CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

The manager was a bald, middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Skylar coming his way, he smiled so brightly that his eyes had narrowed. There was something greasy about the way the man patted his hair. Even his skin was so oily that it glistened under the dim lights.

He greeted respectfully. “Second Lady, why did you come over?”

Skylar crossed her arms, nodding in Alyssa’s direction. “Manager Black, this is the new market researcher for the department. Take her with you, and make sure to take good care of her.”

Although she asked him to ‘take care’ of Alyssa, her actions had proven otherwise. With how far they were standing apart from one another, they could even look like enemies.

Manager Black understood what she was trying to say and nodded. “I’ll take good care of her.”

“As you say that, I feel more assured.” Skylar didn’t say anything else as she made her way out the door. However, before she left, she glanced in Alyssa’s direction one last time. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t believe that the latter had changed this much in the past few days.

Her cold and impassive words were enough to make the manager more certain of what Skylar meant by ‘care’. After all, everyone knew that the marketing department was one of the most tedious departments around here. He was sure that she wanted him to give this woman a hard time.

“Second Lady, take care!” The manager smiled as he walked her right out the door. When Skylar finally left, the grin disappeared from his features as the manager looked the woman in front of him. “So, what’s your name?”

“Alyssa Moore.”

Manager Black returned to his desk and sat down. He then started to size her up.

As he looked at her, his eyes drifted down her body. Although Skylar was beautiful, he had to admit that the woman in front of him was more beautiful than the former.

“Your surname’s Moore? You have connections with the Chairman’s family?” The manager frowned as he started interrogate.

She resisted the urge to wrinkle her nose at the sight of his lustful gaze. “We’re distant relatives.”

It was obvious that Manager Black was no more than a suck-up. It was no wonder that the Moore Group hadn’t been exponentially advancing in the corporate sector. With so many unqualified men in position, it was starting to get ridiculous.

While she was thinking of the company’s future, the manager had other plans. He looked at her for a long time. If they were distant relatives, that meant that she didn’t have any deep relationship with him. That was good.

He finally figured out the situation, and a lustful smile appeared into his lips. “As long as you do well, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

He deliberately emphasized the word ‘do’. Suddenly, Alyssa could feel her appetite falling into the pits of her stomach. Her eyes filled with disgust as she retreated her gaze from his lustful grin.

‘I’ll show you, bastard.’ She thought in her mind.

However, she didn’t say much in opposition after that. Seeing her silence, the manager leaned back in satisfaction and led her to the small office compartment just down the hall.

Even after she had introduced herself, Alyssa could still feel her other colleagues staring her way.
