Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 105

Starry didn't want to be with Filip so she went in after them.

Hamish took a look at her and went in with her, looking less casual than before.

What a coincidence! The box Catherine booked was next to the one of Filip and Donna.

But the boxes in the Dapper Star were soundproof and they couldn't hear even if they were next doors.

Starry put down her purse, took the menu, and passed it to Hamish, "Let's have some dinner first."

Her voice was still hoarse as she was just recovered from the cold.

Hamish took over the menu and ordered two dishes quickly, "Aren't you better yet?"

Then he took some throat lozenges out of his pocket and put it in front of her, "Take this."

Starry took a look at him and then looked down at the throat lozenges, "I don't like candy."

She didn't take it and Hamish also didn't take it back so it was just there.

Starry added two dishes and a bowl of soup. Then the waiter walked out and it was just the two of them.

Hamish was staring at her and his look changed when he met her eyes, "About last time, I didn't mean to."

Starry replied slightly and obviously she didn't want to talk.

Hamish frowned, "Did you ask me out today to fire me?"

Hearing his words, Starry didn't deny it, "I remember that I told you before, I'm not an easy person."

She then coughed a little, took out a file from her purse, and put it in front of him, "You can check the termination contract. If you don't have any questions, then sign this."

"What if I don't wanna sign this?"

"That's okay, too."

Starry took a sip of water, "But we won't offer you any job opportunities."

Hearing these words, Hamish suddenly laughed.

There were two dimples when he smiled which looked totally different from when he didn't.

Starry just stared at him without uttering a word.

Hamish smiled, "You really think I wanna cut a figure in show business?"

Starry wasn't surprised about what he said considering he bought that vase at the auction so he must have been born rich.

She signed him just on a whim.

But she also wanted him to be popular. After all, she would like to make money.

But there were other stars in Archangel Pictures and it was unnecessary to cause herself trouble just for some money.

"I know you have a distinguished family background."

Starry set her mouth in a grim line, "But what does that have to do with me?"

Then she put down the cup in her hand, "I can sign you then, I can fire you now."

Hearing these words, Hamish's look changed and his smile obviously froze.

At this time, the waiter came in to serve food with a cart.

Starry took another sip of water, "You can read the contract while eating. If you have something in mind, just say it. I'll allow it if that's not too over the line."

Hearing her words, Hamish dropped the contract aside, "Why did you sign me in the first place?"

She was blowing the soup and replied, "Nothing special. I just thought you look familiar to me."

Hamish obviously didn't buy it and said, "How come?"

Starry paused at what she was doing and looked up at him, "As I told you before, you look a lot like my friend."

Starry couldn't say it was her old lover when it came to Sebastian.

"But then why do you wanna fire me?"

Starry took a sip of soup, thought for a while and said, "We were on good terms and I don't want to see someone who looks like him get hurt. So I signed you to protect you"

She suddenly paused at this, "But now I don't feel that way. So I want to fire you. Is that okay?"

She just protected him when she felt like doing it and then stopped it when she didn't want to.

That was totally reasonable.

However, Hamish never felt so aggrieved growing up.

No one in his family would dare to give him a hard time but Starry did it tonight.

He was irritated by her and he almost couldn't breathe right.

He had no appetite at all but she seemed to enjoy the dinner.

Hamish stared at her and then torn the contract apart, "I know what this is about."

Hearing his words, Starry didn't reply at once as she was eating so she swallowed it and looked at him, "So?"

"Promise me three things and I'll leave you alone from now on."

Starry looked at him with a slight smile, "You can only ask for what you want when I have something on you. But I don't. So I don't see this happening."

"Actually, I don't really care if you sign this or not. But if you think that there's nothing I can do, then bring it, Mr. Richards."

His face froze, "You knew I won't sign this. Then why are we here?"

"Didn't you say you want to buy me dinner and make an apology?"

Starry was having soup casually and it seemed that she wasn't annoyed at all.

She said that in a casual manner but it made Hamish speechless.

This dinner took about twenty minutes but Hamish had just a few bites.

Starry had the waiter pack the rest of the meal before leaving.

She planned to heat it for dinner as she didn't feel like cooking.

"Since you wanna buy me dinner, then you pay for it."

She didn't feel bad at all and then walked out with the packed to-go box.

And people from the box next to them happened to leave.

But that was not Filip but the woman who came with him.

Donna took a look at Starry, raised her eyebrows with an awkward smile, took another glance at Hamish, and then left.

"Wait!"

Hamish who was still in that box called her when she was about to leave.

She stopped and turned around at him, "Yes?"

She said it with no expression.

Hamish was thinking about something while staring at her for a few moments and said just before she was about to turn around again, "Since I look a lot like him, then why don't you treat me the way you treated him?"

His words took Starry aback, "Nobody can replace him."

And then she just walked away without looking back.
