Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 213 I'll settle this matter

Jackie stiffened for a moment, and she subconsciously took a step back, looking at Filip standing in

front of the villa door , for a long time, before raising her head slightly, trying to make herself look less

weak: "Where's Starry?"

"It's upstairs."

Close to eight o'clock the night was already thick and Jackie didn't notice seeing Starry.

"I'm looking for her for something, please let me in."

"What's the matter? She doesn't want to see anyone who doesn't matter."

Filip said lightly, "It doesn't matter" and sent Jackie away.

Jackie heard this is also discontent, but the man in front of the aura is too big, the cool eyebrows look

over like ice, look at her heart weak and afraid.

But thinking about Lucia's words today, Jackie gritted her teeth, "I have old business to talk to her

about."

Jackie thought Filip did not know about Sebastian, she finished, hesitated and said: "Mr. Pearson,

Starry this woman is not as simple as you think, do you know that she used to harm- "

The word "death" has not yet been said, Filip directly cold voice cut off her words: "Your name is

Jackie, Miss Hill, I advise you not to provoke Starry."

The coldness inside those dark eyes sent chills down Jackie's back, and Jackie's whole body froze

there.

I don't know why, although Filip didn't say it explicitly, but Jackie felt, if she did something to Starry

again, this man, will not let her go!

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Pearson! Since Starry is weak-minded, I'll just have to

come back to her next time!"

Filip's eyes got even colder when he heard her say that, "You sent the text message, didn't you, Miss

Hill?"

Jackie froze and looked at Filip with a bewildered expression: "What text message? I don't know what

you're talking about, Mr. Pearson! Please tell me Starry, the things she did before, won't just go away

like that!"

"It seems Miss Hill has to be against me."

Filip looked at Jackie, threw down such a sentence, directly raised his hand and pressed the side of the

door switch, then turned around and went inside the villa.

The door slowly closed, Jackie watched Filip turn around, she then realized that Starry had long been

down, standing three or four meters away behind the door.

When he saw Starry, Jackie subconsciously spoke: "Starry, what are you so weak about, you don't

even dare to see me?"

As soon as she spoke, she saw the man who had just turned away so sharply turn around and look

back at her coldly.

Jackie's face went white, where she dared to say anything, rushed back to the car and drove away.

Filip glanced at Starry, his eyes resting on her face for a long time, seeing her look as usual, before

speaking, "Don't pay any attention to her."

Starry looked at him too, "She's not the one who sent the text." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She said it in the affirmative, not in the interrogative.

Filip also identified that the person who sent the text message was not Jackie.

He just asked so suddenly, the topic changed quickly and without any signs.

Jackie's reaction was surprised and then thought it was odd that this was a normal human reaction.

"I've already had someone look into this matter."

Starry slightly pursed his lips: "Not Jackie, that is Lucia."

She does not have many people she has crossed, seriously, she and Jackie are not cross, but Jackie

can not see her well.

Filip's eyes sank, Starry can think of Lucia , he naturally can also think of.

"I'll take care of this matter."

Starry nodded a little, looked at Filip , and suddenly smiled: "I have a presumptuous question, Filip ."

The moon is nice today and the wind is blowing over very cool.

Starry smiled, her eyebrows slightly relaxed, and it was clear that she was not affected by Jackie.

He also converged his eyebrows for a moment, and his dark eyes melted a lot: "Ask away."

"Did you and Lucia ever really talk before?"

This question is indeed a bit offensive, Starry is not always a gossip, but she just married into the

Pearson family, Lucia's friends and some people in the circle have deliberately brought up this matter in

her ears.

During that time, she heard the most, "What are you so proud of? When Miss Scott comes back, you'll

have to step aside!" Those words.

Starry actually did not care, but then Lucia returned to the country, she and Filip two people do seem to

be the same thing.

Until now, Lucia was targeted because of Filip.

Starry asks this question, and not just for gossip and curiosity.

Filip Rather did not expect her to ask this question, he raised his hand to gently block the smile inside

his eyes, "No."

Saying that, he dropped his hand, his dark eyes looked into those pretty almond eyes and said once

more, "I have never had any ambiguity with Lucia ,"

Probably feeling less rigorous, Filip also added: "I can't care about her one-sided feelings."

Starry let out a light tsk and lifted his leg to walk inside the villa, sighing as he slowly stepped on the

steps, "People always like to make things difficult for the weak."

Lucia likes Filip and wants to marry into the Pearson family, but Filip doesn't like her, she can't get into

the Pearson family, she doesn't dare to blame Filip, because the Pearson family she can't afford to

mess with, so she can only put the blame on her as a marginal character.

But is not, specializing in picking soft persimmons pinch.

Starry stopped in her tracks and she looked back at the fuse Filip : "Filip ."

Filip followed her, and when he saw her stop suddenly, he stopped too.

The two were separated by two steps, a difference of 60 centimeters, and he had to tilt his head slightly

before he could see Starry's eyes.

It was the first time he looked up at people.

"Are you still chasing me now?"

She asked it directly, without any half-hearted euphemism.

Filip swallowed slightly, the knot in his throat rolling under the shadow of his chin, "If I say yes, will you

stop looking for me?"

His voice was a little husky, much deeper than usual, as if he was pressing something.

Starry deviated his eyes and landed on the crystal lamp on one side, "Have you heard of the

Drawbridging Effect?"

Filip didn't answer her question directly, "The Drawbridging Effect is when a person crosses a

suspension bridge with fear and trepidation, he or she can't help but have a faster heartbeat. If at this

time, happen to meet another person, then he will be wrongly caused by this situation to speed up the

heartbeat of the understanding of the other party to make their own heart, only to produce the physical

reaction, and therefore the other party to breed love feelings."

He knew what Starry wanted to say, "I'm not in a hurry, you can think clearly enough and we'll start

again."

Starry wanted to say something, and finally lips slightly pursed, in the end did not speak.

She is now like a person crossing the suspension bridge, and Filip suddenly appeared in front of her,

she subconsciously tried to catch him.

Those feelings of dependence and security make her unable to identify and sort out what kind of

feelings she has for Filip.
