Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 33

Filip never believed that Starry was seeing the superstar Edward as they said online. He didn't believe it, but he did see her hugging him now.

Seeing Starry in front of him, Filip only thought that she truly was good at acting, but somehow, he was angry, "What's the point, Starry?"

She thought she could get his attention by doing this?

So naive!

She was the one who wanted a divorce. And he might say yes for Frances if she came crawling back to beg him to remarry her.

But if she dreamed about the other way around, that was never going to happen.

Starry turned around and looked at Filip, "Filip, I don't understand what you just said."

Filip just found out that she got her hair cut short.

Looking at her spotless face, he was dumbfounded and frowned, "We've been divorced, Starry!"

Hearing his words, Starry nodded, "Filip, you don't have to remind me that, I know we are not together anymore. We've been divorced for over a month, and I know pretty well about our relationship."

Starry said it in a casual yet serious voice which sounded like she was saying what she had for dinner.

Filip was getting quite upset about what she said, "Well, that's good."

Today lots of stars were attending the show so there were quite a lot of cars in front of the station and many paparazzi waiting to get their photos to make a splash.

Filip took a last glance at Starry and then turned around to his car considering there were more and more people coming.

Starry didn't care what Filip thought.

As he said, they've been divorced.

After getting back to his car, Filip saw Starry going back to her car and driving away shortly through the windshield.

Sitting in his car, he didn't look happy at the thought of what she said before.

What did she mean by that?

She knew that they were divorced so she and Edward had a real thing?

Filip felt awkward about this thought, and he didn't know why. It was like a cat that had been begging for him to touch it ran away when he bent over and was about to touch it.

She better ran away as far as she could.

Filip drove the black Maybach at an extremely fast speed which startled a female star who was getting off her car.

Back to the Pearson residence, Filip drove with a dull expression.

Florence and Lilly spent Christmas in Araria City. Florence saw Filip come back and then she smiled, "Who messed with you? Why that face?"

Filip took a glance at Florence, "Auntie."

He walked into the villa as he said it.

Florence turned around, saw him leaving, and shook her head in frustration, "Mom, why is he still like this?"

Frances took a sip of tea and said, "Like father, like son."

Florence thought for a while, "Well, now you mention it."

She walked to Frances' side, "Mom, did Filip and Starry really get a divorce?"

Frances didn't feel good talking about this, "Yep. I don't know who could put up with him."

Florence heaved a sigh, "What a pity! Starry is nice."

Frances didn't utter a word. Apparently, she agreed with Florence's words.

Filip arranged for Lilly to attend the live show on Araria TV tonight.

It was Lilly's first time on a TV show, so Frances, Florence, and others were waiting to see Lilly on TV in the living room after dinner.

Filip was busy all year round and Christmas was his only chance to live like a normal person.

Seeing that Filip had finished his call, Florence waved to let Filip come over to keep Frances company.

After Filip sat down, there was no Lilly on TV but the star who was said to be in a relationship with Starry.

Florence didn't gossip but she had heard one thing or two about it.

Wasn't that Edward the one who Starry had been seeing recently?

Florence glanced at Filip aside and said intentionally, "This young lad is good looking, and he has a beautiful voice. No wonder so many young girls love him!"

Frances had presbyopia and it took her some time to see Edward clearly, "Well, he does look nice. Quite a gentleman."

Filip was sitting aside and peeling a pomelo.

The host asked a question that fans wanted to know to enliven the atmosphere when Edward finished singing, "Edward, this year is your year of luck, so, do you have any new year's wish or resolution? Say, a new relationship?"

Edward was a superstar, so normally the answer would be vague.

But he said, "Actually, I do have a plan on that."

This answer took the host by surprise but luckily his brain ran fast, "Well, then what kind of girl do you like?"

"About 5.4 feet, spotless skin, big round eyes with a oval face."

"Wow, they say people give specific standards when you have someone in mind. To be honest, Edward, do you have a crush?"

"I do."

Edward admitted it but the host changed the subject as it would get out of control if he kept asking.

Florence was taking the pomelo, "It seems Starry checks all the boxes."

Filip who was peeling the pomelo put it on the end table when Florence finished her words, "Martha, get me a knife."

Filip then turned around to Florence, "Auntie, you don't have to insinuate things like that. Starry and I are divorced, and who she likes or who likes her has nothing to do with me."

Florence ate some pomelo, "You overthink it. I just thought that they look good together."

Filip changed his look and didn't reply.

What Edward said on the show had become a hot topic online.

There should be joy and peace online as it was Christmas so the scandal between Edward and Starry was getting handled soon after it made a splash.

Edward was in Araria City with Starry for three days and he flew to shoot a movie on the fourth day.

On the seventh day, the topic "the girl Edward likes" was on trending topics and soon Starry was accused of plagiarizing in her novels as "the girl Edward likes".

The topic of "Starry plagiarizing" was the No. 1 trending topic over one night.
