

Candice asked, “Were you guys waiting here since just now?”

“What do you think?” Ryan sneered coldly, “As soon as we arrived, we were made to sit here and wait. Who do they think they are? Do they think they’re the only ones who own a company?”

Both Ryan and Nadia came from wealthy and influential families. Working with Hanley was more of an interest for them. Originally, due to the incident, they were somewhat at fault, so it was normal to come and cooperate for the meeting. However, Alex had left them waiting here for over

an hour.

Since Ryan had started working with Hanley, he had never been treated like this. Therefore, his anger flared up.

Candice lowered her eyes and spoke softly after a moment, “I should have come with you.”
