CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 302

Alyssa sat on the toilet in the room. She had a bad feeling when she heard someone knocking on the door of the cubicle one by one.

Could it be Henry?

However, when she thought about Henry's personality, she felt that it could not be him.

Although Henry had changed a lot, his love for face hadn't changed.

Therefore, it definitely wouldn't be Henry.

Then who was it?

At this time, the person who knocked on the door one by one, had already been standing outside her cubical, knocking on the door.

Knock knock knock!

This person knocked twice or thrice consecutively. She could feel the steady rhythm which gave away the stable personality of the person who knocked.

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat.

She felt that it might be Emmett…

A person's sixth sense was such a strange thing.

They were clearly separated by a door. The two of them did not speak, nor could they see each other. But Alyssa could confirm that the person outside was Emmett.

Alyssa pinched her nose and lowered her voice. "Who is it? I am not done yet."

The next moment, Emmett's slightly gloomy voice sounded from outside. "Do you need my help?"

It was really Emmett!

Alyssa patted her forehead.

How did Emmett find this place?

Could it be that he had installed a GPS tracking system on her?

Alyssa decided to struggle. "This is the women's restroom. Why did a man like you come in? If you don't go out, I will call the police. I…"

Emmett interrupted her. "Come out yourself or I will kick the door. Choose one."

His tone was extremely cold. Alyssa shivered when she heard him.

Could she not choose either?

However, her body had already made a choice faster than her brain.

With a click, the door opened.

Emmett’s gloomy face appeared in Alyssa's line of sight.

He fixed his gaze on Alyssa. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her calmly.

Alyssa swallowed her saliva. She tried her best to sound as natural as possible, "Why are you here… It is such a coincidence…"

"Alyssa." Emmett called her name in a deep voice. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Alyssa felt her scalp tighten. She quickly straightened her back and stood up straight. She looked like she was ready for battle.

Emmett laughed out of extreme anger. "Do you know you are guilty now?"

Alyssa lowered her head and whispered, "I’ve always been guilty."

"Then why did you come to the banquet with that man?" Right now, Emmett did not even want to mention Henry's name in front of Alyssa.

Alyssa had never attended a banquet with him, yet Henry actually asked her first.

This was not possible, even in his dreams!

"I have a reason." Alyssa tried to defend herself.

"What reason? Are you grateful that he helped you escape from the country?" Emmett sneered. "I was already generous enough that I didn't destroy the Grants. Does he still want you to return his favor?"

Alyssa pursed her lips and said slowly. "Don't destroy other people's companies so easily for such a matter…"

"You can accompany other men to the banquet. Why can't I destroy the Grant Group?" Emmett raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an unfriendly tone.

It was obvious that he was angry and jealous.

It was rare for Emmett to be jealous like this. Alyssa felt it was a little strange, and she could not help but want to laugh.

Emmett noticed her expression. He expressionlessly reached out and rubbed her head.

"My hair is messed up." Alyssa unhappily pushed his hand away.

Emmett was just focused on getting angry. Only now did he notice that Alyssa had specially done her hair today.

Alyssa saw that Emmett narrowed his eyes again and quickly pulled him out. "Let's go out first. It’s too strange to stay here all the time."

Emmett did not say much. He let her pull him out.

As soon as they went out, Alyssa saw that Henry was still there.

When Henry saw her come out, he called her, "Alyssa."

Alyssa smiled awkwardly.

Emmett directly ignored Henry's existence and looked at Alyssa. "I'll get someone to send you back."

Alyssa thought about the conversation she heard among the woman when she first entered the banquet hall. She did not answer Emmett immediately.

Emmett did not let her accompany Henry to the banquet, but he himself came out to flirt with women, causing a lot of attraction.

Besides, she had not met Emmett much during this period of time. It was not easy for her to meet him openly. So how could she leave just like that?

Seeing Alyssa not answer for a long time, Emmett knew that she did not want to go back.

Emmett lowered his head and touched her face. He said in a low voice, "Be good."

Alyssa was a little annoyed. "I'm already here. It would be a waste of time to go back like this. Let me stay to see what it is like here.”

Emmett frowned and did not say anything.

Alyssa looked at him and turned around. She walked away from him and walked towards the banquet

hall.

Just now, Henry saw clearly how Emmett and Alyssa had interacted. At this moment, he was sizing up Emmett with an unknown expression.

Previously, there was news from the media that Emmett and Alyssa had divorced.

He had seen Emmett's furious look after Alyssa ran away. So he did not believe that the two of them had divorced.

From what he saw now, it seemed that his guess was right.

While Henry was sizing up Emmett, Emmett also turned back to look at him.

Emmett stared at him for a few seconds and said, "I think you are a smart person."

Henry's eyes flashed. "I don't know."

"Mr. Grant should know very well what he should say, what he shouldn't say, what he should touch, and what he shouldn't touch."

Emmett's eyes didn't leave Henry's body when he spoke, so naturally, he didn't miss the slight change in Henry's expression.

He gave a contemptuous laugh, then turned around and left.

A man like Henry wanted to steal his woman?

When Alyssa returned to the banquet hall, she saw Frank.

Frank came with Emmett. Since Emmett was not around, naturally there were many people who tried to curry favor with Frank.

Frank was Emmett's right-hand man.

A woman happened to be asking Frank, "Does Mr. Lawrence have a new girlfriend recently?"

The woman was very direct. This was also a question that others wanted to know.

Frank was not an ordinary subordinate. He was a shrewd guy who had been tempered by Emmett. "This is Mr. Lawrence’s private matter. I am not very clear about it."

After Frank finished speaking, he inadvertently raised his head and saw Alyssa.

Alyssa had just taken a glass of champagne from the waiter. When she saw Frank look over, she nodded at him.

Frank was stunned for a moment. He did not expect to see Alyssa here.

No wonder Mr. Lawrence did not come back after going to the bathroom for so long. It was because Mrs. Lawrence was also here.

A woman noticed Frank's gaze and naturally saw Alyssa.

The woman asked the person beside her. "Who is that woman?"

She felt that Alyssa looked a little familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen her before.

"Mr. Lawrence's ex-wife, Alyssa." The person next to her said, "But I heard that she used to be very ugly. I guess she went for plastic surgery."
