CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

If this had happened a couple of months back, Alyssa would’ve been very ecstatic. In fact, whatever her mother needed, she’d readily provide, as long as it meant that they’d grow closer together. However, after everything that had happened now, she knew that her mother’s intentions weren’t that simple.

How careless of her to use being busy as an excuse!

Being busy…her mother had always used that as an excuse, but whenever Skylar was involved, she’d drop everything and race out the front door. She never took any of Alyssa’s concerns to heart, which resulted in their estranged relationship.

Besides, Aurora was a full-time housewife. She didn’t even need to manage anything inside the house given the number of maids that Jason had hired. What could she busy herself with? Counting her money?

Alyssa remembered that day when she had bought a movie ticket and asked her mother watched it with her. Although hesitant, Aurora agreed, asking for her to wait in the cinema and that she’d meet her there.

However, up until the movie ended, Aurora never showed up.

When Alyssa returned home, she learned that it was because Skylar had gotten drunk at a party, Aurora was busy picking her up and sending her to the hospital that she paid no attention to the movie date she had promised her. Aurora even didn’t even bother to call Alyssa and kept her waiting until the movie ended.

A small bitter smile appeared across her lips. “Sure, send me the address.”

As soon as she hung up, Hazel shook her head in disappointment.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” She raised her eyebrows.

“Your mother invited you to dinner again?” Hazel said angrily, crossing her arms over her chest. “And you’re going? Do you really want to go back to her? After everything that bitch Skylar has done? I’m sure she’ll be there too.”

“Yes.” Alyssa confirmed, pulling Hazel to sit on the sofa. Before the later could continue with her rant, she asked, “Hey, I asked you to bring a brick on your way here. Did you bring it?”

“Yeah, it’s in the car. I’ll get it for you.” Hazel responded.

Even after numerous efforts, Alyssa still couldn’t break into her door. She didn’t know how long she’d have to wait if she were to call a locksmith, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. That was why she had asked Hazel to get her a brick.

“Holy Shit!” Hazel burst into laughter as soon as she figured out what Alyssa was trying to do. Just as she was about to join her, her manager called on her once again. Since her projects doubling due to her rising fame, she had gotten busy over the last few weeks.

Just as she was about to leave, she quickly waved Alyssa over. “Hey, do you mind taking a video of yourself? Just for entertainment purposes of course.”

Alyssa didn’t know how to reply. Did Hazel’s fans know how juvenile she was?
