Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 149 Why Are You Suddenly Sad?

After the black car drove slowly into the villa, and the door slowly closed.

Jackie bit her lip and kicked the gate hard. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The iron gate made a sound, Jackie felt better. She took her phone out of her bag and called for a taxi.

After that, Jackie took one last of the villa, snorted, and turned to walk towards the intersection.

Turning around, Jackie saw a beautiful woman looking at herself.

It was a stranger.

Jackie looked away and walk towards the intersection.

Izabella watched Jackie's back until it was out of her sight.

At five o'clock she received a call from Edward, who told her that Starry was in a bad mood these days

and hoped she could go accompany Starry.

Edward didn't say why Starry was in a bad mood or how he got her number. He just repeatedly

stressed that Starry was in a bad mood.

Edward sounded serious. Izabella was really worried about Starry. So, she immediately came over.

But the traffic was heavy today. At two kilometers away from the villa, Izabella got off the taxi and took

a shared bike.

She parked the bike outside one of the nearest doors to Starry's villa and walked all the way in. The

moment she walked in, she saw Jackie speaking to Starry.

Izabella heard the question, "Did you marry Filip because he looks like Sebastian?"

Izabella couldn't help but think of last year, Starry called out the name "Sebastian" when she was

having a fever.

Izabella suddenly realized something. For a moment, she didn't know whether to sympathize with Filip

or think he deserved it.

Izabella heard the engine sound of a car. Turned around, she headed for the door of Starry's villa.

Starry didn't get off the car after parking it in the garage.

Jackie's words in the morning, and the question just now, dragged her back to the bleak days.

The sensor light in the garage darkened. Starry sank into the darkness. She could see no light.

The doorbell rang suddenly, which gave Starry a thrill. She looked up and watched the bright light

coming over her eyes, her eyes were a little bit unfocused.

The doorbell stopped but soon rang again.

Starry was fully awake at this time. She buried her face in her hands and then unfastened her seat belt,

got out of the car, and went straight out of the garage to open the door.

Seeing Izabella, Starry couldn't help but shudder. "Izabella?"

Izabella rushed in and hugged her. "Surprise!"

Starry took a step back to find her balance, then looked at Izabella and smiled, "What brings you

here?"

"I miss you, of course! We haven't chatted for a long time!"

Starry had returned from Finas City a few days ago. Yet Izabella was busy because she was going to

take a break. So, they didn't get the time to catch up. Even the lunch yesterday was a quick one.

Of course, that was not the only reason.

Izabella kept Edward's words in mind. After speaking, she let go of Starry's hand, took a step back, and

looked at Starry through the light on the side. "Are you losing weight, girl?"

She looked at Starry seriously with her hand on her chin.

Edward was right, Starry was in a bad mood indeed.

People could always tell if one was happy from their eyes.

Hearing that, Starry touched her face, "Am I? I feel like I'm gaining weight."

Then she smiled and closed the door. "Let's get inside first"

"Okay, Starry, did you have dinner? I haven't yet.

Izabella took Starry's arm and rubbed her face against her.

Starry glanced at her, "You are like a child now."

"I miss you!"

Starry hadn't been in Alaria City for more than two months. Izabella had called her several times, but

she never said when she would go back.

For some reason, Izabella felt that Starry wanted to get out of here.

That was alright, of course.

But after Starry returned to the countryside, the two of them had less and less contact. Starry treated

Izabella the same as before, but Izabella always had a feeling that Starry would disappear at any time.

Starry smiled, "I miss you too."

She felt warm. Then they entered the villa.

It was kind of too late to make dinner at this time.

Starry ordered some food and choose a movie to watch.

It was an unpopular foreign move. The tone was kind of dark.

After ten minutes, Izabella couldn't help but frown as she tilted her head to Starry.

Starry seemed to like it. She was enjoying it.

There was only the sound of the movie in the living room, Izabella felt inexplicably depressed. She

couldn't help but pull on Starry's clothes. "Starry."

"Yes?"

Starry looked sideways at Izabella, "Aren't you hungry?"

She said, picking up her phone and looking at the location of the takeaway. "It's almost here."

Izabella shook her head, "I'm not in a good mood."

"What's wrong?"

"I want to drink."

"Red wine?"

Starry turned off the movie. Izabella nodded, "Yes."

Starry smiled a little and got up to go to get the wine.

Starry wasn't a drinker, so she only had two bottles of red wine in case she needed it.

Izabella was lying on the sofa looking at Starry's back. She wanted to make Starry feel better, but not

knowing how to do that.

Starry poured the wine into the decanter. Seeing Izabella lying on the sofa with a frustrated face, she

touched her head. "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"I am not suddenly unhappy. I am kind of sad and I don't know why."

Izabella pursed her lips and looked at Starry. "Starry, what do you do when you're not happy?"

"I draw."

"And?"

"Well…"

Starry thought for a second. When she was about to speak, the doorbell rang. She got up. "I'll go get

the food."

Izabella nodded, looked at Starry's back, and sighed.

Today was not a day to be happy.
