Starry might seem indecisive, but she was actually a very determined and assertive person.
In her point of view, with her divorce with Filip, the agreement she had signed before that had become invalid, so she had nothing to do with Filip whether legally or personally.
Starry had no interest in Lucia's relationship with Filip. She didn't want to know whether she was a friend or what kind of relationship she had with Filip either.
It was a clean and clear breakup, from which she realized that what had happened during those fives was just a dream she had woven for herself. Now she woke up from that dream, and everything should be back to the start.
Starry didn't want to get involved with Filip or anyone related to him.
With only one look at Lucia, Starry turned her eyes away impassively.
Lucia, however, called Starry and spoke to her, "Mrs. Pearson, oh, sorry, I forgot, you are divorced, so it's Ms. Bradley now."
That was a very provocative opening.
Catherine frowned as she had heard that, but she wasn't Starry, so she could just watch.
Wyatt looked at the two women with an interested look on his face.
He was drawn by the scene.
Starry gave Lucia another glance as if she had not heard the provocation, nodding and saying hi to her naturally. "Ms. Scott."
Lucia recognized Wyatt right away. They were not close but at least had met before as people working in the same business.
With Starry's total ignorance of Lucia's provocation, Lucia lost interest and said, "Since you have friends here. I might as well leave you alone."
With that, she glanced Starry and Wyatt significantly before walking away in her heels.
The glance was too explicit that it irritated Catherine so much. If Wyatt and Mr. Berry hadn't been around, she would have sworn at her.
Starry got her eyes off Lucia and smiled slightly at Wyatt as if nothing had happened, and then continued to walk on.
Watching Starry's back, Wyatt tutted and raised his eyebrow. "Interesting."
He smiled and followed after Starry.
The group stopped as they reached the hotel, and after some pleasantries, Starry and Catherine got in the car.
With his hands in his pockets, Wyatt watched Starry through the car window. She was lying back on the chair idly, and smiled when Catherine spoke to her. Her smile was soft but striking.
"What do you think, Mr. Matthews?"
Wyatt withdrew his gaze off Starry when he had heard Mr. Berry. "Ms. Bradley is a smart person. Get ready. It won't take long for her to send the contract back to you."
Wyatt said to Mr. Berry and took the key over from a doorman and matched toward a Maybach parked not very far away.
Catherine stared at Starry, who had been smiling, and said, "Ms. Bradley, sometimes you need to show your temper a little bit."
Starry raised her pretty eyebrow and asked, "You mean to Lucia?"
Catherine nodded. "That Lucia seems to be a tough nut. The first thing she said to you was so mean."
Starry smiled and said, "She's just someone that's not worth mentioning."
Catherine paused for a while and then looked at her with mixed feelings of admiration and helplessness.
