The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 905

Candice texted a reply. "I'm busy at the moment."

Yet, Elio continued to message her.

"Can we talk in person?"

"Candice, you didn't turn me down initially. So, why the sudden change in your behavior? What do you mean by this?"

"I'm waiting for you. Are you coming down, or should I come up?"

Candice stared at Elio's messages on her phone, unsure how to respond. As her anxiety mounted, she turned and glanced at Vanessa.

With her extensive experience in matters of the heart, Vanessa was often regarded as somewhat of a love guru. Candice scooted her chair closer to Vanessa and whispered, "Vanessa, can I ask you something?"

Vanessa, who had been dozing off with her head resting on the desk, murmured sleepily, "Go ahead."

"My friend has had a crush on a guy she's known since they were kids. However, he's always kept his distance and even avoids her. He doesn't seem to like her much.

"But lately, as they've both gotten older, he's been reaching out to her and they've slept together twice without any strings attached. What do you think his intentions are?"

Vanessa sat up abruptly, her hand flying to cover her mouth in shock, her eyes wide as she looked at Candice.

Confused, Candice asked, "What's the matter?"

With a concerned expression, Vanessa frowned and said, "Candice, it's clear that someone is taking advantage of you."

"It's not me. I'm talking about my friend," Candice replied meekly.

"Oh, right, your friend." Vanessa quickly corrected herself, her expression softening into a sympathetic pout. "Babe, your friend has definitely been taken advantage of. That's terrible. Who's this jerk?"

Candice swallowed nervously, her breathing uneven. "What do you mean?"

"No matter how long she's been crushing on him, she doesn't deserve this treatment, alright? He's just toying with her emotions."

Candice grabbed her bag and left the office, looking despondent as if she had lost a piece of herself. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as she stood before the elevator.

The elevator chimed, and the doors slid open. She walked in with her head hung low, looking utterly listless.

At the same time, the doors of another elevator opened, and Elio emerged, walking briskly toward the design department with an air of anxiety.

As he passed, employees greeted him respectfully, their faces showing surprise. They were puzzled by his rare visit to the design department.

"Mr. Hoffis." The design department employees stood up, their eyes following him with apprehension.

Elio glanced around the department but couldn't spot Candice. He approached the nearest employee, the question ready on his lips.
