Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 115

Warned by Florence, Lily did not dare to grunt secretly anymore.

Yet, she still rolled her eyes upward with disdain when she walked past Starry.

Wyatt noticed it and asked smilingly, "Is there anything wrong with your eyes, Ms. Pearson?"

Wyatt's words claimed everyone's attention and the Pearsons turned around to stare at Lily.

Lily's face fell and turned pale. She eyed Wyatt and faked a smile embarrassedly, "I am fine. I just had an itch in my eyes."

Then, she rubbed her eyes.

Starry smiled and said, "Ms. Pearson, maybe you'd better see a doctor. I thought there was a cramp in your eyes."

Florence and old Mrs. Pearson could figure everything out through Starry's words.

Florence's face fell too. She scolded, "If there is anything wrong with your eyes, you should stay at home instead of coming here."

Lily now hated Starry and Wyatt more. However, knowing that Florence was angry, she did not dare to retort and could only lower her head down quietly.

Old Mrs. Pearson said, "Yes. You should see a doctor if there is anything wrong with your eyes."

Then, old Mrs. Pearson marched ahead.

Florence held Lily's hand and led Lily to go with her.

Filip followed at the back. His eyes darkened when he saw Starry's smile and that Wyatt was staring at her. He paused for a while before he walked to catch up with the other Pearsons.

After the Pearsons left, Starry said, "Mr. Mathews, shall we go?"

Then, she walked out of the restaurant.

Wyatt reached out for her umbrella and said, "Let me hold it, Ms. Bradley."

Starry glanced at him and nodded, "Fine. Thanks, Mr. Mathews."

"Not a big deal. I should thank you for driving me home."

His lips were pulled up. Once outside the restaurant, he opened the umbrella.

The black umbrella was raised high in the air to shelter them from the falling snowflakes.

Florence had just gotten in the car when she saw Wyatt and Starry walking under the same umbrella through the window. She found this scenery quite familiar, "Are they the couple you took pictures of?"

At Florence's words, Lily also looked through the window.

The familiar figures upset Lily. She grunted coldly, "Bitch couple!"

"What did you say?"

Florence tilted her head to glowered at Lily coldly, which startled Lily. Lily shivered, "Nothing, mom."

Sitting in the front of the car, Filip heard the conversation between Florence and Lily.

He could see the so-called well-matched couple under the black umbrella walking towards their car through the windshield.

Soon, Starry got in the car, and after that, Wyatt folded the umbrella and sat on the front passenger seat.

After scolding Lily, Florence found that Filip had not started the car, so she asked, "Filip, what's wrong?"

"Nothing special."

Filip responded and revved the engine.

Starry was a good driver. When the car stopped slowly and steadily in front of a red traffic light, he complimented, "You drive so well, Ms. Bradley."

Starry tilted her head to look at him with a light smile, "Thanks, I have had the license for so many years."

Although she got her license at 18 years old, she had been a real driver for only more than 2 years.

"I can see it."

The green light was on soon. Starry collected her eyes and revved the engine again.

Wyatt lapsed into silence and busied himself with texting.

20 minutes later, they arrived at Wyatt's apartment.

Starry looked at him and said, "Mr. Mathews, we are here. I won't go upstairs to bother you any longer. Thanks for the lunch."

Wyatt unfastened the seatbelt, "'Only Moon' will be released next month. Ms. Bradley, will you present the variety show next week?"
