CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa was unconvinced that Hazel used the adjective “handsome” to describe “Justin”. She wrinkled her nose. “You can say whatever you want but it’s useless. Appearances are nothing if your personality’s a size of a peanut.”

Hazel shook her head, as she took a sip of her juice. “I don’t believe that you weren’t fascinated by Justin. I mean, who wouldn’t? Have you ever seen him? Even if he wear a sack, he will still look good! I don’t know where your eyes have been, but you should start using them.”

Hazel stretched out her hand and made a gesture. She looked like a hooligan.

Was she fascinated by “Justin”?

As soon as the thought appeared, she sneered. “Please, no matter what he’s a jerk.”

Women would be attracted by beautiful flowers, let alone a man like “Justin.” “Justin” may be the most handsome man that she’d ever met, but that still didn’t make him admirable. Remembering what he had done to her in the past, she suppressed a anger.

“I actually haven’t seen Emmett till now. They are all Lawrences. So if he hadn’t been disfigured from the kidnapping, he would’ve been even more good-looking man than “Justin.””

She sighed. Her voice was resigned and filled with sadness for the man who she had never met. Although the man was cold and harsh, she could understand where that was coming from. They had never bothered with each other before, but perhaps, that was the reason why she felt more acquainted with him than “Justin.”

“You’re telling me you still haven’t seen him till now? Haven’t you been married for two and a half months?” After saying that, Hazel drank a full glass of water to calm down.

Then recalling Justin’s reaction, Hazel sighed. “Well, I could tell that you’re very special to Justin. I mean, the man could barely look at me without wanting to murder me, but he’s much gentler to you. It’s as if you’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Justin” treated her gently? When did that happen?

Alyssa shook her head. “It’s your illusion.”

Hey, that is so not–” Hazel was about to argue when her phone rang out. She frowned and picked up.

It was her manager.

As soon as she hung up, she grabbed her bag. “He asked me to head to the company. There seems to be an emergency meeting. I swear, all I ask is for one quiet meal with you without him calling, and he’s at it again!”

Alyssa comforted her. “I am not going anywhere. After you shoot the film, I’ll treat you a meal.”

…

After parting ways with her friend, Alyssa headed straight back to the villa.

As soon as she walked in, she saw “Justin” in the living room.

He still didn’t look like he had recovered. He was dressed in a baggy shirt and a pair of pants. There were still dark circles around his eyes, and he still appeared a bit pale.

There was a laptop in front of him and a glass of water beside him. Even at this moment he was still working on his laptop, not even bothering to stop and drink his water.
