Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 22

Today, at the birthday party of Frances, Filip suddenly disappeared. Dillon was looking for him and suddenly he saw Filip with a look on his face like someone owed him tens of millions.

Dillon raised his eyebrows and walked up to him, "Who's messing with you? Today is such a good day, how dare he?"

Dillon was talking sarcastic words, obviously laughing at Filip.

Hearing his words, Filip stared at him with deep, dark eyes, Dillon only felt a chill in his neck, smirked, and quickly changed the subject, "Is Starry not here?"

He was delayed for a while because he had some work in the company. So, he naturally didn't know that Starry had already arrived.

Dillon didn't expect that Filip's face turned even colder as soon as he finished saying those words.

He snorted, "Did Starry piss you off? I mean, you guys are divorced and Starry has been very low-key and quiet during this time. She doesn't seem like a troublemaker. How did she make you angry?"

Dillon is also a person who never learned. He was scared off by Filip just now, and now he is trying to provoke him again.

But he was lucky, and just after he finished speaking, Lucia came over, "Filip."

Lucia smiled and greeted Filip first, then looked at Dillon, "Dillon."

Dillon laughed. "You're so pretty tonight."

Lucia also smiled, "Thank you."

She responded, and her eyes fell back to the very man she cared, "Filip, the old lady is in the lounge on the third floor, right? I'll go up to say hello and give her my best wishes."

Hearing Lucia's words, Filip restrained his emotions and glanced at Lucia, "Grandma has instructed that she won't see any guest for now, so let's wait for the dinner to start. When Grandma is down, you can go and say hello."

"Ah, it seems that the old lady really likes Ms. Bradley."

Dillon heard something else in her words, "Starry is here too?"

"Yeah, Ms. Bradley is quite pretty tonight, Dillon, careful not to be dazzled when you see Ms. Bradley later. No wonder that the old lady likes Ms. Bradley so much. She is really likable."

Lucia said as if unintentionally while swirling her wine, "I heard that the heir of Shining Stars Entertainment also quite admires Ms. Bradley."

Filip's expression, which had just eased a little, turned bad again. He glanced at Lucia and Dillon, "You guys have fun."

With that said, he raised his legs and left.

Lucia didn't catch up, and continued the conversation with Dillon, "Dillon, do you think Ms. Bradley will accept Mr. Matthews' pursuit?"

Dillon was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he shook his head, "No way, Starry likes Filip so much, even if they have got a divorce, she wouldn't start a new relationship so soon."

Before he could finish speaking, Dillon saw Starry clinking glasses with Wyatt not far away.

Starry is really beautiful tonight, and her dress went perfectly with her character and figure.

Not far away, Wyatt and Starry chatted very happily. People who didn't know them would think that the two were a couple when they looked at them.

Dillon suddenly understood why Filip was angry. He glanced at Lucia and sneered, "You know it quite well."

Lucia tickled her hair, "I just heard that accidentally."

How innocent.

Dillon smiled, "Men's desire for beautiful women was completely normal."

Lucia was just a causal acquaintance to Dillon and Dillon knew that she liked Filip and she was very hard to deal with. He didn't want to be used as a gunman by Lucia.

With those words, Dillon walked away.

Starry was ventilating in the garden, but it was too cold, besides she was wearing little clothes, she couldn't stand it after just standing for a while, so she turned back to the banquet hall.

When she came in again, she ran into Wyatt. Wyatt was talking to her about casting. Starry was not someone who would push her luck. She wouldn't interfere too much with casting.

"I'm just a writer. I can give opinions on plots and dialogues, but when it comes to casting, I think the director and Mr. Matthews are more professional than me."

Starry spoke slowly, although her words were modest, you could tell that she was serious.
