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

Chapter 0561

Yana said her friend had invested in the restaurant, so she took Candice directly into the excellently decorated private room.

Yana hadn't recognized the person in front of her yet, but she was already displeased, her voice sinking, "What kind of service attitude is this? I'm going to complain and call your manager!"

The red wine accidentally spilled by Sonia stained the table, leaving a large mark on the snow-white tablecloth.

Yana was about to ring the bell when she noticed Sonia's alternating expressions of paleness and anger. Frowning, Yana said, "What's with that expression? Am I bullying you?"

Sonia stiffly glanced at Candice before lowering her head and apologizing softly, "Sorry, madams."

Yana wanted to say something more, but Candice spoke up, "Let's just have the manager send someone else to serve us. I think Ms. Summers might not be very good at this kind of thing."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

As soon as the words "Ms. Summers" came out, Candice could clearly sense Sonia's sluggishness.

She looked at Sonia expressionlessly. "I knew you were stupid when you were at Aether Corporation, but I didn't expect you to be the same now." The reason Yana was so angry was because spilled wine had almost landed on Ellis.

Candice wiped Ellis's hands while saying to Sonia, "I'm surprised. It turns out you can't even do brainless work properly."

There was a deep hatred between Candice and Sonia. Even if Candice's temperament was stable, she couldn't have a good expression when seeing Sonia. Her expression was indifferent, as if she were just stating something normal, but this normalcy made Sonia even more uncomfortable.

It had been like this for a long time. She always had an inherent sense of inferiority in front of Candice.

Suddenly, Sonia remembered that she used to stand in front of Candice as a waitress.

The difference was that back then, she was envying Candice's happiness, but now she had been worn down by life and clearly recognized the gap between her and Candice.

Just like now, after struggling for years to climb up the ladder, she had still returned to the starting point.

Lost in thought, Sonia left.

Yana said, "I need to give feedback to my friend. This place hires all sorts of people, aren't they afraid that it'll lower their standards. But how could she work as a waitress here?"

Candice shook her head. She didn't know about Sonia's situation. There used to be Kayla to keep her informed, but after she went abroad, she didn't contact Kayla much.

However, it was expected that Sonia's job wouldn't go smoothly. Her work ethic was very poor. She didn't have any outstanding achievements when she was at Aether Corporation. Even when she moved to Horizon Holdings later, she hadn't distinguished herself with anything spectacular.

Although her work ability was poor, Candice was still a little surprised that she would come to work as a waitress at the restaurant. But this wasn't something she should worry about.

She looked up at Yana and changed the subject. "How is the preparation for your company going? Have you assembled the team?" Yana's attention was diverted by the business at hand, and she no longer paid attention to Sonia.

After dinner, Yana took Candice back to the hotel. As they were leaving, they happened to see Sonia being scolded by the manager.

It was still midday, and they had arrived late, so there were few people in the restaurant, and Sonia's voice apologizing for her mistake was very clear. After seeing Yana, the manager came over to greet her and apologized profusely. Sonia stood there, feeling like a complete clown.

She had never lifted her head in front of Candice.

She twisted her fingers and accidentally touched the wound she had cut while cooking earlier. The intense pain spread from her fingertips, as if reminding her of all the miserable moments during this period.

Finally, she raised her head and looked at Candice.

She wanted to see why Candice was always so radiant, why she, who was also from the lower class, could always be so superior.

So, trembling, she said, "Candice, can I talk to you?"

Candice replied indifferently, "What do we have to talk about?"

Sonia stubbornly looked at her. "What happened between me and Alex? Don't you want to know?"

Candice's cold eyes showed no emotion. After a while, she replied lightly, "I don't want to know."

With an urgent expression on her face, Sonia couldn't help but blurt out, "Alex doesn't like me at all! Not at all!"

This statement was accompanied by an urgent roar and some pain. After saying this, in the eyes that had long been tortured into numbness, there was suddenly some painful emotion.

As if she were talking to herself, she said, "Do you know, even when he was with me, as soon as you appeared, his gaze would always be on you.

"It was as if as long as you were there, he couldn't see anyone else. So, Candice, do you know how much I hate you? If it weren't for you... If it weren't for you, Alex would like me."

As she spoke, Sonia squatted down and hugged her knees.

Candice looked down at her, her voice calm as she reminded her, "Why do you think he would like you? Didn't you start out with a contract?"

Sonia froze, looking at Candice with disbelief. "He told you?"

Candice didn't answer, but the meaning was pretty clear.

Sonia laughed, or rather, it wasn't quite accurate to call it laughter; it was more like a mixture of laughter and tears.

"It's my fault. It's my fault from the beginning. I shouldn't have daydreamed." Then she looked up at Candice, her eyes red, tears filling them. "Do you know how much I've sacrificed to stand in front of Alex-

"My family background is ordinary, my abilities are not outstanding, but I was able to stand in front of him using all my courage and effort! Do you know why? Because I've liked him for two years! Exactly two years!"

UAS

Sonia covered her face in pain, her voice dry, as if recalling some desperate event.

Many people thought Sonia had been suddenly noticed by Alex, but only she knew how long she had been infatuated with the man.

Sonia's family background wasn't

good, so she had been working hard

since college. At that time, she had worked as a waitress in a high-end restaurant, where she often saw Alex bringing Candice to eat. At that time, she didn't know Alex's identity; she just hid in the shadows like a thief, secretly spying on their happiness.

At that time, she couldn't help but fantasize about having such a handsome and gentle boyfriend herself. So, she unconsciously started to mimic Candice's demeanor. Her face was round, as delicate as Candice's, so Sonia

had dieted for a month.

Alex liked Candice's ponytail, so she started tying her hair in a ponytail too.

Anything Alex liked about Candice, she had tried to imitate. Until one day, the handsome and tall man finally stood in front of her.
