Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 102 He's Not My Boyfriend

Filip automatically sat upright and didn't push Starry who was leaning away.

Her head got a place to lean against so she moved a little to change the position. She was sleeping so

deep that she didn't move anymore.

Her eyes were closed this whole time.

Filip looked down at Starry who laid her head on his shoulder. Her cheeks blushed scarlet, probably

due to the fever.

His eyebrow moved a little and then he looked at her IV bag.

There was more than half a bag of liquid left, which would take more than one hour.

Filip took out his phone and checked the time. And he saw Austin was sitting opposite him after raising

his head.

Austin was staring at his boss Filip and Starry. But then he sat on his side and pretended to be asleep

as he had met Filip's eyes.

It was a huge transfusion room so they sat quite far away from each other. Filip actually couldn't see Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Austin's expression and he barely recognized him.

But Austin's eyes were closed tightly with a guilty look on his face.

Austin's friend was looking at him and found it funny, "Why are you so nervous? There are like fifty feet

between you two. He doesn't know whether you are sleeping or not."

Austin thought his words made sense so he slightly opened his eyes and took a glance at Filip and

Starry.

Austin's friend was also staring at them and was curious, "Didn't you say that they broke up peacefully?

It doesn't look peaceful to me. Your boss seems that he still has feelings for her."

Austin pressed his lips, "Honestly, I think so, too."

He had the idea in the first place that Filip still cared about Starry. And he tried to persuade him when

they were getting a divorce but he was just a secretary and what he said didn't count, which, moreover,

could even annoy Filip.

Austin took a sigh and felt sorry for himself.

It was hard to work for a boss like Filip.

Starry had a bad dream.

She struggled to wake up. After opening her eyes and getting hurt by the garish light, she realized that

it was just a dream.

Starry was dumbfounded as her hand was pressed so she turned around to see who was doing this.

It took her by surprise when she saw the man's face, "Filip?"

"If you move again, your blood will do backward."

Starry looked down and found out that the needle on her hand had moved.

She just woke up so her mouth was dry. And she was about to take the half glass of water next to her.

Her wrist was grabbed by Filip when she was about to drink it, "Aren't you having a cold? The water got

cold already."

Starry looked at him, "So?"

Her voice was hoarse which suggested that her throat was dry.

Filip didn't reply, he loosened her wrist and took the water away.

Starry frowned as her mouth was really dry but she was having IV so she couldn't go to fill her glass.

She looked around and no one could help her.

Then she decided to wait for the nurse and ask her to help when she came to change the IV bag.

Starry raised her hand to feel her forehead. She was confused considering she felt hotter after taking

the IV.

She was uncomfortable due to the fever and there were cold sweats on her forehead as she was

having a nightmare.

Then she took a tissue from her purse, wiped her forehead, and saw Filip walking back.

And there was a glass of water in his hand.

Starry asked, "Is this for me?"

"Am I the one who is having a fever?"

Starry took over the water and said thanks.

Her throat felt better after drinking it.

She was drinking it with her head down and soon it was out.

Then Starry suddenly realized something, "Are you sick, too?"

Filip took a look at her whose gaze was unfocused due to the fever.

He pointed at Austin sitting opposite them, "Austin's sick."

Starry looked at the direction where Filip pointed and found that Austin was there.

"Well."

She replied and didn't say anything more.

"Where's your boyfriend?"

Hearing his cold voice, Starry raised her eyes at him, "I don't have a boyfriend."

Starry actually had no need to explain it but she didn't enjoy the way Filip looked at her.

He had always ignored her in their five-year marriage, not to mention caring about her.

Starry frowned at this thought.

Filip didn't seem to be the kind of boss who would come to the hospital with his secretary. Besides, how

could he have time as the CEO of the Eternal Group?

But she didn't want to overthink it as it was meaningless.

Hearing her words, his lips moved and were about to say something but he didn't when she looked at

her face.

Starry closed her eyes again and leaned to another side. And she seemed to be asleep.

Filip just sat there as nobody cared about him.

He took a glance at Austin but didn't come to him.

Austin was having fun staring at them and got frightened when Filip looked over.

Austin's friend said, "Now I see, your boss hasn't moved on."

Austin was afraid that Filip would look over again so he didn't dare to move, but thought, "That's true.

They've been divorced for over a year. Starry has already moved on but it seems that he hasn't."

Starry didn't sleep as she just saw the IV was almost done.

But Filip was sitting next to her and she didn't want to talk to him so she just pretended to sleep.

After a while, she reopened her eyes and looked at the IV bag.

It was almost done so she pressed the button to call over the nurse.

Filip hadn't left, he just sat by her and checked his phone.

Starry turned around at him, "Don't you have work to do?"

"Not much."

Filip then raised his head at her, "You think I'm here to be with you?"

Starry shook her head, "No."

She was not a narcissist.

Filip hummed, "There are no empty seats there."

These words explained why he was sitting next to Starry instead of Austin.

But it was his right to sit anywhere.

At this time, the nurse came with a disinfectant cotton stick. She saw a cute guy sitting next to Starry

and thought they were a perfect match.

The nurse asked out of curiosity, "Is he your boyfriend? Let him get you some water. You need this."

Starry took a glance at Filip but he acted like he didn't hear what the nurse said.

"He's not my boyfriend."

The nurse took another glance at Filip, "Well, let your friend get you some water."

The nurse then changed the IV bag and left.
