Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 10

Obviously, Edward didn't expect to hear that answer, so his anger soon turned into surprise.

Edward had known more or less why Starry had chosen to marry Filip.

But back then, he had been just some junior high student, without getting a say at all.

Five years since then, he had become a grown-up. Edward bit his bottom lip, and faltered a while. "Starry, my brother would like you to be happy."

Speaking of Sebastian, Starry lost her attention until after a while she came back to herself and said impassively, "OK."

"Is there anything else you wanna say?"

Edward stared at her with his mouth half-opened, but eventually swallowed his words down. "Well, no."

In fact, he had intended to say that he hoped that she would be happy.

But he failed to say it.

Casting another glance at her, Edward left the study silently.

With Starry and Filip's divorce, Edward's first girlfriend Lucia had become the center of people's discussion, saying that she would become the next Mrs. Pearson.

Lucia returned to the country with a very clear intention, unlike five years before, when Filip and Starry had got married, she had had no chance to even react.

Since they had divorced, Lucia would not be as passive.

Everybody was saying that she was the reason for their split.

So it would naturally make Lucia hold the same thought.

But since her return, Filip had only acted like a business partner and nothing more.

After repressing herself for several days, she finally couldn't help but ask him before he was leaving, "Filip, would you like to have dinner with me together tonight?"

Filip gave her an indifferent look with extreme coldness in his eyes. "I'm available tonight."

Undaunted, Lucia continued to ask, "What about tomorrow night?"

After that, she realized that she seemed too desperate, and brushed her hair with her hand, adding unnecessarily, "Just forget it if you won't be available too. It's just that I've been back for over a month, and we just haven't hung out and caught up."

Filip didn't think he had anything to catch up on with her. "Let's do it some other time."

Instead of an outright refusal, he saved her some face.

Lucia's face darkened. She then said with a forced smile, "OK, then."

Filip walked straight out of the booth after a nod to her.

Just when he came out of the booth, he saw the face of someone familiar. It was Starry, whom he hadn't seen since the divorce half a month before.

Feeling that she was stared at, she slightly tilted her head, and saw Filip. With a little twist in her eyebrows, she naturally turned her eyesight back, as if she had seen nothing, and followed Catherine into an adjoining booth.

Starry was there for the copyrights issues of Only Moon Can Tell, which had ended for three years, during which several companies had approached her about selling the rights, but all had been rejected.

Shining Stars Entertainment showed great sincerity with the offer of five million dollars plus certain percentage for every copy sold, and she would be hired as chef editor.

Catherine also thought it was a good offer, so she had fixed for them to meet that day.

There was a car accident on Starry's way over, so they were twenty minutes late. When she and Catherine came into the booth, the representatives of Shining Stars Entertainment were already there.

Starry spotted Wyatt Matthews the minute she walked into the booth.
