Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 28

Jackson didn't like the actors or actresses who would like to get their role through dishonest means. Now that Number 3 dared to slander Starry, Jackson turned his cold eyes on her, "Give me your name."

All the present knew what Jackson wanted to do.

Number 3 appeared so arrogant in front of those esteemed judges, and that really annoyed Jackson. What would she become if she became famous in the future?

Number 3 also stunned as she saw Jackson's cold face, "I… I…"

"Give me your name!"

Jackson said word by word and smacked his hand down on the desk angrily.

People present were all shocked by the sound. Number 3 knew she had irritated the famous director. Then she turned to her agent helplessly.

Her agent walked over to her and apologized to both Jackson and Starry, "She is young and doesn't know better. I've tried to stop her. She just entered the society and is being impulsive. But she admires you so much, Mr. Adams, and she loves your works. And that's why she lost it today when she knew she didn't pass. Please, forgive her, Mr. Adams."

Now no matter what Number 3 said, she couldn't save her career.

But Jackson didn't buy the agent's words. If Starry did give her a low score on purpose, Number 3's complaint might have been justified. But it turned out that she had judged the actress quite fairly.

If the marking form were not saved by the assistant, then Starry wouldn't have been able to prove her innocence.

Number 3 only appeared to be nervous when Starry was proved innocent. She was quite confident when she shouted to make a complaint against Starry.

Jackson got even angrier after he heard the agent's explanation. He shouted, "Now the casting is over. Your actress didn't make it. Now leave my room! Or I'll ask my assistant to help you."

The agent's face turned pale instantly. Then she took Number 3's hand and led her away.

Jackson turned to Starry after they had gone, "Don't bother, Miss Bradley. Some newcomers didn't know how to be a decent actor, or even a decent human being."

Starry smiled faintly, "Thank you so much, Mr. Adams. I hope that didn't trouble you much."

Then she knew then the series should be left to Jackson. Starry didn't want to intervene so she found an excuse, "I still got something to do and I must go now. See you, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Adams."

Wyatt raised his eyebrows and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Adams. I won't bother you. Shall we have lunch together, Ms. Bradley?"

Wyatt soon walked over to Starry just after she left.

She turned to Wyatt and said with her beautiful eyebrows raised, "I'm a vegetarian these days. Maybe it's not convenient for you to have lunch with me…"

"I could also be a vegetarian."

His words meant he would definitely have lunch together with Starry.

Starry bit her lower lip and said softly, "Then it's my pleasure to have lunch, Mr. Matthews."

Wyatt said with his lips curved faintly upwards, "I know a nice vegetarian restaurant nearby."

"Then please show us the way, Mr. Matthews."

Then she remained silent after finishing her words. Wyatt was walking on her right side and he could sense the sweet air around her.

The perfume on Starry was quite different from the women he had smelled before. Unlike the fragrance of many perfumes on other women, the sweet smell on Starry was light, like wood mixed with the scent of blossoms.

Wyatt didn't like the strong floral fragrance. But the mild fragrance on Starry actually made him feel calm and relaxed.

She didn't say anything anymore and so did Wyatt.

The moment they walked out of the room silently, Starry was stopped by Number 3, who said, "Do you know who I am, Starry?"

Starry looked at her hand and said in a low voice, "Why should I need to know?"

This girl, called Lilly Pearson, was quite embarrassed as she saw Starry's reaction, "You… Now I know why my cousin didn't love you. Let's see who's gonna win in the end!"

Lilly knew that it was hard for her to get any job in any TV series. Florence had tried to stop her when she tried to start a career as an actress.

Now what happened today completely shattered her dream of being a famous actress.

Lilly stormed away angrily and her agent was following her from behind begging her to slow down.

Starry had a glimpse of her back and then turned back to Wyatt. For her, Number 3 was only an actress who didn't pass in the audition.

Wyatt suddenly said, "You have no idea who she is?"

Starry frowned, "Why should I?"

Wyatt said with his eyebrows raised, "She is Lilly, daughter of Florence Pearson. I think you know who Florence Pearson is."

Starry was surprised but she didn't appear to be surprised.

She certainly knew who Florence was. She was the only aunt of Filip. But she got marriage in Tepachula City and she only got back to the Pearson residence once or twice in a year.

During the first days of her marriage with Filip, Lilly was still studying abroad. And she had only met Lilly once. By then Lilly didn't like her and Starry only saw her from afar. So, she didn't recognize her during the casting.

But so what even when she was Lilly Pearson?

The TV series was not funded by Filip.

A flicker of interest came into Wyatt's eyes. It was said that Starry was still in deep love with Filip.

But during Frances's birthday party, Wyatt had always been fixing his eyes on Starry and he found that Starry didn't pay much attention to Filip. And when Lilly mentioned Filip, Starry seemed only to be surprised. There was no other kind of emotion in her eyes.

Now she acted as if Filip was a stranger to her.

They've been in marriage for five years and it was weird for Starry to remain so calm.

Interesting indeed.

Starry stopped and pointed at a Ferrari nearby, "My car is there, Mr. Matthews."

Wyatt knew it was her car. That night Wyatt witnessed with his own eyes how Starry crashed into Lucia's car.

"My car is here. We can call each other when we arrive."

Starry nodded and walked over to her car.
