Chapter 450 The Fish Took the Bait

“Really? I can help you with this. Do you want to talk on the phone?” Alex asked.

“I’m free. I’ll get you a coffee while we talk about it.” Hayley took the initiative to ask Alex out.

“Alright. Where are you? I’ll be right over!” Alex agreed without a second thought.

After Hayley sent her location to Alex, her eyes flashed with a smug expression. See that? Erica’s man bites the bait easily. All thanks to my current face.

Then, Hayley spun around and walked into the shopping mall behind her. She found a cosmetics store and sat in front of the mirror, putting makeup on with a trial set. She used to learn how to do makeup, so it was easy to imitate a makeup look that was Anastasia-like.

After Hayley finished putting on the makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes resembled that of a predator, and Alex would be her prey tonight.

In the meantime, Erica called Alex when she was on the way home. She wanted to spend the night at his house tonight, but he declined, saying that he was working overtime and would not be home until late.

Hearing that, Erica could only believe him. What she did not know was that Alex was on his way to meet Hayley.

Half an hour later, Hayley, who had been waiting in the cafe for a while, saw Alex strolling in through the door. He was roughly 1.8 meters tall and dressed in a black down jacket. Although he is not as gorgeous as Elliot, he is nevertheless regarded as good-looking.

Alex’s heartbeat quickened as he gazed at Hayley in the faint light. Her face alluded to Anastasia’s beauty. It wasn’t as bright and moving as Anastasia’s, but it was somewhat alluring.

For him, Hayley’s face was enough to make his heart flutter. However, he was always looking for Anastasia’s traits in the woman currently before him.

“Miss Seymour, it’s nice to see you again.” Since Alex sat down in the chair, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

As expected, Hayley knew that he had a crush on her, so she propped her chin and inquired, “Won’t Erica be jealous if I meet you, Mr. Hunter?”

“Of course not.” Alex shook his head. “What were the questions that you wanted to ask me?” he continued.

“There’s no rush. The night is still very long, and I’d like you to accompany me for a bit. Is that all right?” she queried.

“No problem!” He didn’t mind spending time with Hayley.

After a long chat, Alex felt more pity for Hayley as he observed her delicate appearance. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Finally, it was getting late. At 10.30 PM, Hayley got up and claimed she was leaving, so Alex naturally decided to send her home.

As soon as they stepped out, the cold breeze blew on Hayley’s face. Immediately, she yawned as her body shivered, and she leaned against Alex’s body. In an instant, he removed his jacket and draped it over her body, then reached out his arms. Almost automatically, Hayley fell into his embrace.

“Mr. Hunter, you are such a gentleman,” she praised him.

Alex’s heart had been moved long before, without the need for her praise. He looked at the Anastasia- like face in his arms, picturing how lovely it would be if the woman in his arms was truly Anastasia.

“Let’s get in the car.” He then led Hayley to his car.

With the heater on in the car, Hayley took the opportunity to take off her jacket, revealing the sensual and low-cut lace dress underneath.

“Mr. Hunter, can I stay at your place for the night? I don’t want to go home by myself. I’m afraid of being alone,” Hayley asked as she looked at Alex with watery eyes, directly conveying her intentions.

His eyes lit up in surprise as he responded, “Okay. As long as you don’t mind my bed, I’ll take you home.”

The two hit it off. At Alex’s house, Hayley took the initiative and he did not refuse her. He muted his phone, which was on the couch, and the screen displayed Erica’s incoming call. Unfortunately, the phone’s owner was enjoying an intimate time with another woman.

On the other hand, Erica had been waiting at home for Alex to finish his work, but she couldn’t get through to him, which made her a little distressed.

…

It was early in the morning and the weather was very pleasant. For the atelier, the annual celebration would be their most relaxing night of the year.

They had invited a few well-known singers and artists, as well as arranged a lottery session, all in order to make the event a grand one.
