Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 106

Hamish watched her walking away until he couldn't see her at the corner of the stairs, then he looked at the man in another box, "I didn't know Mr. Pearson has a penchant for overhearing."

Filip took a look at Hamish, "I'm just standing here. I don't think that was overhearing."

He then looked away and left as he didn't want to say anything to Hamish.

Starry saw Filip walking over when she had just gotten in her car.

He took a glance at her and then kept walking.

She watched him walking towards that black car and getting in, then she started her car and drove away.

But Filip didn't drive away the second after he got in.

He watched that red Ferrari disappear in front of him and what she said before about "Nobody can replace him" came into his mind again.

Despite a bunch of weaknesses, he had to admit that Starry was an affectionate person.

Filip then stopped thinking and drove away.

After that, he went to Pearson's House first to talk to Frances about the dinner with Donna.

Frances had just woken up from her nap, and she was having coffee while listening to Filip about this blind date, "What you are saying is old Mrs. Porter and I was giving you two a hard time?"

Filip pressed the fingers into his temples, "I didn't mean that. I just hope you can let me handle it by myself."

Frances sneered, "I just told you to meet with her. And that's over the line?"

Filip knew that there was no way he could talk her through this so he stopped arguing and sat upright. He felt quite uneasy while looking at Frances who was having coffee, "If I wanna win Starry back, would you stop me?"

Frances put the coffee cup down slowly, "Didn't you just say you wanna handle it by yourself? You can go after whoever you like. What difference will it make if I say no?"

It was the first time he bit his own medicine.

Asking that question took him a lot of courage and now he was afraid to say anything more after what Frances just said.

"Got it."

Then he looked down to check the time on his watch, "I gotta go. Have work to do."

"Sure. You don't want to talk to me either."

Frances waved at him without even taking a glance.

It was Saturday and there was actually nothing to do in his office.

Filip didn't go back to the company and he drove to his apartment instead after leaving Pearson's House.

He walked into the study, picked those paintings from the trash can, and looked at them one by one.

He couldn't figure out what he was feeling but he just thought it was nice to be loved.

Dillon thought he misread the caller ID when he picked up a call from Filip.

Filip never called him at weekends. But today he called to ask Dillon if he wanted to have a drink together tonight.

Dillon surely was free so he went to Club Magenta after having dinner at his own house.

He hadn't met Filip for almost three months.

So Dillon was flattered when he got the call from Filip who was always busy.
