Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 It Has Nothing to Do with You

At 9 in the morning, Starry showed up at the court on time.

When Filip arrived, it was already 9:15.

He was wearing a black suit, hair in slicked-back style that brought out his sculptured facial features. He didn't wear a coat on such a cold day. When he looked at Starry, his black eyes were filled with coolness, "You should think straight. After divorce, you won't get anything except the villa and the apartment."

Starry glanced at him and said calmly, "Thank you, I've thought it over."

She was so breezeless, which immediately pissed Filip off.

He was totally enraged, "Then let's go."

"OK."

Starry turned and walked towards the court.

She wore a grayish purple vintage dress of a British brand. It was cold today. Starry also wore a rabbit hair scarf and a hat of the same color. The makeup on her face was very light, but she still looked delicate and stunning.

Filip looked at Starry's back. His looked very sullen. He hissed and followed her in.

Within five minutes, they got their divorce certificates and stood at the door of the court again.

The staff just asked Starry whether she was sure of divorce, Starry answered firmly. It made Filip more and more agitated.

He looked at Starry coldly, "I'll ask Austin to handle the transfer procedures of the villa and apartment in the afternoon."

When Starry heard this, she paused, looked up and frowned slightly, as if she was a little awkward, "Can I make another appointment with Robertson? I'm occupied this afternoon."

"What's keeping you so occupied?"

After the five-year marriage, Filip had long been used to Starry busy with his and the Pearson family's stuff. As soon as she got divorced, she had other plans. Filip seemed morose. He spoke in a discontented tone subconsciously.

"We have divorced. It has nothing to do with you." Starry said gently, "Mr. Pearson, you are so busy. I'll coordinate with Robertson to settle those trivial things. I won't disturb you any longer."

She paused, and finally looked at Filip, "Goodbye, Filip."

It was strange that since she woke up in the hospital, Starry found Filip's face more and more unfamiliar.

She thought she was funny. After a five-year dream, she finally woke up.

Starry turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Her car was parked opposite the road. It was still the Maserati that she drove to the Eternal Group that day.

Filip watched her cross the road, get in the car and drive away. He was irritated to the extreme.

He walked back to the car moodily.

Austin saw Filip's face and quickly repressed what he meant to say, "Mr. Pearson, are we going back to the company?"

The people in the back seat seemed not to hear it, or he was in no mood to speak.

The car was overwhelmed by silence. After a long time, Filip finally said, "Help Starry with the transfer procedures of the Silvermoon Bay villa and the apartment in Ethereal Cascades."

Austin was surprised. He thought Starry just wanted to warn Filip by proposing a divorce.

After all, Filip's "first love" Lucia just returned home, and there had been rumors between the two. Though Starry loved Filip so much, she still had temper.

Filip looked gloomy. Austin thought it was because Starry's erratic behavior had pissed him off. Now, it seemed that it wasn't the case.

Filip then asked him to drive back to the company.

Austin stopped thinking and started the car.

Starry didn't cheat Filip. She was really busy in the afternoon. Edward Willis finished filming a new play and would fly to Araria city at 4:30 in the afternoon. She needed to pick him up.

Starry left the court and went back to the villa. She cooked a simple meal for herself. As soon as she finished eating, Austin called her to discuss the transfer of ownership of the villa and apartment.

They made an appointment. Austin still called her Mrs. Pearson. After he finished, she corrected him, "Robertson, Filip and I have divorced. You don't have to call me Mrs. Pearson anymore."

"Yes, Mrs. Pearson... Uh, Miss Bradley."

He had called her "Mrs. Pearson" for five years, it was not easy to change.

Starry then said goodbye and hung up.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Starry got up and hurried to the airport.

Edward booked ticket and came back to Araria city without telling his agent. He was afraid that his fans might recognize him, so he wore a baseball cap and a black mask. Starry didn't recognize Edward until he walked up to her.

"Beauty, are you waiting for someone?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Starry was stunned for a moment, then she grinned, "Oh, I didn't recognize you."

Edward pulled down his mask. "You have to take a closer look, in case you would mistake me for someone else."

Starry looked at a handsome face extremely close, she blushed, "Put on the mask, I don't want to go viral on the internet."

"Don't worry, Starry. No one knows I'm back today."

"That's hard to say."

Starry glanced at him. "What would you like to eat in the evening?"

Edward pressed his hat, "I haven't eaten you cooking for a long time."

A 23-year-old boy who was good at playing cute could easily light up Starry's mood. She raised her eyebrows and grinned, "I know."

As they talked, they walked out and neglected that paparazzi had been staring at them for a long time.

They had dinner in the villa. Just after dinner, Catherine Kelly called Starry.

Starry was in a good mood today. After having a few cups of souvenir apricot wine, her cheeks flushed. She answered the phone with a soft voice, "It's me, Catherine."

"Starry, did you pick Edward up at the airport today?"

"It's me. What's the matter? Have we been photographed?"

Catherine had a headache, "You were not only photographed, your relationship with the Pearson family was also dug out."

Starry frowned. "Can you put a lid on it?"

She and Filip had divorced. She didn't want to disturb the Pearson family.

"It's too late. You and Edward have better not go out recently. I'll come back tomorrow and discuss with you on this matter."

Catherine was Edward's agent. She was professional in this respect.

"OK, I got it." Hanging up, Starry smiled and stared at Edward, "Didn't you say that no one would know?"

Edward also knew what happened online. He looked glum, "Sorry, Starry."

"Forget it, let's wait until Catherine comes back."

Edward nodded and looked at her. After a while, he put the divorce papers in front of Starry, "Have you divorced Filip?"
