CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa frowned, feeling as if she was coming down with a headache. This was just too complicated! It would’ve been easier if she had gone back to the villa herself. Besides, she didn’t have any need for any help either way!

After exiting the elevator, Skylar went out first. When Alyssa saw that Skylar was already a few steps ahead, she slowed down her pace and took her phone out of her pockets.

“Justin, you better pick up.” She murmured while dialing the number.

To her surprise, the man answered quickly. “What is it now?”

His mocking voice echoed from the other end of the line before she could even speak. “Have you decided not to treat me to a meal? Have you run away with the black card, stealing me from my own well-deserved dinner?

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Wait a second!

“Where are you now?” Alyssa froze, glancing at her surroundings every now and then. If the man was saying that she was trying to sneak out, then didn’t that mean that he was already here waiting for her?

Emmett looked up. “I’m at the entrance. If you aren’t planning on escaping, then I suggest you hurry up. If we arrive any later, there wouldn’t be any seats left.”

Before she could say anything, he had already hung up.

Ugh! Why was he so frustrating?

The only thing that was left for her to do is to wait and hope that Skylar and Henry had already left the building.

If Skylar saw that “Justin” had come by to pick her up once again, it was likely that she’d start spreading rumors. She’d holler at her for not being loyal, for hooking up with her husband’s cousin, and the like.

Although Emmett’s attitude towards her had eased up recently, his brotherhood with his cousin Justin was even better. If they were to have caused a scandal, then there was no doubt that the man wouldn’t stand on her side.

She squeezed her eyes shut. Just the thought of it was giving her an even larger headache.

It was a pity that her wish didn’t come true. As soon as she exited the building, Henry and Skylar were still waiting right out the entrance. It seemed that the couple really planned to wait for her.

As soon as she stood outside, Skylar lowered the car window. “Alyssa, get in. We’ll give you a lift.”
