CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 162

After the meeting ended, Xavier followed Emmett to the president's office.

Xavier put the documents on the desk and turned to leave without saying a word.

"Xavier."

Emmett suddenly stopped him.

Xavier raised his head and looked at him with confusion. "Is there anything else?"

"Go back and rest." Emmett knew that Xavier had been working overtime for days in the company.

Xavier turned him down. He said, "It's okay. I like work."

Arthur just pushed the door open and came in. He heard Xavier's words clearly.

There was a crack on his usually serious face. Since when did Xavier like to work? Was he crazy?

"I'll go back to my office first." Xavier turned around and saw Arthur. He patted Arthur's shoulder as a greeting.

Arthur’s eyes followed Xavier’s back until he disappeared outside the door. He then asked Emmett, "What happened to him?"

"He's crazy."

Emmett lowered his eyes and looked at the documents on the desk. He casually spat out these two words. He did not know if he was talking about Xavier or himself.

He had been in a bad mood for the past few days.

Alyssa, that woman, was determined to be angry with him this time?

Arthur noticed that although Emmett's gaze was on the documents, he was clearly not looking at the documents. He was thinking about something else.

Arthur was a little speechless. He had only gone on a business trip and came back. Why did these two people become absent-minded?


He bent over and sat down on a chair in front of Emmett's desk. "Don't work overtime on weekends. Let's go out for a drink."

…

Alyssa sent Dylan and Justin away and received a call from Hazel.

"Do you remember the director I told you about before? That director wants to see you. I'm free today, so let's have some afternoon tea together."

Alyssa immediately replied, "Okay."

That director happened to be attending a dinner party in Golden Fountain Club, so the place to have afternoon tea was set at Golden Fountain.

Emmett had become a workaholic during this period of time and worked overtime every day. She should not meet him in Golden Fountain Club.

Thinking about this, Alyssa felt relieved.

Alyssa and Hazel met at the entrance of Golden Fountain Club.

Hazel seemed to have just participated in some program. Her face was still covered with delicate makeup and faintly revealed a trace of fatigue.

Alyssa asked with some concern, "Are you very tired recently?"

Hazel said as she walked inside, "It's okay. Although there are many activities to attend, I can still hold on."

Although the activities that she participated in recently were not particularly good, they were all the most suitable for her. She did not know if it was because she had shown her face to Emmett, and Emmett saw that she treated him well, so he arranged these things.

The two of them talked as they entered the room.

They waited for a long time, but they did not see the director Hazel mentioned.

"Why isn't he here yet? I'll call and ask." Hazel called him but the director did not answer.

The two of them waited for two hours.

Hazel could not sit still anymore and stood up all of a sudden. "I'll go and find out which room he is in. We have clearly agreed on a time. What is the matter with him not coming all the time?"

Alyssa actually felt that it didn't matter much. In the entertainment industry, directors who had a little bit of fame would put on airs.

But she couldn't persuade Hazel and was not too assured, so she could only follow along.

Golden Fountain Club was very big, but meals and entertainment were separated. So they only needed to find the director on the dining floor.

Once the area shrank, they would be able to find the director soon.

Not long after, they really found the director.

Coincidentally, someone came out from the private room. Hazel saw the director from the half-open door.

Alyssa followed her line of sight and saw a familiar person – Clara.

Last time at the bar, it was Clara who suffered in the end. She was detained by the police for 24 hours and was terminated by the Nine Clouds Media. It could be said that she had lost all her face.

Clara was dressed less and was leaning against the director to pour wine for him. She inadvertently looked up and saw Hazel and Alyssa.

The expression on her face froze slightly and soon revealed a complacent expression. She intimately moved to the director's side and said something. The director then raised his head and looked in their direction.

Then Clara got up and walked out.
