Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 37

The smile on Lucia's face disappeared and she took another step back.

Wyatt took a look at her and walked forward passing by her.

Starry was still there at the end of the hall.

Wyatt was surprised. He had met Starry three times and she didn't look like the one who tended to pretend.

Starry was holding her umbrella, "It is raining outside, and I guess you didn't bring an umbrella."

Wyatt suddenly realized why Starry would wait for him when she pointed outside.

His mouth made a little noise, "I thought you are waiting for me on purpose."

They were all grow-ups and she understood what he meant by "on purpose".

Starry took a step outside and said while holding the umbrella and looking at him, "Why would I?"

Why would she?

These three words really expressed her feelings.

Wyatt thought about that night when Lucia crashed Lucia's car twice.

He found Starry more interesting.

Lucia got annoyed by Starry and Wyatt so she looked back at them and her face lit up again when she saw Starry was waiting for Wyatt at the end of the hall.

She then looked at Filip and said, "They do look good together."

Dillon didn't like Lucia much and he even liked Starry more.

He held really hard to not laugh when Lucia got choked by Starry and Wyatt.

Hearing her words now, he couldn't resist anymore, "Starry just sold a book to Shining Star Entertainment and they are probably just here for business."

Lucia glanced at Dillon and pointed at the end of the hall without rage, "Would they leave together if it was just for business?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Filip with no change of face so she held her mouth and added, "This isn't the first time I saw them together."

Dillon took a look back and then looked at Filip who didn't utter a word all this time and said at the thought of Izabella's words, "Well, they do look good together."

Hearing his words, Filip finally said something, "You two just keep talking."

Then he walked forward in strides.

"Are you mad?"

Dillon took a look at Lucia and Lucia replied with an awkward expression, "I don't know."

Then she kept up with Filip, "Filip, when do you think Starry and Wyatt..."

Filip stopped his steps and looked at Lucia coldly, "Since you care so much about Starry, do you like her, too?"

Lucia didn't expect that he would suddenly stop and say this to her as they had known each other for over a decade and he never said anything harsh to her.

But today he said this to her for Starry.

Lucia's face looked strange and Dillon then added, "That's right. You always talk about Starry when we're out. Lucia, you never had a boyfriend before. Is that because you are a lesbian?"

They all knew that Lucia had a crush on Filip.

But they normally didn't say it out loud to make her feel better.

After all, they were in the same field, their families were all friends and she was a girl so they just tolerated her.

But Dillon did feel that Lucia had been pushing it since she got back from abroad this time.

He was not stupid. How could he not know why all things about Starry online ended up nothing?

Dillon's intention when he didn't say anything was the same as Filip's.

The fact that they tolerated Lucia didn't mean that she was allowed to do anything.

Dillon always felt that Starry did love Filip, but Filip let her down.

Now that they had been divorced, it didn't matter who was the wrong one and he shouldn't cause her any trouble.

Dillon couldn't watch this as Lucia always messed with Starry as an outsider.

Filip added, "If you like her, you can just forget it."

"..."

Lucia was almost too angry to breathe, and she finally couldn't resist and said while looking at Filip walking away, "You guys go. I'm not feeling well and I just wanna go home."

Then she turned around to leave in her high heels as she said it.

Dillon raised his eyebrows and caught up with Filip, "Filip, you do know how to choke a person."

Filip took a look at Dillon, "You like Starry, too? If you do, you can make your move. We haven't had sex."

"..."

What a jerk!

Dillon was amused by his words, "Filip, mark your word. I kinda like her."

Of course, Dillon was saying this out of anger at Filip but Filip still acted indifferently, "Okay."

This simple word really angered Dillon.

Dillon gnashed his teeth and cursed him secretly so hard that he could not hit Filip.

Starry didn't know she had caused such an argument. Wyatt's car was in front of hers so she took him to his car and went to her car. Then she closed her umbrella and drove away.

It was past nine when she got back to her villa. Starry took out the card Wyatt gave her and added Bentley's Facebook.

She put down the phone and went to take a shower as he didn't add her yet.

When she got out of her shower, Bentley had added her and made a brief introduction two minutes ago. He texted her directly that he knew why she added him.

Starry read the text and texted back with her eyebrows moved a little, "In that case, Mr. Wood, we should meet tomorrow."

"Okay. 3:00 pm tomorrow. Pleasure Temptation Coffee."

"See you then."

Then Starry went online and saw what was going on today about herself.

There were over 300,000 comments on her Twitter as she didn't reply about it and "Starlight Apologize" was the No. 1 trending topic.

While Iris just posted another one three hours ago, "I'm not asking for justice. After all, capitalists wouldn't give it to me."

This was quite a smart post. Unless Starry could prove that she didn't plagiarize otherwise it would be the fact that Starry did plagiarize and Iris did get set up by capitalists after this post.

Starry raised her eyebrows and logged out of her Twitter. Then she texted Catherine and Scarlet, "Don't make any move."

Starry was the kind of person to make them miserable all at once.
