Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 99

The voice grabbed most of the attention. Starry looked back at the boy and found she didn't know him. She got a little confused, "Are you speaking to me?"

The boy walked up to the stage and came up to Starry with a big bouquet of roses. "These roses are for you from my friend."

The boy was handsome. Although he didn't look well-dressed, anyone who knew something about luxury brands could tell that even his T-shirt and thin coat were extravagant.

Dillon came and looked at Starry and then at the boy. "Is he your friend?"

Starry shook her head and looked at the boy. "Who is your friend? I think you have the wrong person."

"You are Starry Bradley, the president of Archangel Pictures. You use the pseudonym Starlight and this is the opening ceremony of a show adapted from your new book, right?"

The boy said and held up the roses in his hand again. "Ms. Bradley, these are for you."

Hearing this, Starry had to pick up the roses.

The boy was called Harris. Seeing Starry take the roses, he answered the question she had asked. "By the way, Ms. Bradley, my friend is from the Richards. You should be able to guess who it is."

With that, Harris said and waved his hand as he stepped back. "Wish the new show a hit!"

Starry was stunned for a moment and quickly realized who sent her the roses.

She knew it was Hamish.

Dillon also guessed. He had long thought that Starry was dating Hamish. Looking at the roses in her arms, Dillon said, "How romantic!"

Dillon thought Hamish deserved Starry. He would choose Hamish as well if he were Starry.

Starry and Filip had been married for five years, but Filip never sent Starry any flowers.

By contrast, Hamish was perfect boyfriend-material.

Hearing Dillon's words, Starry knew that Dillon got the wrong idea, but she didn't want to explain. After all, there were so many cameras on stage, and they were going live

Starry shifted the roses to her left hand and slightly side-stepped to avoid some cameras. "Mr. Baxter, the opening ceremony is over. If there's nothing else, I'll go."

Dillon still looked at the roses in her arms. "Why not have dinner with the lead actors and producers later?"

"I will dine with them when the filming is over."

The meal was not necessary, so Dillon didn't persuade anymore. "Okay, just go where you are needed."

The roses in Starry's arms were too eye-catching. Besides, Harris shouted at her so loudly that most of the people present were focusing on Starry.

After all, Starry was hot-damn gorgeous.

With such a huge bouquet of roses, she would be a trending topic soon! Many people wanted to take advantage of this chance to gain popularity.

Starry remembered that Sienna wanted her autograph, so she went to Sienna after she finished with Dillon.

Sienna had just finished an interview putting on an impassive face all the way. But seeing Starry, Sienna subconsciously wanted to smile. However, thinking of what her agent said, she tried not to do that.

Starry didn't mind it at all. "Sienna, you said you wanted my autograph. I'll autograph a book and I'll bring it to you next time, okay?"

Sienna was Starry's big fan. Thus, she was over the moon after hearing Starry's words. "Okay! That's great!"

When Sienna saw the roses in Starry's hand, her eyes lit up. "Ms. Bradley, are those from your boyfriend?"

Almost everyone was keen on gossips, and the superstar Sienna was no exception.

Starry gave a smile. "No, these are from a friend of mine."

"Then he must be your suitor. Nine hundred and ninety red roses look really nice!"

Sienna forgot what her agent said as soon as she spoke to Starry. "But you look much prettier than these roses!"

Starry was amused. "Thank you, Ms. Miller. I've got to go. I'll bring you the book next time."

"Do you mean you won't eat with us?"

"I have something to do."

Sienna had no choice but to say with disappointment in her eyes. "Well, see you next time."

Starry gave Sienna a look. "See you."

Sienna nodded and looked at Starry's back with great admiration.

Seeing this, the agent in the auditorium nearly freaked out, even wanting to kick Sienna's ass and remind her.

Starry walked off the stage with the roses in her arms. Very soon, several paparazzi followed her and too asked. "What beautiful roses! Ms. Bradley, are you available for an interview?"

Starry raised her hand to block the camera. "Sorry, I don't do any interviews."

"It won't take long. We have only a few questions."

Starry knew how persistent these paparazzi were, so she refused to say anything and just walked forward.

The paparazzi also realized Starry's intention. Hence, instead of asking Starry if she would be willing to be interviewed, they started asking her questions. "Ms. Bradley, are these flowers from your boyfriend?"

"Ms. Bradley, can you tell us what you're expecting from 'Under Moonlight'?"

"Ms. Bradley, it's said that you have never worked with Hallowflame Entertainment before. Why do you choose to collaborate with them this time?"

Starry was experienced. No matter what questions the paparazzi asked, she always remained silent.

After walking for a few minutes, Starry finally arrived at the parking lot.

Starry didn't park her car very much inside, so it didn't take long to find her car.

The paparazzi also realized that Starry would not say anything and many others stars were at the ceremony as well.

Therefore, after Starry got into the car, they all turned around and ran back.

Starry looked at them running fast through the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing.

How dedicated they were!

Starry looked from the paparazzi to the roses on the passenger side. Surrounded by the fragrance, he tilted her head thoughtfully for a few seconds, then took out her phone and texted Catherine.

Starry had thought Hamish was just joking and did not expect him to do such a thing.

Starry was not naive anymore. She loved roses, but she did not appreciate what Hamish did at all.

Catherine soon returned the message, saying that Hamish wouldn't be in Araria City all this week.

Starry had to drop the idea of having a talk with Hamish. Catherine asked her about it with some curiosity, but Starry did not say anything in detail.

Catherine was very smart. Hence, she guessed there was something important.

She knew Starry wouldn't tell her anything. On second thought, Catherine realized Starry seldom asked her for help unless there was something she couldn't deal with.

Catherine logged onto Twitter and finally knew what was going on.

Turned out this brat was much more audacious than she had thought!
