Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 154 Check It Out

Hearing the sound of the door, Starry looked in the direction Filip had left for a few seconds. Then she

took out a medicine box from the nightstand.

It was the sleeping pill she prescribed in Finas City. People can't buy them without prescriptions

nowadays. She didn't get a lot and she had taken most of them in Finas City. She took three out of the

five left and took them.

Then, Starry turned off the lights and lay down.

The sleeping pills worked maybe, Starry slowly slept.

Filip had just finished a cigarette. He returned to the room. Hesitating for a bit, he decided to look for

something.

After finding his pajamas, he took them into the bathroom.

When HE came out of the shower, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning.

Filip put down his phone, walked out of the guest room, and walked toward the master bedroom at the

end of the corridor.

The light in the master bedroom was turned off. He twisted the doorknob, opened the door, and walked

in. By the moonlight outside the window, he could faintly see Starry on the bed.

She was already asleep.

Filip glanced at her and noticed the pill box. He frowned and opened it.

It turned out to be sleeping pills.

Filip pursed his thin lips, glanced at Starry, who was in a sound sleep, closed the medicine box, and put

it back in place. Then, he retreated from the room.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Filip woke up.

He didn't fall asleep until nearly five o'clock in the morning last night. Three hours of sleep wasn't

enough sleep, but he had a meeting in the morning.

Filip rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed, put on the clothes he wore the day before, and went

to wash up. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Starry's guest room was well prepared. The toiletries were all brand new and disposable. The pajamas

in the wardrobe were also clean ones.

She did things really well. No wonder Frances was so fond of her.

Filip wiped his face with a tissue, went out and put on his watch, then left the room.

On the second floor, he saw Starry coming out of the kitchen. Filip was a little surprised, but Starry was

very calm. "Good morning, do you have a meeting in the morning?"

When Starry was Filip's wife, Austin would send her Filip's schedule as Frances had requested, so

Starry knew a little about Filip's business.

Filip looked at Starry, who didn't look very well. But soon, she smiled, as if she had recovered.

He nodded. "Aren't you sleepy?"

"I'm fine. I can go back to sleep later. Thank you for last night, wait a minute, let me pack the

breakfast."

Starry put the food in a container and handed it to Filip. "Take my car."

Filip took the car key and food from her hand. "I will ask someone to send it back later."

"Okay."

Starry smiled and nodded gently, which gave Filip the illusion that they had not yet divorced.

Filip went downstairs without saying more.

He walked to the garage, put the container in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and drove out

in Starry's car.

At the gate, Filip saw Starry standing with an umbrella to open the door for him.

Filip looked at her in the rearview mirror, feeling complicated.

He remembered that when his parents were still alive, his mother used to do the same for his father,

standing at the gate of their villa, watching his father go to work.

He drove out of the villa, and Starry was no longer there.

Filip couldn't help but glance at the food container besides, and then drove the car to the company.

Filip was driving a different car today, so when he parked it in the underground parking lot, many

people were wondering who dared to park Filip's exclusive parking space. It turned out to be Fillip

himself.

Looking more closely, Filip had a food container in his hand. People got excited upon seeing so.

Austin was surprised when he saw Filip coming out of the elevator in the same clothes as yesterday.

Seeing that Filip had come to him, Austin quickly gathered his thoughts. "Mr. Pearson, good morning!"

Filip glanced at him. "Morning, come in, Austin!"

Being called into the office early in the morning, Austin was a little uneasy.

He exhaled slightly, followed Filip into the office, and closed the door understandingly, saying, "Mr.

Pearson?"

Filip looked at him and threw the car keys in his hand at Austin. "Find someone to send the Mercedes

in the parking lot back to Starry."

Hearing the name "Starry", Austin immediately got the spirit. "No problem, Mr. Pearson!"

He picked up the car keys but didn't leave right away.

As expected, soon Filip gave him another order. "I want to know the detail information about

Sebastian's accident."

He said, pausing. "And check what it has to do with Starry if you could."

Austin was astonished, a year later, Filip asked him to check this matter again. He couldn't help but

wonder if Filip had found anything. But the things that Filip asked him to check seemed to have nothing

to do with the two of them.

Austin didn't dare to speculate on Filip's thoughts. "Get it, Mr. Pearson!"

When he finished, he looked at Filip's clothes and hesitated. "Mr. Pearson, shall I get you some new

clothes?"

"No, thanks."

He had spare clothes in the lounge. Filip waved his hand to ask Austin to go out. Austin nodded and

left immediately.

Outside the door, Albert asked, "Mr. Robertson, is Mr. Pearson in a sunny or rainy mood today?"

Austin thought for a moment. "Cloudy, I suppose."

Albert breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God!"

Cloudy was better than rainy.

Austin was also relieved and quickly arranged for someone to check on Sebastian's accident.

At this time, inside the villa.

Starry breakfast, Starry sat on the sofa, listening to the wind and rain outside, feeling sleepy but did not

want to sleep. She sat there thinking of nothing.

After nearly half an hour, the doorbell rang. Starry got up and walked downstairs.

It was the person sent by Filip to return her car.

Starry took the car keys. "Thank you."

The person was amazed at Starry's beauty, but thinking that she was Filip's woman, he did not dare to

look more. He lowered his head. "You are welcome, Ms. Bradley!"

After the short courtesy, the person left. Starry also returned to the villa with an umbrella.
