Chapter 449 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.
