Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 42 Have You Misunderstood Something?

Izabella had been worried about Starry but she was relieved seeing Starry like this today.

Knowing that Starry had her plan, Izabella then didn't worry anymore.

They hadn't met for a long time and there should have been more chatting, but Izabella still had to work

at night at the TV station so they were leaving soon after they finished dinner.

Izabella rolled her eyes when she saw Dillon outside the box.

Dillon didn't care about her rolling eyes and just walked towards Starry with roses, "Roses should be

with a beauty."

Seeing the roses Dillon gave her, Starry moved her eyebrows and said with a slight smile, "I don't like

roses."

She said it casually like she was just explaining.

Starry turned it down so abruptly that even a playboy like Dillon didn't know what to do, "Well, I'll

remember next time."

He shoved the roses to Izabella as he said, "The beauty doesn't want it, then you have it."

Izabella just wanted to throw it away but roses didn't do anything wrong so she took it and rolled her

eyes again, "OMG, who wants to be your sister!"

Dillon said in disdain, "You think I want you to be my sister?"

They just loved to bicker and Starry had got used to it.

Starry just stood there and watched them bickering.

At this moment, the door of another box was pushed open and there came Filip with his coat on his

arm.

Izabella and Dillon unusually both stayed quiet after seeing Filip.

Izabella lowered her head at the roses, "Starry, these roses are nice. Dillon does have a taste of this."

Starry didn't know how to stand up for herself but Izabella would.

Dillon also got the idea, "Starry, what flowers do you like? I'll send you the one you like next time!"

Starry took a look at Dillon, "You don't have to. I don't like flowers."

Dillon didn't quit, "Then other stuff."

Starry smiled, "Thanks, but I don't need anything."

Starry walked forward as she said it.

Dillon was here today to upset Filip, so he wouldn't quit, "That's okay. How about dinner some other

time?"

Hearing this, Starry stopped and looked at him, "Sorry, Dillon. I've been busy lately."

Dillon replied with a nice smile, "Well, call me when you're available."

Starry remained silent for two seconds, "Okay."

"I should go. I have to work on my draft."

"Well, in that case, drive safe."

"Okay."

Then Starry took a look at Izabella, "Do you need a ride?"

"That's fine, Dillon will take me."

Hearing Izabella's words, Dillon said knowingly, "Yep, I'll drive her home. Don't worry."

"Okay, then."

Starry nodded, fixed her coat, and left.

Seeing that Starry had left, Izabella looked back at Filip and then elbowed Dillon, "You're really gonna

go after Starry?"

Dillon replied, "Didn't you say that you want a sister-in-law like her?"

Izabella snored, "I do want. But, could you?"

"Hey!"

Izabella and Dillon were talking in a quite loud voice and Filip heard everything behind them.

"Move."

They got in Filip's way. Filip just stood behind them with a cold face.

Dillon looked back at him, "What a coincidence! You are here, too?"

Filip took a mean glance at him, "Poor acting."

Then Filip just passed by him.

Dillon got annoyed, "That's ridiculous!"

Izabella's lips curled when Filip walked to the corner of the stairs, "Why's he still so annoying."

Dillon snorted, "Who knows?!"

Dillon and Izabella both thought that Starry deserved better.

It was still raining. Starry picked up her umbrella and saw Filip coming down when she just opened it.

She just took a glance at him, fixed the scarf around her neck, and was about to get to her car as she

didn't plan to say hi.

Before she could walk out into the rain, Filip walked behind her and said, "You think then I'll remarry

you?"

His voice was even colder than the weather.

Starry frowned, raised her head, and said casually, "Have you misunderstood something?"

Filip looked at her and laughed, "With Dillon's poor acting? Please. Next time find a professional,

maybe."

The waiter gave him an umbrella just when he finished his words.

Filip took over the umbrella and walked into the rain in strides.

Seeing him leaving, Starry held her mouth and walked out with her umbrella.

Filip saw Starry walking over when he sat in his car.

Filip thought she was walking towards him but he then realized that Starry's car was parked next to his

when she walked past him and got in another car.

The rain wasn't heavy but it was dark outside so Filip couldn't see her through the cars.

The headlights of Starry's car soon on and she then drove away.

Filip remembered the scene when Starry was waiting for Wyatt yesterday which got him agitated.

He took a cigarette out from the box next to him and lit it with the window open.

The wind and rain from outside were quite chilling along with the white smoke.

A drop of rain dropped on his car window which was only half open. Filip raise his hand and pressed on

that drop of rain with his slim fingers so hard that it seemed like he was pushing someone. Izabella and

Dillon went out when the cigarette was just partly done.

Filip stubbed the cigarette and drove off as he didn't want to talk to Dillon.

Dillon recognized Filip's car and heaved a sigh, "What's up with him?"

Izabella took a look at the roses in her arms, "Probably got mad by you."

Dillon knew Filip pretty well, "No way. He won't regret it at this time."

Filip always drew a clear line between people he liked or didn't like, otherwise, Lucia wouldn't end up

just a "first love".

It was worse for Starry. She had been Mrs. Pearson but now she was just a stranger to Filip after

divorce.

Izabella and Dillon both thought that Filip shouldn't have treated Starry like this. But there was nothing

they can do. This was typical Filip.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
