Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute
Chapter 181 You just crossed the line, Filip

Filip looked at her and didn't seem intent on giving her leeway: "You're not in a very good place, twice."

As he said this, his dark eyes looked straight at her.

The smile on Starry's face faded a lot: "This is my business."

"I know."

He responded, seemingly not at all surprised that she would say that.

The living room is very quiet, the rain outside, the wind is blowing "whistling", as if to break in and stir up trouble in general.

When he said that, Starry didn't know how to answer the question.

She glanced at the desktop, her face was much lighter, her smile had faded completely, "It's getting late."

Filip looked at her and took her words straight away, "It's getting late, are you going to make dinner?"

He said, his dark eyes skimming over the necklace, "If you don't mind, can I have dinner at your place tonight?"

Filip hardly ate anything during the two days he was over at the ski resort.

Others are happy to eat seafood set meal, he, a seafood allergic person, can only eat some simple simple meal.

Not to say that it is delicious and difficult to eat, but in comparison, it seems that he ate blandly, and even appetite is not good.

It was raining outside and Filip was making such a trip to deliver her necklace.

For the sake of reason, Starry should keep Filip for dinner.

But she is a person who has always acted only according to her mood.

Filip just passed the session, she also do not want to maintain any hospitality, looked up at Filip, opened his mouth and refused: "Not very convenient, you should go back to the Pearson residence with old Mrs. Pearson it."

Filip was sure he could stay, but Starry refused directly, and refused completely.

His face sank for a moment and his eyes didn't look too good: "Are you so ruthless with others too?"

Starry did not directly answer his question, "Our relationship, I think you know best, there should be a line between our interaction."

Here, she paused and looked at Filip, with a few cool pale inside her lake colored eyes: "You just crossed the line, Filip."

She has a nice voice, but that doesn't mean that a nice voice saying nice things is comfortable.

Filip's face is even more ugly, the black eyes are even more gloomy than the sky outside.

As usual, Filip would have gotten up and left in anger by this time.

But his introspection these days is not without effect, like now, he quickly adjusted his emotions.

He lowered his eyebrows, do not know what is thinking, the whole person sitting there in silence, all over the body is a foreigner do not approach the reserved.

The atmosphere in the living room was inexplicably tense, and just as Starry thought he was leaving, he heard Filip say, "Can I wait for the rain to subside?"

Starry does not say how much he understands Filip, his temper is more or less know, he is so arrogant a person, was she repeatedly rejected, but also rejected so directly and completely, it is never still possible to stay.

But the words he spoke were completely different from what she thought, and Starry even wondered if she had misheard.

But she knew that she had heard correctly.

Starry took a look at the balcony, the rain was still falling heavily, and it didn't look like it was going to let up.

The word "no" is not difficult to say, but she has just been "hard" enough, this time she will not even let Filip wait for a small rain, is too unreasonable.

She took a sip of honey water, "Then wait until the rain stops and you can go."

After Starry finished, he got up with his cup and walked to the kitchen.

It is already 5:00 pm, she was planning to make chicken soup, these days there is no appetite, and sleep at night, she wants to drink some soup to calm the mind.

Thinking of Filip outside, Starry looked at the washed chicken in the sink, hesitated, and finally put it in the crock pot.

When she added the water, she hesitated for a few more seconds.

When Starry came out of the kitchen, Filip was answering the phone.

"Not tonight."

He said, glancing at Starry.

Starry walked to the balcony and closed the slit of the outer window a little smaller.

She then walked over to the bar and made herself some honey water.

Filip was soon done with the call, and seeing her sitting at the small bar, he walked his own empty glass over to her.

Starry was stunned for a moment as she watched him open the jar containing the lemon slices, take two slices of lemon from it, and then cross over to her glass of water to take the honey and pour it into his glass.

After doing this, Filip added water.

"Frances just called me."

Starry did not want to take his words, looking down at his glass of water inside some loose lemon slices, did not speak.

Filip gave him a look, "She said she hadn't eaten any of your snacks for some time."

Starry pursed her lips, Filip was not a good person, old Mrs. Pearson was good to her, "Are you going back to the Pearson residence tonight?"

"Hmm."

Starry loosened his grip on the cup: "You stay for dinner tonight, I've made snacks, you can bring some to Frances for me."

Filip rolled up his sleeves, "Can I help?"

Starry didn't feel he could help much: "It's not hard, I can do it myself."

Filip's hands didn't stop moving, he slowly and methodically put both sleeves.

Starry saw this and gave a rare smile.

Filip followed her into the kitchen, ready to help.

Starry tied her hair and glanced back at him, "Do you need to use the computer?"

Starry wanted him at work more than he was following her around.

"No need."

He is busy enough in the company, out of the company, Filip actually does not like to talk about business matters.

Starry tied her hair up, grabbed her apron, and started preparing dinner.

She didn't expect an extra person, and luckily she bought groceries for several days in a row in the afternoon.

Because it was raining, the sky outside was overcast and the lights were on inside the kitchen.

Starry looked down and sorted through the ingredients, the kitchen was big, Filip was by the fridge, looking for garlic and peeling it slowly and methodically against the waste basket. Starry took a look at it, not bothering to say anything about him, and looked down and washed the dishes.

She finished the ingredients, and some aroma came out of the chicken soup stewing on the side.

Starry opened the lid and looked at it, and the whole kitchen was suddenly filled with the smell of chicken soup.

Filip did not feel hungry, but somehow wanted to drink chicken soup.

Filip finished peeling the garlic and didn't use it where he could, he stood by the refrigerator and watched Starry cook.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of vegetables and chicken soup. Filip stood there and wondered what it would be like now if he and Starry had not divorced.
