Chapter 0145

Candice’s words were quite harsh, Instantly causing Sonia’s expression to falter.

She dropped the pretense in her tone. “Candice, you shouldn’t say things like that, especially since

you’re leaving soon.”

Candice looked at her with a cold expression. Although she had been aware of Sonia’s ulterior motives

from the start, she had chosen to turn a blind eye.

But now, she lowered her gaze slightly.

However, after just a few seconds, she lifted her eyes again, staring at Sonia coldly and sharply. “Ms.

Summers, it seems you’ve misunderstood something. Leaving was my choice, not a termination forced

upon

me.”

Sonia realized she had genuinely upset Candice. She faced the sharp gaze but internally wanted to

shrink away. However, with so many people in the meeting room, she held onto her discomfort and

said, “Anyway, it’s still the same.”

Candice looked at her in silence for a moment, then lowered her eyes.

Perhaps she had momentarily lost her mind to even consider arguing with Sonia.

“Let’s end the meeting here. If there are any questions, cdirectly to my office.” She didn’t intend to

waste more twith Sonia and left the meeting room with her belongings.

Following closely behind, Kayla had a serious expression. Candice knew she had something to say

and calmly prompted, “Just say what you want directly.”

“Are you really resigning?” Kayla asked hesitantly.

Candice nodded. “I’ll be leaving next month.”

“Why?” Kayla furrowed her eyebrows tightly.

But Candice suddenly paused. It seemed that everyone who knew she was leaying would ask her the

reason

in disbelief.

Her eyelashes quivered slightly before she flatly said, “I found a new job and plan to switch.”

Kayla clearly didn’t believe it and wanted to say more.

However, Candice had already handed her a contract. “Check this, then pass it on to HR.”

Candice spent the whole morning calmly busy in her office until she received a message from Tamia

just

before noon.

She was to prepare for an interview at HR in the afternoon.

It was an arrangement Alex had given Candice earlier to recruit a new batch of interns.

There were quite a few interns coming in for the interview, grouped into threes.

Tamia greeted her, “Con, this afternoon will be tough. We might not be done in less than three

hours.”

Candice nodded. As she was about to take her seat, she saw the meeting room door open again, and

Alex walked in expressionlessly.

She paused and glanced at him.

Tamia had already stood up and asked, “Why did you cdown, Mr. Elysian?”

Before Alex could speak, Sonia entered from the door.

She had a smile on her face, took small steps, and stopped next to Alex. She whispered, “I received a

call.”

Candice understood immediately. This was probably another instance of Alex bringing Sonia to “learn“.

She averted her gaze and said nothing.

Originally, the interviews were supposed to be conducted by Candice, Tamia, and another supervisor.

Candice sat on the side nearest to the door.

However, now with Alex and Sonia entering one after the other, they sandwiched her in the middle.

Candice was close to Alex, and any slight movement would bring her arm close to his.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she whispered, “It’s not appropriate forto sit in the middle. Since

Mr. Elysian is here, you should sit here.”

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard his indifferent voice, “Not necessary, I just cto

have a

look.”

“Candice,” Sitting beside Alex, Sonia also turned to look at Candice. Her pink lip gloss made her

appear cute, carrying an air of naive innocence. “You said this morning that my abilities are insufficient,

so Mr. Elysian broughthere to learn about your work. Don’t worry, Mr. Elysian won’t blyou.”

Whether it was about sitting in the wrong position or scolding Sonia in the morning, the exact meaning

behind

her words was hard to determine.

Candice pursed her lips, showing little expression.

It was Tamia who knew how to handle the situation. She pulled Candice and smiled, “The interview is

about to

start. You should display the aura of Aether Corporation’s Chief Secretary and interview these young

candidates properly.”

Since Candice had been transferred out of the CEO’s office, the confirmation of the new Chief

Secretary for

Aether Corporation had not been made.

Hearing this, Sonia couldn’t help but glance at Candice again.

She had discussed this with Alex before, but he hadn’t given a clear response. Hence, internally within

Aether Corporation, it was still presumed that Candice was Alex’s Chief Secretary.

Especially during her twith Julie in the finance department, she had inadvertently heard that

Candice’s current salary was based on the position of Chief Secretary.

While Sonia was lost in thought, the interviews had already started.

Candice swiftly entered work mode, diligently reviewing the interns‘ profiles.

However, things weren’t going as smoothly as she’d hoped.

It wasn’t until the last two groups that she couldn’t help but put down her pen and let out a sigh.

It was clear she was feeling frustrated.

Sonia had left due to other matters ten minutes ago, but Alex was still present.

When Candice put down her pen, her movement accidentally bumped into his elbow.

She hesitated. “I’m sorry, it was unintentional.”

The new group of interviewees hadn’t arrived yet, and Tamia and another supervisor had gone out to

use the

restroom.

Alex glanced at her indifferently. “Quite selective at this moment.”

Candice caught the sarcasm in his tone and paused before replying, “If you have someone you’re

satisfied

with, you can call them back.”

Alex tapped the tabletop with his fingertip and suddenly asked her, “Do you remember how you were

when you

first joined Aether Corporation?”

When Candice had initially joined Aether Corporation, she was only a sophomore. She was an

exception brought into the company by Alex and directly put through grassroots training.

“Candice, back then, you were no better than them.” His cold, sneering voice brought her thoughts

back.

Her grip on the files tightened slightly as she spoke calmly, “So, what are you implying?”

Alex’s expression remained unchanged, his dark pupils unreadable. “Since you look down on Sonia’s

abilities so much, why not bring her to the position you’re supposed to hand over?”

Candice’s breath hitched. “I can’t mentor her.”

“That’s your problem.”

After a slow pause, she spoke in a deep tone, “I don’t want to mentor her.”

“Fine.” Alex scoffed with little emotion, his gaze fixed on Candice. He tapped on the table, his voice

heavy. somewhat casual, “If you don’t want to mentor her, find someone else to take over your

position.”

Candice remained silent. She didn’t believe Alex was unaware of the relationship between her and

Sonia.

However, he stood up, towering over her.

In an extremely detached voice, he said, “This is your final job at Aether Corporation. Once you’ve

completed

He left after speaking, leaving her alone in the meeting room, feeling a severe headache.
