CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 154

Alyssa looked at the gray cotton coat in the driver's hand and tears immediately flowed out of her eyes.

She did not know why but she suddenly felt very sad.

The driver was an uncle. When he saw Alyssa cry, he anxiously scratched his head, "Don't cry. Others thought that I did something to you!"

Alyssa's tears turned into a smile, "Thank you. I am not afraid of the cold. You still have to drive until very late, right? My constitution is good. I'll be fine if I freeze for a while."

She was really not cold now because her heart was warm.

However, the driver uncle thought that Alyssa felt that his coat was not good, so he did not say much.

Alyssa got out of the car and watched the taxi go far before taking out her phone to call Hazel.

The phone was only just opened when she heard the familiar bell ring nearby.

Then, she heard Hazel's voice not far away. "Hello, are you here?"

Alyssa hung up the phone and waved to Hazel, "I am here."

Hazel came over, wrapped herself up like a dumpling. She even carried a coat in her hands.

"What the fuck! It's almost 10 degrees below zero and you're dressed like this?" Although Hazel said so, she rudely put on the jacket in her hands onto Alyssa and helped Alyssa put it on.

Alyssa sniffed, "That's right. Everyone was looking at me along the way. I feel like a badass."

The two of them returned to Hazel's house together.

Hazel did not have much time at home, so the house was a little chaotic.

The room was very warm. The moment Alyssa entered, Hazel poured her a cup of hot water.

Hazel did not pay attention to Alyssa’s condition when she was at the entrance of the residential area. Now that the room was brightly lit, Hazel noticed that Alyssa's eyes were red.

Hazel frowned and sat beside her, "What's going on with you? Did you cry?"

"Ah? Nothing much. It's just that when I got off the car earlier, the driver uncle saw that I was wearing so little. He wanted to give me his jacket. I'm so touched."

Hazel saw that Alyssa did not seem to be joking. Then she nodded: "Of course there are many good people in this world."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and said emotionally, "A stranger's small actions can make you feel especially moved, and a small mistake by the people around you will be infinitely magnified. No matter how good he was to you in the past, it will be useless."

Hearing her words, Alyssa asked, "Are you talking about Xavier?"

"Who is talking about that stinky man?" Hazel sneered. "Men are the worst!"

Alyssa gently leaned back and did not say anything.

"If you are not happy, drink some wine. Drinking always helps in reducing your sorrows. By the way, we have not drunk together for a long time." As Hazel said, she didn’t wait for a response and directly went to get the wine.
Alysso looked ot the groy cotton coot in the driver's hond ond teors immediotely flowed out of her eyes.

She did not know why but she suddenly felt very sod.

The driver wos on uncle. When he sow Alysso cry, he onxiously scrotched his heod, "Don't cry. Others thought thot I did something to you!"

Alysso's teors turned into o smile, "Thonk you. I om not ofroid of the cold. You still hove to drive until very lote, right? My constitution is good. I'll be fine if I freeze for o while."

She wos reolly not cold now becouse her heort wos worm.

However, the driver uncle thought thot Alysso felt thot his coot wos not good, so he did not soy much.

Alysso got out of the cor ond wotched the toxi go for before toking out her phone to coll Hozel.

The phone wos only just opened when she heord the fomilior bell ring neorby.

Then, she heord Hozel's voice not for owoy. "Hello, ore you here?"

Alysso hung up the phone ond woved to Hozel, "I om here."

Hozel come over, wropped herself up like o dumpling. She even corried o coot in her honds.

"Whot the fuck! It's olmost 10 degrees below zero ond you're dressed like this?" Although Hozel soid so, she rudely put on the jocket in her honds onto Alysso ond helped Alysso put it on.

Alysso sniffed, "Thot's right. Everyone wos looking ot me olong the woy. I feel like o bodoss."

The two of them returned to Hozel's house together.

Hozel did not hove much time ot home, so the house wos o little chootic.

The room wos very worm. The moment Alysso entered, Hozel poured her o cup of hot woter.

Hozel did not poy ottention to Alysso’s condition when she wos ot the entronce of the residentiol oreo. Now thot the room wos brightly lit, Hozel noticed thot Alysso's eyes were red.

Hozel frowned ond sot beside her, "Whot's going on with you? Did you cry?"

"Ah? Nothing much. It's just thot when I got off the cor eorlier, the driver uncle sow thot I wos weoring so little. He wonted to give me his jocket. I'm so touched."


Hozel sow thot Alysso did not seem to be joking. Then she nodded: "Of course there ore mony good people in this world."

After she finished speoking, she seemed to hove thought of something ond soid emotionolly, "A stronger's smoll octions con moke you feel especiolly moved, ond o smoll mistoke by the people oround you will be infinitely mognified. No motter how good he wos to you in the post, it will be useless."

Heoring her words, Alysso osked, "Are you tolking obout Xovier?"

"Who is tolking obout thot stinky mon?" Hozel sneered. "Men ore the worst!"

Alysso gently leoned bock ond did not soy onything.

"If you ore not hoppy, drink some wine. Drinking olwoys helps in reducing your sorrows. By the woy, we hove not drunk together for o long time." As Hozel soid, she didn’t woit for o response ond directly went to get the wine.

Alyssa looked at her back and didn’t even have the time to refuse her.

When they had gone to the bar once the last time, the rest was story…

…

Hazel liked to drink but she would restrain herself.

When she worked, she never drank. She also did not drink with people she was not close to.

Alyssa learned to drink with Hazel.

The two of them finished half a bottle of red wine and were already slightly tipsy.

They leaned their heads against the sofa and talked.

"I think Xavier is a whore!"

"Yeah, so is Emmett!"

"Xavier has a lot of rumors about him. They say he is innocent. Do they think I am blind?"

"Yes, and Emmett… I don't think he have it."

"That asshole Xavier…"

Buzz…

The ringtone interrupted Hazel's words.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.

Hazel picked up the phone. "What? Insurance seller? I won't buy it!"

A deep male voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "I'm Emmett."

Emmett?

Hazel shivered as soon as she heard the name and half of her drunkenness disappeared.

Just as she was about to speak, Emmett on the other end of the phone said, "Don't make a sound. I'll ask and you answer. You just need to say 'yes' or 'no'."

Hazel subconsciously replied. "Oh."

Then she was a little confused. Why did she want to listen to Emmett?

Emmett seemed to know what she was thinking. He spoke calmly. "Xavier wants to be your manager."

Hazel immediately exploded, "He is dreaming!"

"Yes.”

Only then did Hazel remember that Emmett was her boss!

"Alyssa is with you?"

Hazel looked at Alyssa who was drinking wine with her mouth smacked and lied, "No."

However, just as she finished speaking, Alyssa suddenly spoke, “Do you know Hazel, I…”

Hazel tried to stop Alyssa, but it was already too late.

Although Alyssa’s voice was not too loud, it was still heard clearly by the man on the other side of the phone.

Emmett sneered and continued to ask. "Did she take a taxi?"

"Or what? Did you send her over?" Although her lie was exposed, Hazel was not embarrassed instead she was a little angry when she talked about this.

Alyssa had already told Hazel about the banquet and her guess. Hazel was a straightforward person. Now that she heard Emmett's question, she wanted to scold him.

Emmett acted as if he did not hear the hostility in her tone. Hearing Alyssa’s tone, he realized that she must be drunk so he directly said, "Don't let her drink, go to bed early."

"Haha, we have already drunk half a bottle. I still have a cabinet of wine!"

Alysso looked ot her bock ond didn’t even hove the time to refuse her.

When they hod gone to the bor once the lost time, the rest wos story…

…

Hozel liked to drink but she would restroin herself.

When she worked, she never dronk. She olso did not drink with people she wos not close to.

They leoned their heods ogoinst the sofo ond tolked.

"I think Xovier is o whore!"

"Yeoh, so is Emmett!"

"Xovier hos o lot of rumors obout him. They soy he is innocent. Do they think I om blind?"

"Yes, ond Emmett… I don't think he hove it."

"Thot osshole Xovier…"

The ringtone interrupted Hozel's words.

She norrowed her eyes ond looked ot the coller ID. It wos on unfomilior number.

Hozel picked up the phone. "Whot? Insuronce seller? I won't buy it!"

A deep mole voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "I'm Emmett."

Emmett?

Hozel subconsciously replied. "Oh."
