Sadie arranged for a task that required Vanessa to leave the place. 15 minutes later, Vanessa hurriedly walked out of the movie theater.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"What the fuck? Why are they making me rush a PowerPoint on a weekend?" she grumbled. "They need it tomorrow but didn't say anything earlier. What time is it now? Jeez..."

Vanessa cursed as she walked. She quickly passed by Josie and left the theater in a rush.

Mission accomplished. Now, Josie just needed to wait for the results.

Two hours later, Candice walked out of the theater alongside Wendell. They took the elevator down and headed outside.

"I'll take you home," Wendell offered politely.

Candice declined his offer with a smile, "It's okay. I'll just take a cab."

"It's not safe to take a cab by yourself."

"Really, it's fine."

Just as Candice finished speaking, she suddenly stopped in the middle of the plaza. Her heart skipped a beat as she nervously looked at the car in front of her.

Elio sat in the driver's seat of a luxury car. He rolled down the window, looking at Candice and then the man beside her.

His expression was cold, and his eyes were filled with anger. He exuded a chilling and terrifying air.

Candice had no idea why Elio was so furious.

She felt her heart pounding. At the same time, she was overwhelmed with anxiety, embarrassment, and shame. Her palms were sweaty as she lowered her gaze, unable to look into his eyes.

She didn't know how to face Elio and Josie in the future.

At that moment, Josie walked out. She passed by Candice and said quietly, "I just came out from the restroom. I didn't expect Leo to arrive this fast. We're leaving now, Candice."

Candice forced a stiff smile. She waved at Josie and bid farewell to her.

"Bye," Josie said. She then walked to the front passenger seat of Elio's car and got in.

Elio looked at her coldly. "Why are you getting in?' he asked in confusion.

Josie grinned, "My aunt had something come up and left not long ago. Can you give me a ride?"

Elio was in a terrible mood. "Get out," he ordered coldly.

Josie sighed, "You saw it yourself. Candice always has men around her. She had Mervyn before. Now that he's gone abroad, she has a new boyfriend. She'd choose anyone but you, Elio."

Elio gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white with the strain. He stared straight ahead, his eyes bloodshot, and his breathing quickened.

"Get lost," Elio growled, unable to hold back his anger any longer. He was very harsh toward Josie.

Josie froze in fear. She glanced outside the window and saw Candice and Wendell step to the curb, hailing a cab.

She deliberately stalled for the time and said quietly, "Alright, don't be mad. I'm getting out now. But as your friend, let me say it again. Don't waste your feelings and time on Candice. She'll never love you."

Elio slowly closed his eyes. He felt as if his chest was being painfully torn apart.

Frustrated, Josie reluctantly got out of the car.

Elio started the engine and left the plaza. While driving, he saw Candice getting into the cab alone. The man was not accompanying her.

As the cab left, he followed.

Throughout the ride, Candice leaned against the window. Feeling lost and heartbroken, she silently wiped away her tears.
