Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 91

Accompanied by such beauty as Starry, Izabella was quite happy, "Look, your colleagues are all praising your pretty face."

Starry chuckled and handed her a slice of cake, "Try it and tell me whether I've made the more delicious one."

Izabella took a small bite and answered, "Yes, you did."

Starry grinned, "Then I will make you another cake later."

Archangel Pictures did a good job this year. The movie it invested in brought it a great success so that it earned a huge sum.

Since they were gonna celebrate the sixth anniversary, Starry generously spent 1 million on the prizes for the staff.

Indeed, spending 1 million on an anniversary party was only a piece of cake for those famous conglomerate.

However, with hundreds of thousands of workers, even though those big companies could spend as much as 10 million on the prizes, averagely, every single staff could only be rewarded with things of very small value.

Unlike those major companies, Archangel Pictures had only 53 employees, altogether including the artists.

Therefore, it meant that, with the budget of 1 million, every staff of Archangel Pictures could be awarded with prizes worth at least several thousand this year.

Therefore, everyone was excited about the party and the prizes.

Even Izabella was curious about the prizes.

However, no matter how curious they were, they needed to wait until night for the Lucky Draw.

It was fortunate that there were countless interesting games held on the yacht, so none of the attendees felt bored during the day.

Although Starry seldom attended these activities, she was supposed to play some games since she had already been there on the yacht.

The idea that they could play with their beautiful boss cheered all staff up.

The anniversary party was indeed well prepared and even Izabella had a lot of fun.

After several rounds of a game, Starry left the crowd. In the meantime, Edward also left the playing crowd and walked toward Starry with two glasses of juice, "Hi, Starry."

Starry took one of the glasses and tilted her head to one side to look at him, "Why don't you join them?"

"Well, I have to accompany you."

His words made Starry chuckle, "I can take care of myself."

Edward drank his juice and stared at her with his bright eyes, "But I want to talk to you. It has been a long time since we had a good talk last time."

After working with Edward for such a long time, Starry now viewed him as her younger brother, "Are you tired from work lately?"

"No, not really."

Then, Edward took out a small delicate jewelry box from his pocket, "I bought this for you when I had a shoot in French this August. I thought it would suit you well."

He opened the box and showed a star necklace, simple-design but very exquisite.

Staring at Starry expectantly, Edward handed her the necklace.

"You really shouldn't have spent your money on it."

Starry took the box and had a careful look at it, "It's beautiful, but don't do it again."

"Okay."

Although Edward offered her his promise, she knew that he would continue to buy her some other presents next time."

Starry eyed him and said, "I won't take it next time."

Realizing the seriousness of Starry, Edward responded much more seriously this time, "Got it."

Hamish walked over with a glass of wine and interrupted their conversation, "Miss Bradley, I propose a toast to you. Thank you for your help with my job."

Edward cast a glare at Hamish, frowning.

Starry smilingly nodded and took a small sip of her juice.

Hamish eyed Edward with a fake smile, "Edward, here's to you too."

As a male adult, Edward could feel Hamish's indecent intention and want from Starry.

Edward raised his glass reluctantly, "I think we can drink in a more casual way."

Hamish smiled without saying anything.

The biggest event was held after dinner.

Before, Declan was the one who presided over the Lucky Draw. Yet, this time, Starry naturally acted as host since she was the boss.

There was one special prize—an SUV worth 300 thousand, 3 slots for the first prize—7-day paid deluxe vacation to Maldives, 5 slots for the second prize—the latest iPhone and iPad, and 10 slots for the third prizes—18888 dollars cash.

If it was unfortunate that someone could not get any of these prizes, they could still receive a bonus of 1888 dollars.

The prizes were so attractive that the whole crowd was more than excited when it finally came to this part.

Declan was responsible for drawing the lucky ones for the first, second, and third prizes while Starry was responsible for the special prize.

When having dinner, everyone could find a number card attached to their chair. There was an online program to help Declan and Starry randomly draw the numbers to decide who would be the lucky ones.

There were altogether 53 employees on the yacht, which meant that nearly half of them could win the prizes.

Izabella was excited with her number in hand.

"Starry, would it be a problem if I win the special prize?"

Starry smiled, "It'll only mean that you're lucky enough."

While they were talking, Declan on the stage was already using the computer to draw the three lucky ones for the first prize.

They were a newcomer of the company, and Catherine, and a staff from the financial department.

"Oh! How lucky Catherine is!"

After the three of them took the prize, Declan looked at Starry and said, "The last prize tonight, the special prize, an SUV! Let's welcome our president Miss Bradley to bring out the luckiest one tonight!"

Starry stood up and stepped on the stage. She was in a red dress, which complimented her body and brought out her charm, especially under the dazzling light.

She seldom wore such a colorful dress. It was actually Izabella's idea. Izabella believed that the color of red had a positive meaning and wearing a red dress could wish a promising future for Archangel Pictures.

Starry was not a superstitious type. Yet, since it was a good day, she was willing to be dressed in red.

Starry swept her hair behind her shoulder, glanced around the crowd under the stage, and pressed the "start" button on the remote control.

After a few seconds, a number appeared on the screen.

Number 9.

Starry shouted with the microphone, "Congratulations to Number 9!"

Then, she saw Hamish walk toward her.

Starry raised one eyebrow and gazed at Hamish as he walked towards the stage, "Congratulations, you're the luckiest one."

"Thanks, Miss Bradley."

It was quite a surprise for everyone that Hamish had such good luck to win the special prize.

It was Starry's first time attending the anniversary party and also her first time drawing the lottery for the special prize, and she made Hamish as the winner.

Many of the staff dredged up the previous rumors about Hamish and Starry when they saw these two people standing together on the stage.

Let's forget the "kept man" part of the rumors—they indeed looked like a couple when they stood together.

Of course, no one dare to broach this topic publicly. Instead, gossips were spread secretly.

When Starry handed the car key to Hamish, a voice shouted, "Miss Bradley, watch out!"

The voice claimed her attention and she involuntarily turned around. Before she could figure out what had happened, she had been pulled away by Hamish.
