Candice handed her the glass of water. Nina stood up and grabbed the glass while complaining to
Alex.
Nina did her nails, and she had put diamonds and sequins on her nails.
When she was taking the glass of water, the sequin on her nails seemed to have been raised, and it
sliced on the tip of Candice’s fingers, leaving a cut.
Candice was startled by the pain, and she almost immediately let go. However, the moment that she let
go, Nina had also let go. She had even applied sstrength to it, and the entire glass of water was
poured on Candice’s hand. Candice let out a silent groan as she hissed in pain.
She
wanted to scream, but she gritted her teeth as she endured the pain out of habit. However, there was

Candice’s lips went pale as she frowned deeply. Her right hand was all red from her wrist to her fingers.
Alex immediately stood up and walked over, grabbed Candice by the arm, and said. “To the hospital.”
Candice’s skin was quite pale. And now, her hands looked terrifying as they pulsed in red.
She couldn’t say anything and simply let Alex grab her arm and slowly dragged her out.
Luckily, there was a clinic behind the branch company, and he brought Candice over.
However, her hand was terrifyingly red. There were even two blisters.
Alex glared at the female doctor who was treating Candice’s injury and said, “Can you do it? If you
can’t, tellright now.”
While holding a cotton bud in her hand, the doctor said with a displeased expression, “If I can’t, maybe
you can try it.”
Candice could still feel the burning sensation in her hand, and she couldn’t say a word. All she could do
was to raise her head and give Alex a scowl, signaling him to shut up.
Alex’s demeanor grew icy. He looked at Candice for a while and said, “If anything happens, don’t cry
about the company mistreating its employees.”
With that, he walked out of the clinic.
Meanwhile, despite the extensive burn on Candice’s hand, her timely arrival and the prompt medical
attention given by the doctor prevented it from getting worse.
However, her hand was bandaged by a thin layer of gauze.
The only uncomfortable part was the wound on the top of her ring finger, where Nina’s sequin had cut
her and then scalded by the hot water. Her skin was becoming all white, and she felt upset looking at it.
After being bandaged at the clinic, she thought Alex had already gone back to the office. She didn’t
expect him to wait for her outside.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCandice stopped before walking over with her usual expression on her face.
When Alex saw her, he looked at her hand.
After a moment, he said. “The company will reimburse your medical bills. As this is considered a work
injury. you’ll be compensated as well.”
Candice’s heart skipped a beat. “What about Nina?”
She then continued, “Nina did it intentionally.”
Alex slowly frowned. “Do you have proof?”
Candice looked away. She didn’t have any.
Alex looked at her with mixed feelings before saying in a hush. “Don’t throw out an accusation with
nothing to back it up. The company will compensate you at the highest level.”
Candice was also feeling upset and instead asked Alex, “You’re hiding the truth for her sake?”
Alex’s expression beccold. “Candice, you have no proof.”
After being bandaged, Candice’s hand was still in pain. When Nina had cut her finger, she felt that the
pain had shaken her very being.
Candice formed an unknown smile and asked Alex, “If Sonia was the one that was hurt, would this be
okay?” Alex looked at her, his patience thinning. “Is there a point with that question?”
