Catherine was taken by surprise when she knew that Edward was going to settle down in the dormitory apartment owned by the company, "I remember that you have a house. Why not live in it? The apartment is actually quite humble."
"It suits me just well and it's more convenient for me to go to work from the apartment."
Edward would not confess his true intention—he could have a close watch on Hamish so that Hamish would not have his chance to do something to Starry.
Catherine frowned, "Well, you are such a hard worker."
Now that she could not have Edward tell her the truth, she would turn to Starry for help.
After all, during the three-day rest after their work, Edward had already been with Starry for two nights.
Therefore, that he suddenly came to her with his suitcase for a key to the dormitory apartment was more than bizarre. However, he seemed to be in a good mood, so it was quite impossible that there was conflict or quarrel between him and Starry.
Starry, pursing her lips, told Catherine on the phone, "Nothing special. I just think that it's inappropriate for us to live together anymore since he has already grown up as an adult."
Catherine was confused, "???"
Edward did not change into an adult within one day, and, what's more, Starry always held the view that they are no more than brother and sister.
Unless…
Although Catherine knew very little about Starry's personality, she knew Edward's more than anyone else.
Therefore, she could almost guess the whole story after her conversation with Starry through the phone.
Yet, as an agent, she was the friend and subordinate of both Starry and Edward, so she'd better not interfere with their private affairs.
"Yes, indeed, it's more convenient if he can live in the dormitory apartment."
Fake blindness to the secrets beneath the surface was the best choice.
"Indeed."
Starry answered in a soft voice, upset coloring her tone.
Catherine hung up the call without any other questions.
Rubbing her temples, Starry put his phone away and walked into the study.
On the floor lay dozens of sketches of the young Sebastian that she drew several days before.
She bent over to pick them up and put them in a file carefully.
Why would Edward like her?
She was confused.
Early the next morning, Starry was woken up by the doorbell. She looked exhausted and annoyed when she was awake.
Tossing and turning, she slept on a sleepless pillow for a whole night until almost five o'clock in the morning.
However, she was woken up by the doorbell after 7 o'clock. It was the flower giver again.
She picked up her phone and checked the CCTV record.
In the video, a man left after he put down the flower.
Starry recognized him at first sight.
Was that Filip?
It was unexpected.
It was unexpected that Filip was the flower giver and Starry just could not believe her eyes.
She suddenly recalled that she saw a black Maybach around the corner of the street several times when she picked up the flowers.
Yet, since it was still dim in the early winter morning, she did not pay too much attention to the car so that she did not even remember the number on its plate.
Then, she put away her phone, slipped into her jacket and then walked downstairs.
Although it was not raining anymore, the weather was not good.
The sky was still dark at half past seven in the morning.
Starry walked through the garden and found a bunch of red roses by the door.
