CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 458

Alyssa subconsciously nodded her head. Then she remembered that Hazel could not see her current actions and said, "I was the one who called him."

"You called him and he went to pick you up? I don't believe that he doesn't feel anything for you."

At this moment, Hazel's assistant's voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "Sister Hazel, we are about to board the plane."

Hazel softly replied, "You go first."

Then Hazel turned to the phone and said, "Alyssa, I will board the plane first. I still need to transfer to the train. I don't think I have much time to contact you. When I come back, he might have already recovered his memory."

"Have a safe journey. When I have time, I will go to visit you."

"It's too far over there and it's inconvenient to travel. Don't go there."

"Okay, hurry up and board the plane."

Alyssa urged Hazel to hang up the phone and took a taxi back by the roadside.

The house was empty. Alyssa changed her clothes and carried her laptop and tablet to the window to prepare for work.

Although she had read the "Lost City" several times, she still had to pay attention to the details in case

there was an obvious bug that was discovered by the audience.

In this industry, not only did she have to satisfy the audience's aesthetic standards, she also had high requirements for herself.

For example, to write a small business meeting or exterminate the bandits, she might need to look up dozens of pages of information. But what she needed in the end was just one or two pages.

Although she already had the first book as the foundation, writing the second book was no different from writing a new story. So she needed to come up with some new stories and put the old clues together into a coherent story line.

Alyssa played "Lost City" on the tablet computer and tapped on the laptop.

When she was tired, she took out her phone and went online to watch entertainment news.

The news about her and Henry had long been canceled. There was basically no official media on the Internet that still kept this report.

As for other small media companies that did not have much authority, no one would care.

Alyssa read the news from the beginning to the end. Apart from some celebrity scandals and the publicity of the new drama, there was nothing interesting.

After she finished reading the first page of the news, she went back to the top and habitually refreshed it. Then, she found a new headline.

"Breaking News: The president of the Lawrence Group entered the police station late at night and took a woman away. He seems to have a new lover."

Alyssa clicked in. The picture inside was obviously taken from a distant camera, because he picture looked very blurry.

The background was outside the police station. Emmett's tall and straight body was next to a woman with disheveled hair.

Emmett's face was not very clear. However, he had shown his face many times in the past few years. Even if he did not show his face, it was easy for others to recognize his temperament.

And the woman with disheveled hair beside him...

After Alyssa enlarged the picture several times, she could not believe that it was herself.

This picture did not take a clear picture of her face. She only saw the way she held Emmett's arm and her messy hair. She felt a little shy.

This news comment was similar to what she thought.

"You told me that this woman is Young Master Lawrence’s new lover? Does Young Master Lawrence like this kind of women?”

"Hahaha, this woman looks like she's crazy."

Alyssa sneered and thought. ‘You're the one who's crazy.’

She continued to read the comments.

"This photo did not take a picture of this woman's face. Maybe she is Young Master Lawrence's cousin or something?"

"I don't think that's possible. According to the rumors, Young Master Lawrence is a very cold person. He will not be so close to his cousin."

"That's not right. Didn't Young Master Lawrence have a fiancée? I didn't hear that he broke up with his fiancée either."

"A husband and wife can get a divorce, let alone a fiancée."

Only then did Alyssa remember that Emmett and Marilyn were "unmarried couple.”

Thinking about this, Alyssa became even more depressed.

The news had just been released and she did not know if Emmett knew.

Maybe Emmett would think that she was the one who leaked the news to a certain media outlet.

Alyssa found his phone and called Emmett.

Emmett only said one word coldly on the other end of the phone, "Speak."

He was really cold.

Alyssa said, "When you went to the police station to pick me up last night, you were photographed by the media. Now it's on the news. It should have just been posted."

After a moment of silence, Emmett's voice sounded again, "Got it."

She felt that Emmett was about to hang up the phone after he finished speaking, so she hurriedly called out, "Emmett."

Emmett's tone clearly showed some impatience. "Is there anything else?"

"Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?" After saying that, Alyssa added, "You can tell me what you want to eat."

Emmett nodded. "Okay."

Alyssa was a little surprised. She did not expect Emmett to agree directly.

Emmett hung up the phone and sent a text message to Alyssa. It was a string of dishes.

She had just asked Emmett if he wanted to come over for dinner. In fact, she was indirectly asking him for an answer.

If Emmett was still thinking about the news about her and Henry, he would not have come over for dinner. However, he agreed to come over for dinner. This meant that Emmett was no longer concerned about that matter.

It was a fictitious matter to begin with.

Because Emmett was coming over for dinner tonight, Alyssa drove out in the afternoon to buy groceries.

She went to a bigger shopping mall in the city center.

After she came out of the parking lot, she always felt that someone was looking at her.

Until she entered the supermarket, the feeling was even more obvious.

She looked back warily, flashed into the center of a row of shelves, and then quickly went around the corner to hide.

Alyssa did not stand at the corner for long before a woman walked over. It was as if she was looking for someone.

Alyssa only saw her face clearly when the woman got closer.

It was actually Aurora!

Taking advantage of Aurora not seeing her, Alyssa turned around and planned to quietly leave.

However, it was already too late.

"Alyssa!"

Aurora called out to her and hurriedly walked in front of her to block her way. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She carefully looked at Alyssa and her eyes flashed with surprise, "It really is you!"

Alyssa raised her head to look at Aurora and called out expressionlessly, "Madam Moore."

When Aurora heard this, the expression on her face changed, "Alyssa, it has been so long since we last saw each other but you still hate me in your heart."

Almost immediately, Alyssa firmly replied, "No."

Aurora raised her head to look at her and a hint of confusion flashed across her eyes.

"We have nothing to do with each other. Why should I hate you? If I really hate you, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand here and talk to me anymore."

Alyssa's current mood was as calm as her tone of voice.

She no longer had any feelings for Aurora. If she did not appear, Alyssa would even forget about her existence.
