Chapter 344:
“Can’t you explain it to me tonight?” he pleaded.
Milton was desperate for answers and didn’t want to wait until the next day.
“I’m attending the birthday party of the Yamonia ambassador’s wife tonight.” Candice shook her head and pulled away.
She casually ran her fingers through her hair and headed toward the door.
As Candice walked away, she turned back to face Milton and asked, “Can you send me the information on the stalking horse bid and your lawyer team’s personal details? There’s something I still want to figure out.”
Candice had a hunch that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, and she hoped it was just a baseless suspicion.
Milton was taken aback by the sudden change of topic but nodded. “Sure.”
Candice rushed out of Milton’s office, embarrassed by her loss of composure. She could only hide her emotions by bringing up a work-related topic.
She knew she had lost control earlier when she didn’t resist him and even wrapped her arms around his neck. Her face flushed red, and she couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
As she hurried out, Milton leaned back against his desk, crossing his long legs with a satisfied smile.
He folded his arms over his chest, feeling ecstatic.
He believed his relationship with Candice had taken a step forward, even though he hadn’t gotten a clear answer from her.
She had been worried about him, so when she discovered the problem with the stalking horse bid, she forgot about her meeting at the law firm and rushed straight to him, saving him from a huge loss.
Moments ago, he had kissed her on impulse and almost slept with her.
The fact that she had responded to his kiss had made him lose control, and he nearly crossed the line right there in the office.

It was a good start for him.
She had gradually fallen in love with him.
They would probably be together soon.
He chuckled softly.
But then, he remembered what she had said before leaving.
“Do you think that I’m like you?”
He couldn’t quite understand what she meant, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was that she wanted to have an important discussion with him. That alone filled him with happiness. Though he wouldn’t speak with her until the next day, it felt like things were finally looking up between them.
Glancing at his schedule, he realized that night was indeed the birthday party of the Yamonia ambassador’s wife. He had no intention of going, but his mother, Erica, would be there.
Gazing out the window at the breathtaking view of Sowley Mountain, he found himself looking forward to the next day more than ever before.
Meanwhile, Candice rushed out of the Royal Garden Corporation and hailed a cab that took her straight to the Hope Law Firm. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, and no matter how deeply she tried to breathe, she couldn’t calm down.
