Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

"Hmm."

Filip raised a hand to rub his temples and hummed in a nasal voice.

He wasn't angry.

Starry took a bite of the strawberry, it was a little sour and she frowned slightly, but she kinda liked it.

She was eating strawberries while watching Filip.

It was strange that Filip didn't get angry and didn't leave with a cold face, but sat there patiently waiting for her massage.

But she has never been very fond of probing people, for Filip how the temper suddenly became better, Starry although curious, but also just curious.

She ate three strawberries and looked at the time, "Don't you eat fruit?"

"No need."

Filip leaned back on the couch and watched as Starry took two cherries.

She eats slowly and delicately, the way old Mrs. Pearson would say a lady of the house would eat.

Filip had never noticed before, but only occasionally caught her eye and thought she was not as big a eater as Lilly.

It's pretty good looking.

But with a face like that, even if you eat like Lilly, it won't be hard to see where.

Realizing that he was actually thinking about this, Filip had a few rare moments of unnaturalness.

He closed his eyes, and Starry on the side also closed his momentum.

She had almost finished eating, got up and went into the bathroom and rinsed her hands, came out and drew two paper towels to wipe the water stains on her hands. After doing this, Starry just looked at him, "Okay."

She said, pulling aside a pillow and placing it in front of her.

Yesterday Filip was also pillowed on that pillow, the pillow rested on her thighs, so to speak, he was pillowed on her thighs across the pillow.

This seems a bit ambiguous, however Starry is as calm as ever and that bit of ambiguity is broken up.

Filip's migraine is not a complete lie to Starry, he does have migraines, but not recently.

Starry people look slender, massage movements force but just right.

Dillon used to like to go to the club to get a massage, the club is a proper club, but he does not like to be touched by others themselves, not to mention what relaxing and comfortable to press.

Instead of wasting more than two hours going to a club to get a massage, he could have spent two hours at home to empty himself.

Now he has some understanding of Dillon, the massage is indeed quite relaxing, the comfort of being rubbed out of the soreness and swelling after receding, one at a time, over and over again, so that people have a kind of peace of mind that wants to sleep.

This time Filip did not fall asleep, Starry held the pillow: "You can lie down a little longer, rest a little, so that the effect will be better."

Filip gave her a look, didn't say anything, but the person didn't get up from the couch either, apparently acquiescing to her words.

Starry's hands were a little sore, and she broke her fingers and kneaded them one by one.

Filip was about to close his eyes when he saw her movement and frowned lightly, "Do you need my help?"

Starry didn't expect him to still have his eyes open: "Just close your eyes and let go for a while."

What kind of rest is lying down with your eyes open?

Filip did not speak again, he slowly closed his eyes.

The villa is quiet inside, Starry does not speak, he only hears the occasional wind blowing the curtains.

Starry rubbed his fingers for a while and looked at the time, almost ten minutes had passed.

She then picked up her glass and got up, went to the small bar, refilled two more cups of warm water, walked over and put one on the coffee table in front of Filip.

At the sound of her footsteps, Filip opened his eyes and sat up from the couch.

Seeing the warm water refilled at his heels, he reached for it and drank half a glass: "Thanks."

He said, he paused: "Frances has been talking about you for a while, if you are not busy, I hope you can come to the Pearson residence to see her."

"Good."

Starry put down the cup and looked at the time, "It's late, go back to rest early, early rest is also good for migraine."

The words of send-off were natural and straightforward for her to say.

"Hmm."

He responded, picked up the phone aside and got up, "No need to send it."

Filip is also said to go.

Starry still got up to see her off, but she stopped short when she reached the stairs.

After watching Filip go down to the first floor, Starry withdrew his eyes and went back to the sofa to sit down.

Soon, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs.

Starry subconsciously glanced in the direction of the balcony, the wind blew the curtains and they were fluttering.

She looked at it for a while and picked up her phone to check the time.

It's 8:30, time to take your medication.

She pulled over the small basket on the coffee table and pulled out the medicine box from it.

Just after opening the medicine box, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Starry frowned for a moment as she poured the medicine into her hand and just put it inside her mouth when the doorbell rang once more.

She took a quick sip of water, swallowed the medicine inside her mouth, and then got up and walked downstairs.

It's Filip.

"What's wrong?"

She opened the barricaded door, just took the medicine, one did not completely swallow, the bitter taste spread inside the mouth, Starry frowned, opened the door and turned to run upstairs.

Filip saw this, his face changed slightly, the door opened only a little, he sidled in and quickly followed Starry into the villa: "What happened to you?"

The medicine inside the mouth is too bitter, Starry did not speak, ran up to the second floor, grabbed a glass of water to drink the medicine completely swallowed.

But that medicine melted fast and her mouth was full of it, making her want to vomit a little.

Starry turned around again and went into the kitchen, took the bottle of honey out and poured it into the cup.

Filip looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Starry took a sip of honey water: "I just took my medicine and it didn't completely swallow, it melted inside my mouth."

When she finished, she took another sip of honey.

The sweet honey water finally washed away the taste of medicine inside her mouth, Starry then remembered Filip suddenly turned back: "How do you?"

Filip pointed to the jacket hitched to the couch, "I forgot to take it."

Starry looked back and handed him his jacket, "I forgot about that too."

"Hmm."

He took the jacket and swept his eyes across the coffee table, where the medicine box originally placed inside the small basket was sitting open on the coffee table. Dark eyes twitched, "You're not feeling well?"

"Small problem, you go back."

As she spoke, she felt the taste of medicine come back up inside her mouth.

Starry felt uncomfortable and even a little bit like throwing up.

She frowned a little and drank all the honey water inside the glass.

Filip looked at her for a moment: "Honey water can't be pressed, buy plums."

Starry waved his hand, "No, I'll just drink more."

Filip directly reached out and took the cup out of her hand, leaned over and put it on the coffee table, then pulled her wrist: "There's a plaza less than two kilometers away, it'll be quick." Starry was dragged downstairs by him and tried to remind Filip that her jacket was not on, but he was walking fast and she simply left it off.

Filip's car didn't drive in, it was parked at the trailhead.

When the two of them left the villa, he remembered that Starry was not wearing a jacket, Filip put his jacket on her body: "Walk faster, I'll send you back later."

Starry looked down at his slippers and was a little helpless, "Okay."
