CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 435

Alyssa sat down on the sofa and watched Angela walk in and out happily. Only then did she remember that she had not seen Emmett for a few days.

Alyssa thought with some disappointment that the situation was still different from before.

In the past, when she and Emmett were not together, Emmett would get angry with her if she did not take the initiative to contact him.

But now, even if she was too busy in work and hadn’t contact him for a few days, he would not take the initiative to call her.

Although she was very disappointed, she still took out her phone and dialed Emmett's number.

The call was connected, but no one answered.

Alyssa made two calls in a row, but no one answered.

She was a little nervous. Could it be that Emmett has blacklisted her?

In the building of Lawrence Group.

Emmett sat in the first seat in the meeting room, and there were a group of senior executives sitting around the desk.

Emmett looked at the documents in his hand. His tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.

The people below dared not make a sound.

Frank stood behind him and quietly observed the situation.

At this time, Emmett's phone suddenly rang.

The crisp ringtone was especially abrupt in the quiet meeting room.

The eyes of the higher ups below all gathered on Emmett's cell phone.

Frank stood behind him. He lowered his eyes and saw the caller ID on the phone clearly.

"A thick-skinned woman."

Frank only thought for a second before he knew that this was the name Emmett given to Alyssa.

Thick skinned?

Frank did not know who was more thick-skinned.

Emmett did not answer the phone immediately. He just kept staring at the phone that kept ringing.

In the past, whenever Emmett saw Alyssa calling, he would answer the phone immediately.

However, he had become another person now.

Until the phone was automatically hung up, Emmett did not answer.

Frank did not understand what Emmett meant.

If Emmett did not have any feelings for Alyssa, he would not give Alyssa a chance to call him.

But if he had feelings for Alyssa, why did he not answer the phone?

Could it be that he was playing the game of hard-to-get?

Frank was shocked by this thought.

In the past, Emmett did not have so many schemes for Alyssa. If he liked Alyssa, he would have her domineeringly. If he did not like Alyssa, he would push her far away.

Emmett's memory was deteriorating, but his EQ was improving?

The phone quieted down and the screen turned dark. Emmett withdrew his gaze and looked back at the document in front of him again.

But soon, his phone rang again.

Alyssa called again?

He wanted to see how many times that thick-skinned woman could make the call.

However, before he could figure out how many times Alyssa could insist on making calls, he found that

he could not help but want to take her call.

These few days, Alyssa did not take the initiative to look for him and did not contact him.

This was the way a woman who wanted to remarry him?

If she really wanted to remarry him, shouldn't she seize every opportunity to please him?

But Alyssa only went to his house to make a bowl of noodles for him to eat.

The next day, it was he who took the initiative to look for her and she ignored him after saying some baffling words.

How could there be such a woman!

Thinking of this, Emmett could not help but sneer.

Those who were sitting close to Emmett felt their hair stand on end when they heard his sneer.

Recently, the president's temper was getting weirder and weirder. They were all afraid of the meeting.

Even if it was a meeting, they did not dare to say anything.

Emmett stared at his phone for a while and then decided to pick up the phone.

Forget it. Seeing that Alyssa had already taken the initiative to call him, he would pick up her phone.

However, before he could reach out his hand, the phone suddenly stopped ringing.

Alyssa hung up the phone.

Frank, who was standing behind Emmett and seeing Emmett's actions, secretly cried out in his heart, "This is bad!”

As expected, Emmett clenched his fist in the mid-air. Then, he withdrew his hand and stood up slowly. He picked up the business plan in front of him and threw it out. He said coldly, "Do you have the face to show me something like this? Take it back and make another one."

After he finished speaking, he turned around angrily and left.

Frank quickly picked up Emmett's phone and followed him.

After entering the CEO's office, Emmett picked up the water on his desk and finished it off in one breath. He pulled his tie off, and walked back and forth in front of the desk.

He looked angry, but also anxious.

Frank stood by the side. When Emmett stopped, Frank walked up and handed the phone to him. "Young Master, your phone."

Emmett stared at the phone for a few seconds and said coldly, "Throw it away."

Frank did not know what to say.

However, since Emmett had already given the order, he had no choice but to throw the phone into the trash can beside the desk.

Frank finished throwing his phone and looked at Emmett. "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."

Emmett waved his hand and signaled him to go out.

After Frank went out, Emmett took off his tie and sat behind the desk.

As soon as he sat down, the phone in the trash can rang again.

Alyssa called again?

Emmett frowned and thought for a moment. Then he bent down and picked up the phone from the trash can.

The name on the screen was not "thick-skinned woman.”

Emmett picked up the phone with a dark face. "Xavier, you'd better look for me if you have something urgent. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he just sneered.

He did not finish his sentence halfway. It sounded even more frightening.

Xavier did not know where he had provoked Emmett

Emmett's emotions were fickle. Last time, Emmett had promised him with great difficulty that he could go to his house to eat and drink. In the blink of an eye, Emmett was angry at him again.

But soon, Xavier let go of it.

Xavier went straight to the point. "Alyssa has just moved. She said she wants to treat everyone to dinner. Are you going?"

Alyssa had just called him and said that Emmett did not answer her phone. So she asked him to call Emmett. Xavier did not expect Emmett to actually pick up his phone.

However, little did he knew, Xavier was seeking his own death right now.

Alyssa? How could he call Alyssa in such an intimate tone!

Emmett coldly asked, "Are you very close to Alyssa?"

Xavier could sense that Emmett's tone was not right. He quickly refuted and said, "I am not close to her, but my wife is close to her."

Emmett raised his eyebrows. "When did you get married?"

Xavier felt that Emmett was hurting his heart.

He and Hazel did not seem to have any problems before, but they felt that their relationship had been hindered.

Xavier covered his chest and said. "Although I am not married, I can still call her 'wife'." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Emmett continued to hurt Xavier. "What's so good about getting married? Alyssa has been chasing after me recently and wants to remarry me."
