Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 19

When Starry woke up on the second day, she felt much better.

She touched her forehead and found that her fever seemed to be gone.

Starry sat up on the bed for a while. Then she remembered that Izabella had stayed here last night.

Starry checked the time and found it was late. She frowned, got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Izabella had already woken up. When Starry went downstairs, Izabella was looking around the villa.

Seeing that Starry, in a beige sweater, looked much better, Izabella breathed a sigh of relief. "Little Starry, do you still have a fever?"

Starry shook her head with a smile, "No. Have you had breakfast?"

Then she walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Izabella stopped her, "I ordered takeout. You're sick. Have a rest."

In order to please Filip, Starry had once taken a cooking class and studied for more than three months. She was a good cook and Izabella had been lucky enough to taste her cooking several times. Now she still missed it, but Starry was sick and Izabella didn't want her to be tired out.

And she herself was the little princess of the family, so she never learned how to cook.

Starry turned her head to look at her and walked out of the kitchen. She poured two glasses of warm water, "I'm sorry to bother you yesterday, Izabella. I'm much better today. You can go to work after breakfast."

Izabella did have something to do today. After breakfast, she had to leave Starry's villa.

After sending Izabella away, Starry took the medicine and turned on the computer in the study, intending to write a new book.

As soon as Filip returned to the company, Austin followed him into his office.

Filip frowned, "What's the matter?"

Austin handed over the documents in his hand, "Mr. Pearson, this is the information about Ms. Bradley's friend whom you asked me to investigate yesterday. Ms. Bradley went to pay tribute to a man called Sebastian Willis yesterday. This man died in a fire ten years ago, and he was the older brother of Edward Willis."

"I see. You can go out now."

Austin nodded and closed the door.

Filip took the file and knocked on it with his index and middle fingers, but he didn't open it.

He and Starry had divorced. There was no need for him to get to know her.

Thinking of this, Filip threw the file into the trash can.

In the afternoon, Austin came in and handed in some documents. When he saw the document in the trash can, he was stunned and wanted to remind Filip subconsciously.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Filip's stone-cold eyes.

Austin was shocked but he didn't dare meddle in it. "I'll go out first, Mr. Pearson."

Filip withdrew his gaze and answered expressionlessly, "Okay."

Austin pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything.

He felt that Sebastian looked a bit like Filip, but how dare Austin say that to Filip.

He had thought that Filip would open the file, so he had put many photos of Sebastian on it.
