Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 35

Starry heard about this later than Dillon and them.

She didn't go online much and just wrote her new book at home after Edward left to shoot his movie.

Recently, she almost worked until midnight and then continued her work after breakfast every day, as she was having a burst of inspiration in writing.

But today, she got stuck at continuing with the plot, so she turned off the computer and had a nap after lunch.

Probably due to the inadequate sleep before she had this nap for over two hours and found a couple of missing calls when she woke up.

Edward and Catherine both called her four hours ago but she left her phone in her room and didn't check.

Most of the missing calls were from the editor Scarlet Willis. And there were messages from her on Facebook and Twitter.

It seemed like something huge had happened.

Starry put down the cup in her hand and called back Scarlet.

Scarlet was waiting for Starry the whole day and she was just about to find Starry in person in Araria City if Starry still didn't call her or text her.

"My god! You finally called! I'm gonna go mad if you don't call me!"

Starry and Scarlet had worked together for many years and Starry knew her pretty well. Scarlet liked to play but she never called Starry seven times continuously.

"What happened?"

"Did you leave your phone in your room again? Quick! Check on Twitter! That Iris said you had plagiarized her novel in Make a Show!"

"Hang on."

Starry soon read the article Iris posted as she said, "Oh, that."

Scarlet was anxious about this but Starry still said casually so she didn't know if she should admire her for it or should be upset about her being okay with this.

"Oh my Starry, didn't you forget you were popular in the first place because of Make a Show? If that is real, you'll be doomed! I sure believe you. But that Iris said her novel was posted three months before you."

"She even posted her manuscript and the beginning of your novels are the same except for some little changes."

"Well, what did the company say?"

"Do you have proof that you didn't plagiarize? The company said that we're gonna talk to Iris and ask her to delete the post and wait for people to forget about it if you don't have proof. Your new novel is about to be published next month and Only Moon Can Tell is shooting, if she keeps doing this, we're gonna pay a penalty to the crew."

Scarlet knew it was a bit harsh but Make a Show was a novel written over seven years ago and it would end up against Starry with the proof even if she didn't plagiarize.

But Scarlet was still upset for Starry. Starry signed with the company and only got a small part of the copyright so if Starry wanted to fix this personally Scarlet would be with her, "Little Starry, what do you think?"

Starry just read Wyatt's text, "Just as what Iris thought."
