Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 50

Filip and Austin were in a meeting, only Albert was there.

Albert couldn't stop Lucia. Seeing her went straight into Filip's office, his face turned white. "Ms. Scott…"

Lucia walked in without giving him the chance to finish the sentence. "Go do your work, I know the rules, I won't mess around."

Albert did not dare to enter Filip's office, watching Lucia go inside, he pursed his lips, and stood in the doorway for a few seconds. He went back to work helplessly.

This wasn't Lucia's first time in Filip's office, and there was nothing to be curious about.

She sat on the side of the sofa, thinking about how she was going to talk to Filip about things online.

Denial was impossible, Filip had warned her.

Lucia arrived in a hurry. Only now did she realize that she didn't know how to explain to Filip.

Thinking about this now, her heart was chaotic.

Lucia sat for nearly half an hour but failed to think of a solution. So, she could only ask for help in the chat group.

Sophie suggested that she should hurt herself before Filip come back. Men all hated to see women suffer, not to mention that they had been friends for so many years. For the sake of her injury, Filip would forgive her.

Sophie's advice sounded terrible, but it was practical.

Lucia got up, Filip's office layout was simple, except for the bookshelves, she couldn't figure out a way to hurt herself.

Lucia walked up to the bookshelf, thinking of how she could make the stuff on it fell and hit her.

His eyes swept over the bookshelf, and suddenly found a contract that did not fit into the books inside the shelf.

Lucia looked up slightly and saw the words "marriage agreement" on the back of the contract.

It was clearly not a commercial contract. She pulled it straight out, and when she saw the name of the agreement, Lucia gasped in disbelief.

It was a "marriage agreement" in Filip's office, so it was naturally Filip's.

In fact, Lucia did not guess wrong, she quickly turned the agreement, to the last page, and saw Filip and Starry's names on it.

This discovery excited Lucia, but she knew that Filip wouldn't want anyone to know about this matter.

She quickly stuffed the agreement into her bag, picked it up, and walked out of the office.

Albert came forward. "Ms. Scott?"

Lucia glanced at Albert, "Forget it, I'm not waiting for Filip. Tell him that I am sorry when he comes back from the meeting"

She said, lowering her head slightly, looking uncomfortable.

Albert naturally knew the things on the Internet, and in his opinion, Lucia should say sorry to Starry.

Of course, as an assistant, he had no gut to say this out.

"Okay, Ms. Scott, shall I send you?"

This morning Austin said that Filip was in a bad mood, he was worried that Filip would be angry if he saw Lucia in the office. Albert was relieved that Lucia was leaving.

Albert felt Filip must have been angry about what Lucia had done.

"No, thanks."

Lucia shook her head, then left on her own.

Lucia was guilty. She went so fast that she didn't even notice when the head of the Eternal Group greeted her.

Back in the car, she couldn't wait to open the agreement and look at it carefully.

After reading it, she smiled.

It turned out that Starry was just "bought" by Filip to cope with Frances.

Their five years of marriage were just a contract, a business.

However, in her opinion, this was a contract for Filip, but not necessarily so for Starry.

Otherwise, why was she so unethical to show up at Frances' birthday banquet after the contract was over?

Thinking of this, Lucia's eyes dimmed.

The Pearson family was rich, Filip inherited everything. All the young ladies in Araria City wanted to marry into the Pearson family.

Starry, a poor girl would naturally clench tight to the chance

Filip knew nothing about women. Did he think that Starry did so much just because of this agreement?

Now that God let her know about it, Starry should give up the idea.

Lucia was going to show Starry's true face to everyone, lest Frances defends her!

The more Lucia thought about it, the more excited she became. Only until a car drove out did she withdraw her thoughts. She put the agreement back in place and drove out of the parking lot.

She caught Starry's tripping this time!

Starry woke up the next day and only then did she see Flip's statement. She didn't check social media much.

Filip's visit last night surprised her.

Thinking about it, she shouldn't be surprised.

Starry's had been making ideal progress with her new book, and after breakfast, she put her phone outside the study to concentrate on writing.

It wasn't until the alarm went off that Starry got up and left the study.

In the blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock. Time for lunch again.

She bought groceries online in the morning and they were delivered soon.

Starry cooked. She had a lot of unread messages and seven missed calls.

The missed calls were from strange numbers, Starry ignored them. She opened Facebook to reply to Edward and Izabella's message.

Just as she was about to put down my phone, the doorbell suddenly rang.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, put her phone on the table, turned, and went downstairs.

It was daytime and there was monitoring at the door, so Starry was not worried that it was bad people outside. She opened the door without looking at the visual screen

Although it didn't rain today, the weather was gloomy and it was kind of cold.

Starry tightened her coat and went out threw the garden path. Then she saw Lucia standing outside the barricade.

It was a bad person indeed.

Far away, Starry couldn't see Lucia clearly. But when she walked closer, she saw the pride on Lucia's face.

She didn't know what Lucia was proud of after the things on the internet went on like this.

But Lucia wouldn't come with good intentions.

Starry didn't open the door immediately. She stood in front of the barricade and looked at Lucia indifferently. "What's wrong, Ms. Scott?"

Lucia was a little displeased seeing that Starry didn't open the door. "There is indeed something wrong, Ms. Bradley, we need to talk."

Starry refused without even thinking about it. "Sorry, I don't think there is anything to talk about, Ms. Scott. And I am busy."

Why would she talk to Lucia?
