Chapter 0006 Since Alex said he would bring Sonia to the party this weekend , Candice did not interfere . She compiled the information into a file , sent it to Sonia via email , and stopped asking . However , Sonia was just an intern . She had to juggle between dealing with her workload and preparing for the party , so it overwhelmed her easily . Candice saw her in a mess and Alex's reminder rang in her head . She asked Sonia , " Do you need help ? " Sonia was startled . Candice looked into the girl's eyes calmly . " There will be a lot of guests at Morinaga Estate's party this weekend . I've sent you the guest list . Try to remember their preferences and you just need to remind Alex when he meets them . " Sonia nodded repeatedly and showed an adorable smile . " Thank you , Candice . " " Don't be nervous . " Candice paused for a moment and added , " Alex will take care of you . " Sonia blushed when Alex's name was mentioned . She bit her lips shyly and returned to her workstation with the file . Candice said nothing . She sent the same file to Alex's work phone as well . She had ceased contacting Alex via his private number ever since he asked her to do so . After she sent the file over , she unconsciously scrolled down and saw the display picture on Alex's private number had turned into a pink rabbit . It had only been days . This reminded Candice of when she asked Alex to change his gray profile picture but he had always said it was troublesome . Later in the afternoon , the receptionist called to inform the arrival of Alex's client . Candice told the receptionist to arrange for the client to wait in the meeting room before she got up and informed Alex . 1/3 +15 BONOS Alex nodded and headed to the meeting room with her . When he passed by Sonia's desk , he tapped on it and said coldly , " Come to the meeting room . " Alex was obviously trying to train Sonia . Rumors abound in the company that Candice was losing the CEO's affection , but she remained unbothered . She followed Alex to the meeting room and chatted with the client . She then looked at Sonia and said , " Go bring us some tea . " When Sonia returned with tea , she saw Candice and Alex talking to the client masterfully . The sweet look on her face froze for a moment . After the client left , she grumbled softly , " Candice , Mr. Elysian , I'll be going back to my work . " Candice barely reacted . The girl looked at Alex with reluctance and left the meeting room , leaving Alex alone with Candice . Candice frowned and asked , " Are you sure about bringing her to the party ? " " If not ? " Alex frowned and added , " Tell Janet to join the meeting whenever the client comes . " Janet Lee was another secretary at the Secretary's Office and she had always managed internal affairs . Candice recalled Sonia's grievance from earlier and instantly figured it out . She could not help but sigh . " You are too good to her . " Alex did not deny it . " She's still a girl , of course I have to be good to her . " Then , a sudden thought rushed to his mind and he said , " Oh and choose a dress for Sonia . I'll pay for it , just claim from Finance later . " Candice never knew how caring Alex could be . She nodded stiffly and said , " I'll ask for her preference later . " Before clocking out , Candice brought a few dresses to ask for Sonia's opinion . As she was about to enter the office , she heard Sonia's aggrieved voice , saying , Mr. Elysian , you should bring Candice to the party . I'm clumsy and I can't do well . I don't want to embarrass you . " ( ( 213 +15 BONOS Candice was stuck at the entrance , wondering whether to go in or leave . Then , she heard Alex say , " She's just an employee . You are my girlfriend . Who do you think would embarrass me more ? " Candice looked down . She was just an employee to him .
