Caden smirked. His eyes glittered with mockery, causing her pain. With all the cards on the table and their argument reaching its climax, Alicia declared with determination, “There is no need to discuss this any further. “This ends today.”

Caden's expression stiffened for a moment. His face completely fell.

“Are you sure about this?” he asked impatiently.

Caden scoffed again. “You know damn well who has trouble letting me go,” he replied, his patience wearing thin. “Stop being so dramatic. “I’m done.”

Alice remained equally resolute. “I didn't ask you to enjoy my drama. “You can proceed as you wish with our agreement.”

Realizing that Caden wasn't going to hold on to her, she added nonchalantly, "If you think this association has been a burden, just let me know. I'll take care of it."

With those words, she grabbed her bag, opened the door and walked out.

He didn't make a scene, but when he left, the office fell eerily quiet. It seemed almost lifeless.

Caden felt his anger rising uncontrollably. He was at his limit.

"Mr. Ward, what happened to Miss Bennett? She refused to let me get her a driver."

Caden's expression remained cold. “Just ignore her.”
