CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 184

Sawyer's words seemed to be showing his sincerity to Emmett, but it didn't make Emmett's facial expression turn better. His facial expression became even uglier.

Emmett stood up. His voice was as cold as his expression. "Alyssa will not come to work in the Moore Group tomorrow."

His tone was very rude. He had no intention of negotiating. It was as if he was informing Sawyer.

Sawyer didn't say anything.

What else could he say?

Emmett wasn't someone he could defeat. He thought that after returning to the country, George would be the most difficult person to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be Emmett.

Emmett opened the door and saw Alyssa standing at the door.

Alyssa had been listening at the door for a while, but she did not hear what Emmett and the others were talking about.

"I..." She wanted to explain that she did not come back to eavesdrop, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Emmett suddenly bent down and hugged her.

His strength was a little strong, and his arm made her waist hurt a little, but she could still endure it.

Alyssa took a breath and felt that Emmett's aura was not right. She asked him in a low voice, "What's

wrong with you?"

Emmett hugged her for a few seconds, then let go of her and stood up straight. He held her hand and walked forward. "Go and collect your things. You don't have to come tomorrow."

Alyssa was a little curious about what Emmett and Sawyer had said, but Emmett's expression and the low pressure on his body indicated that it was not the time to ask more.

Alyssa quickly put away her things. She held the cardboard box and said to Emmett, "It's done."

Emmett lowered his eyes and took the box from her hand without saying a word. He held it with one hand and used the other hand to hold Alyssa's hand.

Alyssa felt sweet in her heart. Even if he was in a bad mood, he was still very considerate and took the initiative to help her carry the box.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the company at this time. Those who were still working overtime were all the higher-ups and had their own independent offices.

However, there was a saying in the world: You always meet people you hate.

The two of them walked to the elevator entrance and waited for the elevator to come up.

Alyssa thought of Emmett's special elevator in Nine Clouds Media. She could not help but turn her head and ask him curiously, "Have you ever waited for the elevator?"

Emmett only glanced at her and gave her a "what do you think?" look.

She felt...

She felt that Emmett was definitely someone who had never even waited for an elevator before.

The elevator finally came up.

Ding -

The elevator door opened and Alyssa was about to walk inside when she looked up and saw that the person who walked out of the elevator was none other than Skylar.

The reason she returned to the Moore Group was because she was worried that Skylar and Emmett would bump into each other.

In the end, Skylar really saw Emmett!

Alyssa subconsciously blocked in front of Emmett and even pushed Emmett back a little.

Emmett could only take two steps back and said indifferently, "What's wrong?"

When Skylar saw Alyssa, her eyes were already full of anger. But when she saw Emmett standing behind Alyssa, her entire aura changed.

Her voice was so shy that it gave people goosebumps.

"Young Master Lawrence, we meet again." Skylar pulled her coat as she spoke.

She liked to wear a low-cut dress under her coat. She pulled her coat away and the soft cleavage from the V-collar was revealed. It looked like it was tempting.

Just then, the elevator on the other side also came up.

But Emmett did not even look at Skylar. He directly pulled Alyssa into the elevator on the other side.

Skylar's expression froze. She was very unwilling and followed them into the elevator on the other side.

She deliberately moved to Emmett's side and said in a coy voice, "Young Master Lawrence, I have claustrophobia. Can you… Can you help me?"

"Help me…" She said these words very slowly. Her tone was ambiguous and lingering, as if she was about to lose her breath.

"Ohh… You need help? I'll help you." Alyssa walked over and pushed Skylar away. She supported Skylar's arm with great force. "I didn't know you had claustrophobia before!"

Skylar was so angry that her face was about to change. She gritted her teeth and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Get out of the way!"

"You seduced my man and you want me to get out of the way. Do you think I'm a fool?" Alyssa did not want to be outdone and glared back.

"Yours?" Skylar sneered, "Don't forget, I am the one who is engaged to Emmett!"

"But his wife is me!" Alyssa felt that Skylar had a problem with her brain.

She was Emmett's legal wife now. When Emmett was still "Justin," he had shown that he was not interested in Skylar. But Skylar seemed to have automatically blocked these messages. She still did not give up!

Skylar had a smug look on her face. "Is that so? Where is your marriage certificate? Show them to me?"

At this place, Alyssa could definitely not show the marriage certificates to Skylar.

Speaking of which, she herself did not seem to have seen the marriage certificate between her and Emmett

"If you can't take it out, then scram to the side!" After Skylar finished speaking, she took advantage of Alyssa not paying attention and ruthlessly stepped on Alyssa's foot.

Alyssa did not notice for a moment and was forcefully stepped on by Skylar's high heels just like that.

Skylar's high heels were very thin and the area of impact was very small. She used so much strength that even if Alyssa wore snow boots, she would still feel pain. She sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although Emmett did not make a sound, he had been paying attention to Alyssa's movements.

Actually, when Skylar approached him, he could just push her away.

However, when he saw Alyssa protecting him, his mood became especially good. So Emmett did nothing and let Alyssa do whatever she wanted.

Now that Skylar used a dirty trick, his expression turned cold.

Alyssa's foot hurt but she did not move away. She raised her foot and wanted to kick Skylar to get revenge. Emmett suddenly stuffed the box into her arms.

She looked at Emmett with a blank face.

Emmett moved his long finger and pressed a few keys on the elevator and then pulled Alyssa out.

The elevator door closed behind them.

Alyssa did not know what was going on. She turned around and looked at the elevator door in confusion.

The next second, Skylar's scream came from inside. "Ah -"

Then there were a few rumbling sounds…

"The elevator… fell down?" Alyssa turned her head and asked Emmett uncertainly.

The Moore Group had an underground parking lot. Below the parking lot were the first and second floors. So the elevator would stop at the 2nd basement.

Emmett replied indifferently, "Yes."

Alyssa remembered that when they came out, Emmett pressed a few buttons on the elevator keys.

Could it be that those keys made the elevator fall? Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

There was actually such a thing?

Alyssa felt her scalp go numb for a moment.

She would rather offend a villain than Emmett.

When the two of them returned to the car, Emmett said to Alyssa, "Take off your shoes."

Alyssa was stunned for a moment. She realized that Emmett must have seen Skylar stepping on her.

"I'm fine."

Emmett ignored her words and reached out his arm to grab her ankle. He lifted her legs onto the chair and helped her take off her shoes.
