Chapter 0556
Candice took a moment to remember who Susan was.
Yana's ex-boyfriend, Mason, had betrayed Yana because of this woman.
She spoke gently, "You're capable, and in the business world, socializing and relationships are the most important, and you have both."
Yana laughed. "I think so too."
The day before Yana left, she came to have a meal with Candice. However, Candice received a call from Darius, who asked her to accompany Bella for dinner.
Although Candice was puzzled why Darius would ask her, she still asked Yana to help take care of Ellis and went by herself.
Darius had arranged to meet at a restaurant. When Candice arrived, she saw Bella, but Darius was also there.
However, as soon as Darius saw her, he stood up and touched Bella's head. "Eat well, I'll come to pick you up later."
Bella agreed softly, and Darius turned to Candice. "She hasn't been eating well lately. You can chat with her. I'll come to pick her up at eight-thirty." Candice had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with what Darius said, but she could not figure out what the problem was in a short period. After Darius left, she sat down opposite Bella and said, "I heard that you asked me to come and have dinner with you. What's the matter?"
Bella held the cup awkwardly and said in a very soft voice, "Sorry, I just... just wanted to....."
Candice looked at her and picked up the menu next to her. "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Bella hesitated and said, "Anything is fine."
After Candice finished ordering, she seemed to want to say something more, when Bella bit her lip and shook her head slightly, then pointed at a butterfly brooch on her clothes.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Her distinct eyes looked at Candice with longing. Candice's gaze fell and realized that there was a listening device on the butterfly brooch.
Bella obviously had something to say, and she could not let the person on the other end of the device hear it.
As for who the person on the other end of the device would be, Candice knew it very well.
She breathed much shallower and
her palms were sweaty. Then she raised her hand and called the waiter. "Please give me a glass of water. Miss Quimby, Would you like to have a drink?"
Bella said softly, "I..."
"Maybe you can try the specialty drinks of this store. I've been here once before and it tastes pretty good. Darius said that you haven't had a good appetite recently l recommend you to try it."
After Candice finished speaking, she smiled at Bella and quietly pushed a notebook in front of Bella. She had written a question on it.
"You came to me because of Darius?"
Bella was stunned, first nodded, and then shook her head.
Candice lowered her eyes, and as the food was being served, she did not ask any more questions.
Bella seemed to be hesitant to speak, but seeing that Candice had no desire to speak, she could only lower her head and eat, although she did not eat much.
After the meal, Candice went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, and Bella followed her. The two stood silently in front of the mirror, neither speaking.
At half past eight, as soon as Candice and Bella left the restaurant, Darius' figure appeared.
And appearing with Darius was Alex.
It was obvious that Darius had gone to see Alex tonight.
When Alex saw Candice, the emotions in his eyes surged, but finally calmed back down.
After a while, he finally said, "It's not safe at night, I'll take you back."
Candice glanced at Bella and nodded. "Okay."
Alex had driven over, and he opened the door for Candice before getting in the car.
Candice took the initiative and said, "Were you passing by?"
"Darius said you were here," Alex replied. "Cici, I have something to give you, and... I also want to explain to you about Sonia."
