The driver stuck his head out of the window and shouted in a dialect to Clara, "Miss, you haven't paid
yet! There is also a fine!"
"Got it!" Clara turned around impatiently and took a few pink bills from her bag and threw them into the
car.
The driver said discontentedly, "Miss, as long as I can catch up to that car, you will give me a hundred
thousand yuan!"
Clara sneered. "Why don't you go and snatch it?"
"You don't count your words, do you?" The driver opened the door and got out of the car. He had a tall
and fierce face and looked a little scary.
There were not many people here. No matter how arrogant Clara was, she was still a little scared.
In the end, she did not give the driver a hundred thousand. She just gave the driver all the cash she
had.
Although she felt a little aggrieved in her heart, when she thought that she would soon be able to hook
up with the young master of the Lawrence Family, she could not help but feel excited.
When she returned home, Jessie walked out from inside.
"Young Madame is back." Jessie smiled and squinted her eyes. She looked gentle and loving.
Alyssa liked Jessie very much. She also smiled and said, "But I have to go on a business trip tomorrow.
I will go and pack my things first.”
"Hurry up and go. When Young Master comes back, we can have dinner."
"Okay."
Alyssa went back to her room and pulled out her suitcase. Only then did she remember that she did not
know how long she would be going on this business trip.
She estimated that it would only be a week.
Thinking like this, Alyssa got up and went to the cloakroom to get her clothes.
It was only a week and she only needed to bring an extra coat. She just needed to bring another set of
clothes inside.
She carried the clothes and placed them on the bed. Just as she was bending over to fold the clothes,
she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Alyssa turned around and saw Emmett standing tall and straight at the door.
She smiled at him. "You're back."
Emmett walked towards her and pulled her hand to his clothes, indicating for her to help him untie his
tie.
Emmett seemed not to be afraid of the cold. In the winter, he was only wearing a shirt and suit.
Occasionally, he would put on an extra coat. Under normal circumstances, he would not put on any
clothes.
Alyssa felt a little unbalanced in her heart. He could dress so elegantly, but she had to wrap him up like
a dumpling!
She deliberately pulled Emmett's tie tighter and tightened it around his neck.
Although Emmett still looked expressionless, she could clearly feel that he was not angry.
He patted Alyssa's hand that was pulling his tie and said without any deterrence, "Don't make a scene."
Alyssa curled her lips and obediently untied his tie.
Emmett held the back of her head with one hand and lowered his head to leave a kiss on the corner of
her lips. His deliberately low and deep voice was somewhat mesmerizing, "This is the reward."
Alyssa snorted, expressing her disdain for his "reward.”
Emmett seemed to be a little angry. He kissed her heavily and asked, "I heard you are going on a
business trip?"
This man's news was really fast. She only mentioned it to Jessie and he already knew when he came
back.
Alyssa nodded. She fiddled with the buttons on his suit and said, "Yes. Grandfather personally called
me and asked me to accompany him on a business trip. It may be a temporary decision. I will leave
tomorrow."
Hearing her words, Emmett did not immediately say anything. His eyes narrowed and his eyes were
dark. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What are you thinking?" Alyssa poked Emmett's chest with a finger.
Emmett held her finger and said in a deep voice, “Don't worry. No matter how weak your grandfather is,
he's still smarter than Jason and the others."
Smart people would not do stupid things.
No matter what Sawyer's purpose of asking Alyssa to accompany him on a business trip was, it did not
matter. But he would definitely let Alyssa return unharmed.
The other people of Moore family still thought that Emmett was "Justin," but Sawyer knew that he was
Emmett.
The reason why he accompanied Alyssa back to the Moore family to eat was to tell Sawyer that Alyssa
was a member of the Lawrence family and Emmett Lawrence's wife. The Moore family should not try to
do anything stupid to challenge the Lawrence family's authority.
Alyssa glared at him. "You know again!"
Emmett touched her head and turned his eyes to the clothes she had put on the bed to tidy up.
Emmett picked up the coat on the bed and looked down at her. "So thin?"
Alyssa quietly pulled his suit jacket and mimicked his tone. "So thin?"
Emmett choked for a rare moment.
"I'm a man. I'm not afraid of the cold." Emmett took his coat into the closet and found a down jacket.
Ah, another down jacket.
Alyssa pulled the corner of her mouth and was a little speechless.
"I'm not afraid of the cold either!" Alyssa could not help refuting him. She was also a young lady in her
early twenties, okay?
She was wearing a coat and skirt, how beautiful!
But Emmett directly ignored her words.
He folded the down jacket and stuffed it into her suitcase. Then he folded the rest of her things and put
them in one by one.
His movements were very skilled. It seemed like he often did these things.
Alyssa was a little puzzled. "You actually know how to fold clothes and pack luggage!"
Emmett was the young master of Lawrence family, and he actually knew how to do this kind of thing.
When Skylar was at home, when folding clothes and packing, it was either maids or Aurora who helped
her do it.
"I always pack my own things when I go on business trips." Emmett said and went to the bathroom to
help her get her toiletries.
Alyssa was flattered and followed him. "I can do this myself."
Emmett looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. He took half a step back and let Alyssa clean
up by herself.
Only then did Alyssa feel that she knew too little about Emmett.
She only thought that he was a domineering young master. She did not expect that he would still pack
his luggage. His clothes were even more neatly folded than hers.
The atmosphere was harmonious. Alyssa felt that it was a good time to change the topic.
She asked casually, "Who taught you?"
Emmett seemed to be silent for a moment before he said, "My mother."
Alyssa's hands stopped moving. She felt that she had accidentally asked a question that she should
not have asked. There was an apologetic look on her face. For a moment, she was silent and did not
know what to say.
"What kind of expression is this?" Emmett reached out and pinched her face. His voice was rarely calm
and peaceful. "No one has dared to mention my mother in front of me all these years, but sometimes I
want to hear people talk about her. Too much time has passed, and she will be forgotten. Those who
have harmed her can live peacefully. This is not fair."
Alyssa looked at Emmett like this, and her heart ached. She wanted to hug him.
She did the same.
Emmett bent over and buried his face in her shoulder. He took a deep breath and tightened his arms.
He said slowly, "You can refuse Sawyer's request. You can stay away from work."
