Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 5

Starry's tone was too flat. The way she talked about divorce was like saying "I ate fried chicken today".

However, she bombarded him with the most jaw-dropping words in such a flat tone.

Filip was obviously stunned. He looked down at the agreement on the desk. The words "divorce settlement agreement" were in bold black and centered.

He remembered the phone call from his grandma, Frances, two hours ago. Filip's face turned sullen, "What are you up to this time?"

Starry glanced at Lucia, who was shocked and secretly delighted. She calmly replied, "Are you sure you want someone else present when we talk about this?"

She was very serious, and she looked calm, without anger or grievance.

Looking glum, he said impassively, "Gibson, take Ms. Scott to the lounge."

Albert didn't expect that Starry would drop a bombshell as soon as she arrived. He was also afraid of being involved, so he quickly turned to Lucia, "Ms. Scott, please come with me to the lounge."

Lucia looked at Starry, but didn't leave, "Mrs. Pearson, have you misunderstood Filip? We are just talking about business today. We had never crossed the line."

Starry frowned slightly. She looked at Lucia and gave a half smile, "Ms. Scott, I think you did misunderstand me. I never thought you two would have an affair."

Lucia was struck by Starry's smile. She didn't buy her words. She deliberately flipped her hair and then asked, "Then why do you want to divorce Filip?"

"What is your relationship with Filip? Why should I answer you?"

Lucia choked at her retort and was somewhat pissed.

Starry, on the other hand, stood there with a poker face. A faint smile on her lips, as if she was mocking at her, or as if she didn't take her seriously.

Filip, on the sofa, became more and more surly, "Get out."

After he said it, Albert hurriedly looked at Lucia, "Ms. Scott—"

Out of pride. Lucia wouldn't insist on sticking around. She wanted to irritate Starry, and she had achieved the goal already.

She believed that although Starry seemed uninterested on the surface, maybe she was already heartbroken inside!

Thinking of it, Lucia regained some confidence and smiled, "I'm leaving. Hope you have a good chat."

Now, there were only Starry and Filip left in the office.

"You want a divorce?"

Filip looked up at her with penetrating gaze.

Starry found his face both familiar and strange. Like waking up from a dream, she finally realized that they looked nothing alike.

Starry looked back, "We signed a 5-year contract. Did you forget it, Filip?"

She said gently, but it totally pissed him off. Filip's face turned darker with anger, "You're right, we signed a contract. It has already been five years, and it's about time."

Starry nodded, "You agreed to the terms on the agreement, including the villa at Silvermoon Bay, the apartment in Ethereal Cascades, and five million cash."

She paused a few seconds before going on, "If there's nothing wrong, please sign it. It won't take a long time after going through all the formalities"

She said word by word clearly, as if she was talking about what to eat tonight.
