Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 101

There were quite a lot of people in the transfusion room and most of them had their friends or family with them, but Starry was alone, which was rare.

She took a seat around the corner and waited for the call of the nurse who would push a medical cart.

"Starry?"

The nurse came in and called her while taking a medical cart soon after she just sat down. Then Starry raised her hand.

The nurse walked over, "Just you?"

Starry nodded.

The nurse looked at her and felt sorry for her.

Starry stretched her left hand out and she didn't feel a thing as it was an experienced nurse.

The nurse fixed her IV flow rate and told Starry to pay attention to it in a gentle tone.

Starry felt dizzy from the fever so she just replied with a hum.

The nurse took a look back at her as it was the first time she saw such a beauty in real life.

Seeing that Starry looked pale and her lips were dry, the nurse went out and then took a glass of water.

Starry was surprised, "Thanks."

"That's okay. You should drink some."

"I will."

Starry replied with a slight smile, looked back, and watched the nurse leave.

There were some chatting and whispering in the transfusion room. Starry was exhausted after a few minutes and fell asleep leaning against the wall.

Austin didn't notice Starry when he entered the transfusion room until he overheard those two girls in front of him talking about a hot girl at the corner.

It was not that he was up to something, he was just curious about how hot she was.

Austin was also having a fever and his friend was paying the medical bills and taking his medicine for him so he came in by himself to find a seat and waited for the nurse to get his IV.

Austin recognized Starry at once as no one would be hotter than her.

At this point, Austin's friend came and was curious about Austin looking somewhere, "What are you looking at? Hot girl?"

Then he turned to look where Austin was staring, "My gosh! She's stunning."

Austin rolled his eyes at his friend, "You know who that is?"

"Looks familiar."

"Of course. She's that popular writer that went on the news days ago, Starlight. Her real name was Starry Bradley."

"Shit. Isn't she the ex-wife of your boss?"

These words reminded Austin of something.

It was a mess in the company these days, especially in Filip's office.

Austin had worked for Filip for many years and he could almost figure out what Filip was thinking.

But Austin couldn't just tell Filip that he ran into Starry at the hospital, so he needed to think of a way to let Filip know as soon as possible that Starry was in the hospital on her own.

Austin felt his headache was getting worse but he still managed to come up with an idea, in the hope that he could work in a more relaxing office environment after the sick leave.

Austin then called Albert. But he didn't say anything much and just let him get something from Filip's office.

People didn't dare to knock on the door of Filip's office for no serious reasons lately so Albert was frightened when he heard Austin's words, "Austin, can I get it for you next time?"

"You have to, this time!"

Albert didn't think much and said yes.

After hanging up, Albert prepared himself for a few minutes and knocked on the door.

A deep voice soon came from inside, "Come in."

Albert got scared only from hearing this voice.

He took a deep breath and pushed the door open to walk in, "Mr. Pearson, I came to pick up something."

Filip didn't even raise his head to look at him but just replied, "Okay."

Albert bit the bullet and continued speaking while looking at Filip, "It's in your drawer."

Hearing his words, Filip finally looked up.

Filip frowned with discontent, "What's in my drawer?"

"It's Ms. Bradley's stuff."

Filip's look changed, "What stuff? Let her get it herself."

Asked by Filip, Albert said what Austin told him while his back was sweating, "Austin told me to get it. He's in hospital having an IV and ran into Ms. Bradley. His friend will come to pick her stuff up later."

Filip's eyebrow moved a little, "What is it?"

"He said it's an earring."

"OK, you can go."

Albert hesitated a little but he didn't dare to stay any longer when he met Filip's eyes who was impatient, "OK, Mr. Pearson."

After walking out, Albert heaved a great sigh of relief and then took his phone to call Austin.

Austin didn't say anything more on the other side of the phone instead than "OK" and sent him to work.

Albert felt something was wrong but he had no idea what it was.

Meanwhile, Filip was sitting in his office.

He subconsciously grabbed his phone and was about to call Austin after Albert left the office, but then he put it back on the desk.

At the same time, Austin sent a text to Filip, "Mr. Pearson, Ms. Bradley left an earring last time she came to see you. I put it in a jewelry box and the box was in your drawer. But I've forgotten about it since. I'm getting an IV in hospital today and ran into her. So I thought I should return it to her."

After Austin's words, Filip heard the voice of Austin's friend, "It looks like Ms. Bradley is alone. She's asleep and the needle on her hand is about to fall off. Should we wake her up?"

Filip was listening, "Which hospital?"

Austin took a look at his friend and raised his eyebrow triumphantly, "I'm in Groovehorn Hospital."

"Okay."

Then Filip hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, Albert, who had no idea what happened, saw the door of Filip's office was open and the man came out.

Albert stiffened. However, Filip just walked away without glancing at him.

Albert felt relieved and then texted Austin, "Austin, you could've said something. I was scared to death. I had even thought about my last words."

Austin replied to him with an emoji, "You did a good job!"

"I just tried to make a living."

That was true.

The whole office would get depressed if Filip kept being in a bad mood.

After texting back, Austin hurriedly told his friend, "If Mr. Pearson comes, you just say I'm sleeping. I'm in deep sleep and know nothing."

Austin's friend raised his eyebrow, "Is that really necessary?"

"Sure. You wouldn't understand."

"Well, I really don't."

The Eternal Group was not far from Groovehorn Hospital' so it took just 15 minutes for Filip to drive there.

Starry was asleep when Filip found her, the needle was fine and the IV fluids were more than half full.

He sat down beside her. It seemed that she got uncomfortable sleeping in a chair as she frowned and changed her positions several times.

Starry changed her position again but this time her head slipped onto his shoulder.
