CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 60

Alyssa actually remembered to cook for “Justin”. After all, that was what she had promised him when he lent her his lawyer. Although he is a bastard, a promise is still a promise.

But as soon as they entered the shopping mall, she had already lost track of time. Her colleagues quickly pulled her from store to store, pushing a bunch of fabric to her face as they discussed intently the day they just had.

Seeing as the sky had turned dark, she quickly found an excuse to stop, "I'm so tired. Why don't we find a place to rest?"

"Sure! I saw a drink shack by the end of the mall." All of them headed up that direction.

Seeing as they were finally distracted, she used this time to take out her phone, only to see that she had two missed calls from “Justin”.

“Justin” really wasn't the type to sit patiently and wait for her to reply. She squeezed her eyes shut, not expecting him to call her twice. At this point, she couldn't even imagine how angry he must've been after the second call.

She stood up, looking as if she had just been electrocuted. "I have something else I need to attend to, so I need to go back first. Thank you for today. I'll make sure to treat you guys for dinner." She quickly said, bowing her head.

Once she had left the mall, she walked towards the bus stop while she gave him a call.

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

"Where are you?"

His voice was already low. So when he was in a bad mood, others would feel that there was a bit of sullen in his voice.

She could feel a slight chill running down her neck.

Rubbing her skin, she managed to respond to him, "I'm still outside, but I'll be back soon. If you're already hungry, then you can find something to eat first."

She had tried to keep her voice firm, but uncertainty soon latched on to her words. She glanced around, watching as the cars zoomed across the highway.

"I asked where you are." He repeated.

The impatience in his voice couldn't be concealed any longer.

"I'm in City Center." She turned around to take a look and immediately relayed to him her location.

Ever since “Justin” had thrown away the black card in front of her, she no longer dared to provoke the man over such a trivial matter.

‘He asks all these questions as if he's my husband.’ Alyssa thought incredulously, shaking her head, but she didn't say another word after that.

She turned around and went back to the entrance of the mall, waiting for him to show up.

Within a few minutes, his sleek black Bentley appeared in her view.

Just as she was about to go, she heard someone call her from behind, "Alyssa, you haven't left yet?"

Alyssa stiffly turned her head to see that her female colleagues who had shopped with her standing behind her. They were probably heading to the bus stop from the direction they were going in. Just her luck! Seeing as she had no other choice, she nodded in greeting.

"Yes, I'm still here…"

She was in the middle of saying something when “Justin” honked the car.

"Get in the car." Emmett had already lowered his car window just as he was parking his Bentley near the sidewalk. If looks could kill, they would've all been ten feet under. She shivered under her coat, not because of the cool breeze, but because of the man sitting in the driver's seat.

Her colleagues appeared surprised at the same time.

'Great, I'm done for.' Alyssa had a premonition.

"Although I'm younger than you, I'm still your sister-in-law." Alyssa turned her to look at “Justin” and said with a fake smile on her face.

Emmett turned his head slightly to see her colleagues standing behind her. Despite this, he still didn't change his tone of voice as he raised his eyebrows. "Get in the car."

Knowing that he was getting impatient, she immediately turned to the group behind her. After all, if the man was this mad, he might end up causing trouble for them, which in turn might dig her an even larger hole. "He's my husband's cousin. He picked me up along the way, so I'll be leaving first."

Not daring to say any longer, she opened the door and got in the car.

As “Justin” started the engine, she couldn't help but gaze at the rearview mirror. She could still see her female colleagues exchanging a few looks, fiercely discussing what had happened a few seconds ago.

Alyssa sighed and turned to look at “Justin”. "Why did you come back so quickly? Do you work close by?"

He simply ignored her.

If he didn't want to talk to her, then fine. It's not like she was dying to talk to him either. Alyssa turned her head and looked out of the window.

…

As soon as they got home, she went into the kitchen to cook, not bothering to look in his direction. She wrapped the apron around her waist and began to grab all the pots and pans hidden behind the cabinets.

These past few days, she had already understood his preferences. He was the type of person who liked spicy and flavorful meals. Every dish must have a tinge of chili in them, and he absolutely hated anything bland or light.

Once the two of them finished their meals, they returned to their respective rooms.

Alyssa took a bath before lying on her bed. She quickly dialed Hazel's number and placed her on video call.

"Hey!" Hazel answered almost immediately. While Alyssa was dressed in her pajamas, Hazel was dressed in ancient garments. She was standing on top of what seemed to be a pavilion, with the harsh winds serving as her backdrop.

"You're still filming?" Alyssa asked her.

"Yes, I am shooting some night scenes." Glancing around, Hazel ran to one of the empty corners before dropping her voice to a whisper, "Guess who I'm filming with today?"

"Who?" A thought suddenly occurred to her. "Is it Dylan? Didn't he go abroad to study?"

"It's him!" Hazel face widened into a smile. "The director seems to know him, so he asked him to show up as a guest actor in our shoot. I'm going to act with the King of Movies! Shit! Do you know how nervous I am? My entire body is practically shaking? What should I do?"

Alyssa laughed and said faintly. "I'm not there, and I'm already nervous for you."

Dylan was the youngest actor who had won the Oscars. She remembered following all of his dramas, being his fan for eight years. If she were to act with him like Hazel, she wouldn't know what she'd do!

"Hazel, shooting starts in five!" On the other end of the phone came a sudden voice.

"I'll be right there!" Hazel then turned back to her phone. "I'll be going first. Let's see if I can get you his autograph! I might not be able to get a nude photo of him, but I'll try my best."

Before Alyssa could object, she shot her a wink and hung off.

"You better not do such a thing," Alyssa thought. She was not as obscene as Hazel!
