Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 46

Izabella had finished the show. She checked on social media during lunchtime and then saw Kayla's Instagram.

Kayla liked posting salty content. Izabella was wondering who the victim was this time.

She clicked on the post and found the person being dissed today was poor Starry.

Izabella got angry and lost her appetite. She took a screenshot of the post and sent it to Starry, then to Dillon.

Starry was driving when got the message from Izabella. She glanced at it without reading the details.

Dillon just talked to his friend Ronnie Watson about Starry. Ronnie was Dillon's friend from college. They had a good relationship. Hearing Dillion's words, Ronnie said sarcastically, "So, you're having a crush on Ms. Bradley?"

Dillon saw that he received a message, so he picked up his phone while and looked at Ronnie, saying, "You're not wrong, but I am more like appreciating Starry. I have read her books. They are very good. She is talented."

As he spoke, he checked the message from Izabella. "You know, our company is going to make a franchise film this year, and I'm looking around for a good script. Starry is writing a new book, which will be released next month, and I was thinking..."

At this point, Dillon stopped.

Ronnie was a little curious. "And then?"

Dillon shook his head. "Nothing, it was just a little joke. Let's go back to what I just did. I just wanted to buy the copyright of her book in advance. The book she had written the year before was already being filmed this year. It is expected to be popular."

Ronnie had a good relationship with Dillon, but they weren't in the same industry.

Ronnie didn't know Starry, but he's heard of Starlight.

Dillon worked in the entertainment industry, and Ronnie had heard Dillon mention several times that they couldn't get the copyright of Starlight.

Every film company wanted the adaptation rights of Starlight's books, even at the price of tens of millions.

Hallowflame Entertainment didn't lack money, but Starlight refused to cooperate with them.

Not to mention Dillon, even Ronnie also felt strange. Why would anyone be against money?

But now, after Starlight was proved to be the same person as Starry, Ronnie's question was answered.

She was not against money, but Dillon.

Hearing Dillon's words, Ronnie laughed. "The key is Filip."

"I know! But… Oh! I hate Filip! He offended Starry, and he took me with him! If it weren't for my friendship with him for more than twenty years, I would have kicked him out of my social life long ago!"

Ronnie took a sip of soup. "Then this won't be solved."

"Well, not exactly so. He was self-righteous. He messed up the thing. But his intention was good."

Dillon raised an eyebrow, not so mindful of Kayla's "slander."

Anyway, Filip said that if he liked Starry too, he would just chase her.

Thinking like this, Dillon also updated his Facebook, saying, "Could anyone remind me since when did it become a shameful thing for two single persons to have a contact?"

Izabella rarely agreed with Dillon. She liked this post.

Dillon and Kayla had a lot of friends in common.

Kayla's posted only ten minutes ago. The meaning was obvious.

In the video that Kayla just posted, Starry's face was captured, and Dillon only had a back.

Many people were curious about who the man was. Now Dillon admitted himself. A bunch of their mutual friends started to gossip.

Filip never check Facebook, but Austin did.

As Filip's secretary, Austin had a lot of common friends with Filip on Facebook.

Because of the cooperation between the Eternal Group and the Scott Group, Austin worked as a driver for Lucia several times. Naturally, he had added Lucia. Later he picked up Kayla for Lucia once, so he added Kayla too.

Austin didn't expect to see such a big gossip. As a secretary, he would rather that he didn't see it.

It was a private matter, but he was Filip's secretary. And not only does it have something to do with Starry, but also with Dillon.

It was obviously not a good thing. If he told Filip, the whole office would be on the eve of the storm this afternoon.

Yet someone was faster than Austin. Filip in the office had already heard about it from Thomas.

"Filip, don't you really mind?"

Thomas wasn't calling to tease. He just didn't want Starry to ruin the relationship between the four of them.

Of course, it wasn't Starry's fault, so he didn't blame Starry either.

Filip sneered, "What would I mind?"

Thomas was speechless, also a little helpless as he said, "Anyway, Starry has been your wife for five years. Five years, not five months, not five days."

"I know this better than anyone."

"Ok, fine! Since this is the case, then I will shut up. I'm going back to work now."

After Thomas finished speaking, he hung up the phone, raised his hand, and pulled on his tie, feeling kind of angry.

He glanced at his phone and suddenly smiled, "He is got such a bad temper. I feel sorry for Starry!"

Thinking of Starry, Thomas sighed again.

Filip was so blind!

Filip clasped the phone, his eyebrows hanging low, and his thick eyelashes blocked the coldness under his eyes.

It was very quiet in the vast office. Filip sat there, his whole body emitting cold air.

Thomas's words were repeated in his ear, which made him irritated.

After a while, he let go of his hand, put the phone aside, open the drawer, took a cigarette, put it on his index finger, squint his eyes slightly, and lit the cigarette with his head down.

Surrounded by smoke, he took the phone again, entered Facebook, clicked on the feeds, and slid down expressionlessly.

Soon, he saw Dillon's post.

Filip saw the comments left by their common friends under the posts.

Most people were congratulating them. Some were bald enough to mention Filip, saying, "Aren't you afraid that this will enrage Mr. Pearson?"

Dillon did not reply to those congratulations, yet he replied to the one mentioned Filip. "They have divorced. If you don't know what that means, ask Google."

The person then said, "congratulations", not daring to say anything more.

Filip glanced at it, his cold brow seemed to freeze with ice, then said curtly, "Childish."

Dillon was really childish.
