CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 53

Alyssa stared at the coffee stains on his buttoned-up shirt and raised an eyebrow. “You can’t even hold a cup of coffee properly,” she commented sarcastically. “They say that if something’s wrong with your hand coordination, your kidney isn’t good. Think they could say the same for you?”

Emmett pursed his lips and placed the cup on top of the table. He didn’t bother to wipe the stains from his suit as he stood up. “There’s nothing wrong with my hand coordination, I assure you. Unless, of course, you’d like to test it out?” After that, he winked.

She didn’t even bother to look at him as she turned around and walked towards the door. “Dream on!”

Her arrogant voice echoed throughout the hallway just as the door had slammed shut.

He blinked in surprise.

Did this woman grow a pair of wings since she had removed her makeup, that she’d actually dared to challenge him? His eyes flashed with amusement as he stared at her retreating figure.

Alyssa ran out of the villa. As soon as she was out of his reach, she patted her chest as she sighed in relief. Thank God! The last thing she needed was to trap herself under him again.

At this point, she knew for a fact that she shouldn’t show any sort of weakness.

The corners of her lips rose into a smirk. Not only had she walked away from him, but she also snapped back at him. At this point, she was invincible!

Maybe “Justin” wasn’t as scary as he had initially seemed.

There was no way she was going to allow herself to be threatened by him.

Alyssa went to the Moore Group. Her thoughts were wandering elsewhere as her car sped down the highway.

Back when she was younger, she followed Skylar into the company once. After that she could only stand outside the building every time she passed by.

In the past, her biggest wish was only Aurora to recognize her as her daughter. She had never thought that she’d be able to enter the Moore Group and get more shares than any of them.

In fact, she had never thought that Jason himself would be the one to invite, no beg for her to come over.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her chin and went to the building.

Alyssa didn’t have a work permit, as it was her first day here. The moment she had entered, one of the receptionists stopped her at the front desk. “Miss, may I ask who you’re looking for?”
