As interested as Candice was, she was a busy woman and preferred to deal with the business directly. Beating around the bush was not her style, so adopting a serious expression she looked at the Heavenly Palace's young master and said, "Well, young Andrew, as fun as the talk is, I don't have much time to waste, can you share your thoughts?".
Hearing her, Andrew pushed his relaxed demeanor aside and also took on a serious expression. Immediately the atmosphere in the office changed, the silence lasted a few seconds, then Andrew spoke, "Honestly, it's nothing extraordinary. The gift was certainly as a thank you, although I know you didn't help us on purpose."
Andrew paused his thoughts and spoke again, "To be honest, wanting to meet you, was just to get to know you better and to establish a friendship in the same way." Candice looked deeply at the young man trying to find signs of some ploy, but she realized that the young man was sincere, which surprised her.
