Chapter 0294
Candice looked up. “What’s up?”
Hanley held a box and placed it in front of Candice. “When I went to see Zane today, he asked me
to give this to you.”
Candice was slightly stunned. The box contained a new series from Blue Artifact. When she had last
met Zane, she had casually mentioned her interest in the series. “Zane is quite considerate,”
she said.
With that, a book was suddenly placed in front of her, and Hanley lowered his gaze, his voice slightly
deep. “Stop looking at the computer. Cout and take a break. Ryan and the others. suggested
going out for dinner tonight.”
Candice happily agreed but also urged Hanley to leave. “I have to discuss matters with Jessica next
week. I need to finish this proposal.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtListening to the vague sense of familiarity in her tone, Hanley’s eyebrows moved imperceptibly.
but he still left the room.
While Candice was enjoying herself, the atmosphere was less than pleasant elsewhere. Sonia and
Xavier had had an unpleasant lunch, and to make matters worse, they encountered traffic on the way
back to Aether.
When Sonia had received the sudden call from Xavier, she had used a client meeting as an excuse to
leave the company. However, as soon as she returned to the office, she heard Kayla and other
colleagues discussing that Alex’s grandfather was in the office.
Sonia was taken aback. “Alex’s grandfather is here?”
Lately, Sonia’s reputation in the Secretary’s Office was not good. Her work performance was poor, and
her temper was bad. She often behaved like the company’s lady boss. She was always coming in late
and leaving early, and readily passing her work to others.
Kayla glanced at her and sneered. “Why is Alex’s grandfather here? Don’t you know? Speaking of it, it
seems like Mr. Elysian’s family prefers Candice.”
Kayla was obviously intentionally provoking Sonia. However, the people around them acted as if they
had not heard anything. After all, in the short tSonia had been in the Secretary’s Office, there was
hardly anyone who had not worked overtbecause of her.

Sonia sensed Kayla’s sarcasm, but she didn’t care. In her mind, she was contemplating meeting with
Alex’s grandfather. After all, she was his legitimate girlfriend, she would have to meet him eventually.
She must surpass Candice.
When she went upstairs, Sonia tidied up her appearance and made a cup of tea in the pantry before
pushing open Alex’s office door. Alex was indeed not there. He had a business engagement
in the afternoon.
With a gentle and obedient smile on her face, Sonia deliberately softened her voice. “Grandpa Elysian,
this is the tea I brewed for you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe old man was sitting with his eyes closed, resting. He looked up, startled when he heard her
voice.
Sonia froze.
When she had entered, she had thought the old man looked kind and gentle, resting with his eyes
closed. She had thought that he would be a kindly and amiable old man. However, as soon as he
opened his eyes, there was no trace of kindness in them. Instead, they were sharp and piercing.
Caught off guard, Sonia did not know how to respond.
The old man held onto his cane as he looked at her and asked, “Who are you?”
“I–I am Mr. Elysian’s secretary.” Sonia stammered.
“If you’re his secretary, why do you callGrandpa Elysian?” He had once single–handedly brought
the Elysian family to its glory, and when he becserious, his energy was terrifying.
Sonia, feeling uneasy under his piercing gaze, mumbled, “I’m also Lex’s girlfriend.” She had thought
that the old man would soften his attitude when he heard that she was Alex’s girlfriend.
She was about to adjust her expression and speak again when she heard the old man sternly say,
“One million dollars, leave Alex.”
