CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 64

Emmett was supposed to leave the premises after Alyssa had said her answer. After all, it would’ve been out of character if he had stayed there and inserted himself into their conversation.

However, as soon as he recalled what Skylar had done to her the last time, he decided to return. As long as they still weren’t on company premises, then there might be a chance that she’d try something.

What he didn’t expect was to witness a good show.

In his entire life, other than his mother, this was the first time he had been protected by a woman. Somehow, he couldn’t help but reminisce the times his mother had pushed him behind her back, towering over anyone who’d go against him.

An inexplicable warmth surged through his veins, and he couldn’t help but soften at the sight. He couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. Unknowingly, the corners of his lips twitched up into a smile.

This feeling was wonderful.

Alyssa had been wearing thick leather shoes that were about three to four centimeters high. Despite this, it didn’t really hurt that much.

However, Skylar wasn’t the type of woman who would humble herself that easily. Alyssa should be the one bowing down to her! Not stepping on her toes! For someone who had been so obedient the last twenty or something years, she really had turned a one eighty.

When she raced into the Moore Group’s main hall, Alyssa had reached into the elevator. Turning around, Alyssa flashed Skylar a provocative smile before pressing the close button. “Let’s see you try and catch me this time.”

When Skylar finally caught up to her, the elevator had already gone up.

Within a few seconds, Alyssa exited the elevator and walked straight into Jason’s office.

Last Friday Jason had called her up and asked her to come by the office on Monday to tell her off. Of course, she still remembered his words. However, that didn’t mean that she planned on following his orders obediently.

She didn’t wait long before Jason came in.

Skylar followed right behind him.

“Dad! Alyssa is too much. Although I may have a bad temper, that still doesn’t justify her actions, right?” Skylar complained, unaware of Alyssa’s presence in the office. “I’m the project manager, aren’t I? If she doesn’t take me seriously, what else would she do to you?”

Ha! Alyssa stifled a snort as she tilted her head upwards, gazing innocently at the father and daughter duo.

What Skylar said was wrong. She didn’t have a bad temper. She just had a dark soul.
