My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s)

Chapter 0348

Perhaps it was because Candice had gradually adapted to some reactions recently, it wasn't as uncomfortable as it had been at the beginning.

However, when she had waited in the downstairs airport hall just now, she had felt a suffocating sensation due to the crowd. It was as if she couldn't breathe as she felt her chest tighten.

After she had forcefully suppressed the stifling feeling in her heart and looked up at Alex, she calmly said, "Mr. Elysian, you seem to be a little too concerned about my private life."

The first-class cabin was not crowded, and Candice's tone was light and ethereal, revealing a hint of detachment.

Her eyes showed no emotion. If one must describe the emotions in her eyes, it would be impatience and vigilance.

Alex looked down at her and noticed those emotions in her eyes.

He sneered. It was as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just looked deeply at Candice, turned around, and returned to his seat.

Despite the aisle separating them, it wasn't too far, and Candice could even smell the faint pine scent on him.

She fell silent and ate a lemon candy given by Hanley from her bag. Until the sweet and tangy flavor of the lemon covered the pine scent, her originally tense nerves relaxed a bit.

The flight from Dorrington to Solaris was about two hours. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Feeling tired and fatigued, Candice put on an eye mask and soon fell asleep.

In that half-awake state, she always felt a strong jolt, as if she were on a roller coaster, swaying all over.

She wanted to open her eyes but couldn't. She felt both clear and fuzzy, and it was a rather uncomfortable state.

Her breathing became rapid, and her eyelids seemed stuck, unable to open.

Moreover, with the eye mask blocking, it became even more difficult.

It wasn’t until a warm palm stroked her forehead, bringing a comforting breath, that she felt a bit more comfortable.

Her heavy eyelids finally drooped, and Candice's breathing gradually steadied. Even though the jolting sensation didn't completely disappear, she wasn't as anxious.

Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep again.

When she woke up again, Candice was awakened by the voice of a flight attendant.

Due to the sudden heavy rain in Solaris, the plane had to delay its landing.

And the turbulence Candice had just felt was due to encountering an air current.

Her neck was a bit stiff, probably because of her sleeping posture.

She didn't expect to have slept for two hours straight.

Vaguely, it seemed like someone had come and touched her forehead.

Candice's eyes darkened, and she raised her eyelids to look at Alex beside the aisle.

He seemed to feel her gaze and just so happened to glance over, and their eyes met in the air.

His gaze was extremely cold.

Candice paused, calmly withdrew her gaze, raised her hand to press the service bell, and summoned a flight attendant.

She asked, "When is the plane expected to land?"

"It's not clear yet. We will arrange for landing immediately when the weather clears."

Candice nodded, "Can I have a glass of water?"

Having just woken up and experienced turbulence, there was a bloated feeling in her stomach.

Fortunately, the plane landed faster than expected. Just as Candice was recovering, the plane had already landed.

She was the last one to leave the cabin. Before going out, she happened to meet the flight attendant who had just poured water for her.

Candice paused and asked in a low voice, "Did someone come to my seat while I was sleeping just now?"

The flight attendant paused, then apologized, "There was a sudden air current at that time. Seeing you sleeping uncomfortably, I thought you might be unwell, so I came over to check."

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I apologize."

Candice lowered her eyelashes, suppressed the thoughts, and said nothing.

As soon as her phone turned on, she received a message from Yana, asking if she had arrived at the airport, mentioning the sudden heavy rain in Solaris and the news saying many planes were stranded in the air.

Candice replied with a few voice messages and then put her phone away.

She still felt tired, especially considering the environment on the plane, combined with her own physical discomfort, so she was somewhat exhausted.

However, with the pouring rain outside, she waited for half an hour without any signs of a single car, and even using her phone to call for a car proved unsuccessful.

The weather was causing significant disruptions.

"Candice." While constantly refreshing her phone, Candice heard someone calling her.

She turned around and saw Sawyer standing not far away. "It's pouring outside, so you probably can't get a cab. Mr. Elysian said he can give you a ride to the hotel."

A frown appeared on Candice's forehead, and only then did she notice that Alex was still on the phone on the other side.

She instinctively refused. "No need."

Sawyer, helpless, had to pick up his phone, "The heavy rain in Solaris is due to the influence of the typhoon. They've issued a notice of suspension. Even if you wait all night, you probably won't find a car."

Candice didn't move, and Sawyer could only say, "You can check it on your phone if you don't believe me."

She opened her phone, and indeed, it was as he had said.

She hesitated for a moment and looked in the direction of Alex.

Sawyer sighed, "You used to be an employee of Aether Corporation. Mr. Elysian won't be so cruel as to leave you here."

Coincidentally, Alex finished the call and walked over, his expression cold and indifferent.

His gaze lingered on Candice for a moment before retracting.

He simply instructed Sawyer in a low voice, "Let's go."

"Candice, where are you going?" Sawyer's voice came from the front.

Candice casually mentioned a location, the hotel Hanley had booked for her.

She sat in the back seat and gazed out of the car window.

Alex sat beside her, and in the enclosed car, it was hard not to feel his presence.

She tried not to think and not to look, but her nose could vaguely smell the pine scent on him.

"Are you also staying in that hotel?" Sawyer's surprised voice interrupted her thoughts. He smiled and said, "That's great. We're on the same route."

The hotel was booked by Hanley, quite famous in Solaris. Candice pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Her gaze stayed fixed on the cascading rain outside until Alex next to her chuckled.

He asked Candice, "Why do you look like you rather be somewhere else? Is it that terrible to have me send you to the hotel?"

Candice's face, even in the dark environment, was pale. Her lips moved slightly, and she said softly, "I appreciate it, Mr. Elysian."

The rain outside was indeed heavy. Even the trees on both sides of the road were swaying. If it weren't for Alex, Candice probably couldn't have found a cab.

The driver was driving slowly, and Alex casually said, "I don't see any sincerity in your gratitude."

Candice paused. She slowly moved her gaze away from the window, turning it to Alex and asking in an indescribable tone, "What do you think I would show you any sincerity?"

Alex tapped his finger on his leg twice carelessly and lazily as he drawled, "I'll ask you a question."

"Have you had sex with Hanley?"
