Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 152

In the moonlight, Starry looked gentle and calm.

She seemed to have returned to normal, or maybe not.

Starry was focused. Filip swallowed, feeling a bit sour.

"Who is there?"

Suddenly, a male voice came. Filip and Starry subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Light came over, which pricked Starry's eyes. She raised her hand to block it. When she was adjusted, the patrol staff had already walked up to them.

"Who are you?"

The staff pointed at them with the flashlight. Starry subconsciously turned her head to avoid the strong light.

Filip also frowned and moved in front of her, blocking Starry from the staff.

He looked at the staff, "We're here to visit our friends."

The staff didn't quite believe it. "At night?"

Filip knew that this was unbelievable. No one would come here on a rainy night.

But he remained calm.

The staff looked at them. From the way they dressed, they should be rich. They shouldn't be doing bad things. "It's raining. Why don't you come during the day? And how did you get in?"

"We came here during the day."

Filip's face didn't change at all when telling the lie.

The staff looked at him, muttering that it was impossible. But seeing Filip's calm look, he was sort of unsure. "You guys have been here since daytime?"

The staff asked again.

Filip nodded, "We didn't notice the closing time, so we stayed until now."

Seeing that Filip insisted, the staff didn't want to argue.

After all, what else can they do here? Stealing ashes of the dead in fancy clothes?

"Then get out! It's still raining. Aren't you guys cold?"

Filip glanced back at Starry, and looked back at the staff, "Then please open the door for us."

The staff was kind of annoyed. "Take the side door, the main entrance is too far."

Then he went to the other side with his umbrella and flashlight.

Filip looked back at Starry. "Let's go back."

Starry, who had been silent all the time, looked up at him, nodded, and replied, "Okay."

The two men followed the staff and got out of the cemetery through the side door.

The rain was still falling, the wind was cold, Starry subconsciously looked over to Filip. He was only wearing a shirt after giving his coat to her. The wind got into his shirt bulging. She realized that he wasn't wearing more than her.

Starry took off the coat and handed it back to him, "Put it on. I'm not that cold."

She had a coat on.

Starry's finger trembled when the wind hit on her after taking off Filip's warm coat.

Filip looked down at her and frowned slightly, "No."

He did not take his coat back but continued walking with the umbrella.

Their cars were all stopped at the main entrance of the cemetery. They had to walk for a while.

Filip went to Starry's car and reached out his hand. "Give me the keys."

Starry looked at him. "I can go back on my own."

"Give it to me."

It sounded like an order that she couldn't refuse.

Starry pursed his lips and put the car keys in his palm.

Filip opened the co-pilot's door, looked back at her, and motioned for her to get in the car.

Starry's hair was messy because of the wind. She subconsciously raised her hand and put her hair behind her ears.

Her long hair brushed across Filip's cheeks, with its pleasant scent.

Filip looked at her slender white neck and swallowed.

After she sat down, Filip went around to the driver's seat and got into the car.

He inserted the key and glanced sideways at Starry, who was sitting beside him.

She was looking out the car window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Filip looked at her for a moment and saw that she was still watching outside. Then he drove away from the cemetery.

There was only their car on the road at 1 o'clock in the morning.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa.

Filip parked the car and called out to the person next to him, "We're home."

Starry didn't respond. She was leaning motionless against the window.

With the heating on, inside the car was dull.

Filip opened the window a little. The cold wind blew in from outside, which made Starry a little sober.

Seeing the familiar doorway outside the windshield, Starry looked at Filip with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I didn't hear you."

As she spoke, she quickly took the remote control out of her pocket and opened the gate.

Filip drove into the villa, the lights on the second floor of the villa were still on, which lit up the first floor too.

Starry saw the lights and remembered it.

She combed her hair with her hand, went to the bar and pulled two cups of tea, handed one to Filip.

Filip took the cup, only to find that the tea was cold. He frowned, and subconsciously looked at Starry, who had sat down on the sofa and was at the moment drinking with her head down.

Starry frowned a little when the cold tea got into her throat. She put down the cup and looked up, happened to meet Filip's eyes. "Sorry, I forgot to fill cattle with hot water."

She walked over to him and looked at him. "You want another cup?"

Filip looked into her eyes, which shook a little under the reflection of the light. Starry seemed to be looking at him, or not.

"What happened?"

Instead of handing her the cup, he put it on the table next to him.

Starry looked up at him and shook her head, "Nothing."

Seeing that he was not handing over the cup, she went to the bar and filled her cup with some hot water.

After having some hot tea, she looked back at Filip, who was standing in front of her. "Thank you for tonight! It's late. If you don't want to go back, rest in the guest room. It is on the third floor, on the right."

Starry was in no mood to speak. So, after saying that, she walked up to the third floor with her tea.

Filip looked at her back and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, Starry disappeared from his sight. Filip glanced at the cup on the table and left the villa.
