Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 45 What A Whore

Skyler's mind was all blank when she was dragged out of the chief editor's office.

She thought she finally had a chance to live a good life when she had gone viral and sold her book.

But it had just been days.

She suddenly had to pay a twenty million penalty now.

"What are you doing? Go beg Ms. Bradley when she hasn't gone far."

Skyler's editor had worked with her for almost four years so she really wanted the best for Skyler.

Getting nudged by her editor, Skyler finally came to sense, took a look at her editor, held her mouth,

and went to chase Starry.

Starry hadn't gone far.

The elevator of the building was slow so Starry and Bentley were still waiting.

Skyler ran toward them, "Starlight!"

Starry turned around at her with no expression, "Miss Rees, can I help you?"

"I... You... Can we talk about that?"

Skyler was frightened by the penalty of twenty million so she stuttered.

Hearing this, Starry said with a slight smile, "How exactly?"

Starry was a bit interested in what Skyler said.

Skyler sensed a shred of hope and then took out her phone, "I'll delete all my posts, I'll apologize to

you right now and return the money for the copyright..."

Skyler paused at this. She only got half of the copyright payment of six and a half million from the

website and she just bought a house the day before yesterday with it, so there was none left.

Skyler bit her lip, "I'll return the money for copyright as soon as possible. Could you just let the contract

go?"

Skyler was afraid that Starry wouldn't agree so she was looking at her while deleting the posts.

Starry just stared at her and didn't say anything.

Skyler had deleted all her posts about Starlight and was editing the apology post.

The elevator arrived and opened at this time.

Bentley walked in and then held the door for Starry.

Starry then said, "I thought I've made myself clear. Miss Rees, I'll deal with it one thing at a time."

Then she added, "Plus, you don't have to panic. Your copyright was represented by Quality Innovation

so it is their responsibility to pay."

Skyler just posted the apology when Starry walked into the elevator. Hearing Starry's words, Skyler

watched the elevator closed and she was confused if Starry was going for her or the business between

them.

Of course, Skyler was just confused for a little moment.

She soon realized that this was a set-up for her due to what happened online lately.

Lately...

It seemed that Skyler had thought of someone who could help her so she deleted the apology post and

found that number.

But the call failed because Lucia had blocked Skyler's number.

Skyler sank to the ground when she realized it.

Skyler had deleted all posts about Starlight and had posted an apology. Although she deleted that

apology post in half a minute some people still saw it online, which made another splash.

There was no actual conclusion about Starry's plagiarism but now Skyler had admitted it.

All people who had rooted for Skyler were doing the opposite.

The website Skyler had been working for broke down and there were millions of bad comments about

her and the topic of her had become a trend.

Catherine was relieved when she saw this and gave Edward his phone that she had been keeping for

him for the first time, "Guess Starry have fixed it for the first part."

Edward had been worried about this so he just took his phone and checked on Twitter when he heard

Catherine's words, he even forgot to eat.

After checking on Twitter, Edward finally had his lunch. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Starry and Bentley just parted ways after lunch.

Starry smiled and put her phone into her bag. Then she saw Dillon when she raised her head.

Starry had no feelings for Dillon. She didn't hate him but she also didn't like him.

Now that she had ended cooperation with Filip, Starry didn't want to be involved with anyone who had

any relationship with Filip.

"Starry!"

But Dillon didn't think that way, he came over after saying something to his friends.

Starry took a look at him, "Dillon."

"Are you alone? Have you had lunch yet?"

Dillon always acted like he knew everyone and he even didn't notice Starry's indifferent attitude.

"Yep."

Starry stopped in front of the elevator.

Dillon replied, "I just had my lunch, too. I heard that your new book is coming out. I guess you are not

busy lately."

Starry didn't reply and just stared at him with a smile.

Dillon got nervous by her staring so he touched his nose, "I said I would take you out to dinner last

time. How about a coffee now?"

"Dillon."

Starry looked at Dillon and frowned, "Me and Filip, we had a clean break up."

"I know. You deserve better."

"Thanks."

"That's okay. We all know that. Forget about Filip. We are friends, right? Can friends have coffee

together?"

Starry looked at him, "I don't think so."

She paused a little, "I know what you are thinking, but I don't wanna be involved with anyone around

Filip."

The elevator just arrived and opened. Starry nodded and walked in.

Dillon didn't catch up with her but watched the elevator closing and cursed Filip secretly.

"Dillon, what a coincidence!"

Dillion got more upset when she turned around and saw Kayla.

Kayla was Lucia's friend and not a good person, either.

Lucia's friends were all like her, mean and devious.

Dillon replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

He waved at her at then left.

Seeing Dillon leaving, Kayla curled her lips, "I really don't know what you all like about Starry."

She was standing a bit far from Dillon and Starry so she couldn't hear everything clearly but she did

hear that Dillon was asking her out.

Kayla videotaped them and sent the video to her chat group, and circled Lucia, "Lulu, see? What a

whore! Starry has laid her fingers on Dillon."

Kayla got increasingly irritated by Dillon's attitude just now so she posted the video on Instagram and

wrote, "I'm impressed by some woman's tricks."
