CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 99

Alyssa's confusion deepened, "Why are you looking for me?"

But she also knew this was not the place to talk. She grabbed his arm, pulled “Justin” and walked out.

Emmett was being pulled by her. Because he was tall, she had to take two steps each time he took a step. This way, there was a sense of calmness on his body.

"Why are you looking for me?" After leaving the Moore Group, Alyssa asked the same question again.

In her opinion, “Justin” would not come to her for no reason.

"Justin" did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he looked at her without batting an eyelid.

Alyssa had cried before. Although there was no trace of it now, Emmett still noticed that her eyes were a little swollen and there was a trace of unusual redness in them.

She had cried before?

But why?

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He really could not associate the word "Alyssa" with "crying”.

Moreover, she was still in the Moore Group. She couldn't possibly have cried because Jason, could she?

After a few seconds, Emmett said, "I'm passing by. Please treat me to a meal."

His tone sounded like he deserved a beating.

"Justin" was her benefactor. Alyssa would satisfy his request as long as it was not too much.

Alyssa took him to a restaurant a little far away from the company. It was not easy for them to meet colleagues in the company there, so it would be less troublesome.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the two of them sat down. "Justin" did not say anything, but Alyssa could feel that he did not like this place very much.

She could actually quite understand him.

He was the young master of an aristocratic family. Usually, he would go to a place like Golden Fountain Club for a meal. He completely treated Golden Fountain as his family's kitchen.

He was the one who asked her to treat him to a meal. A meal like this would cost at least a few hundred yuan. It was quite expensive for her.

Thinking of this, Alyssa could not help but touch her own wallet. Her expression was a little distressed.

Emmett noticed Alyssa's expression and the corner of his mouth could not help but raise. Of course he knew she was very poor.

But squeezing her to treat him to a meal and taking advantage of her was really an interesting thing for him.

The waiter came over to order. Alyssa pushed the menu to "Justin." "You can order first."

"Justin" did not stand on ceremony. He opened the menu and read the names of three dishes in a row.

Alyssa knew that the dishes in front of the menu were the signature dishes of the restaurant. They were all quite expensive.

Emmett turned the menu back and ordered a soup. He then looked up at Alyssa and asked with a serious expression. "Am I ordering too much?"

Alyssa shook her head. "Not much."

She remembered that the last time she had a meal with them in Golden Fountain, there were only four or five people. A big table of dishes was no worse than the Manchu Han Banquet.

Emmett nodded in agreement. "Then I'll order two more."

Alyssa had nothing to say.

Emmett looked at the menu and frowned slightly. "There's nothing to eat."

Then he passed the menu to Alyssa.

Alyssa's lifestyle was actually quite simple. She felt that two people eating three dishes and one soup was completely enough.

But when she thought that it was the young master of Lawrence family “Justin” sitting across from her, she added two more dishes and a snack. Otherwise, she would feel wronged.

After ordering the dishes, Alyssa got up and went to the bathroom.

Emmett saw her disappear and called the waiter over. He handed her a card. "Pay the bill."

…

Alyssa came out of the bathroom and saw Skylar.

However, Skylar did not see Alyssa because her back was facing Alyssa as she walked out of the door.

Alyssa deliberately slowed her steps and landed behind Skylar. She did not want Skylar to see her eating with “Justin” and then cause unnecessary trouble.

However, Skylar walked in the same direction as Alyssa. So Alyssa could only walk slower and slower.

Until Skylar entered a room.

When Alyssa passed by the private room, she stopped slightly.

The sound insulation of the private room in the restaurant was not very good.

There were sounds of argument coming from inside.

Skylar's voice was sharp. The volume that came out from the room had lowered considerably. "You

can't return the black card to her!"

"What do you want?"

The one who spoke was Jason. His voice was a little softer than Skylar’s. She could not hear what he said.

Were these two father and daughter quarreling over the matter of returning the black card?

From the time the factory's matter was exposed until now, it was not even 24 hours. This was the second time Alyssa heard Jason and Skylar quarreling.

Jason really doted on Skylar, and Skylar was really spoiled. Now that the Moore Group was in danger, she did not think about how to help Jason resolve the company crisis, but quarreled with Jason for her own personal gain.

If Skylar treated Jason like this, wouldn't she be even more heartless towards Aurora in the future?

Alyssa's mood was a little complicated and she did not want to care about Aurora anymore. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

No matter how Skylar treated Aurora in the future, this was Aurora's own choice.

Even when she used the black card to save Aurora, Aurora was not even touched at all. Instead, she wanted to curry favor with her and make use of it in the future.

Alyssa took a deep breath and relaxed her emotions. She returned to the table where "Justin" was.

There were already several dishes served. "Justin" did not even touch his chopsticks. What was he doing with his phone?

He felt someone coming over. He looked up and his eyes paused on Alyssa's face for a second. Then he put down his phone and said calmly. "I was just about to call Frank."

Alyssa looked puzzled. "Why?”

"Tell him to take someone to the toilet and get you out," Justin said seriously.

Alyssa “…”

Alright, she went to the bathroom for more than 20 minutes.

Alyssa did not reply. "Justin" might feel bored, so he did not say anything else but did not eat much.

When she was about to pay, the waiter passed a card to Alyssa. "Hello, your husband has already bought the bill. He spent a total of 680 yuan."

"My husband?"

Alyssa did not realize that the waiter was talking about “Justin”. The first person she thought of was Emmett.

She turned to “Justin” and asked, "Justin, is your cousin eating here?"

His expressionless face suddenly darkened. He gave her a cold glance, turned around, and strode out.

He walked very quickly like the wind under his feet.

Emmett felt that if he did not walk a little faster, he might not be able to resist beating Alyssa up.

The waiter realized that he had misunderstood the relationship between these two guests and hurriedly explained. "I'm sorry. I thought that gentleman and you were husband and wife. It was that gentleman who paid the bill just now."

Alyssa was stunned for a moment before she took the card and chased after him.

"Justin" did not go far. When Alyssa chased after him, he was on the phone.
