Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 23 Just an Accident

Lucia's exclamation made everyone around look at Starry.

Everyone saw that the button on the back of her dress suddenly fell off. After the button fell, the line on

the back of the dress suddenly stretched, and the whole dress went down with a "pop".

Starry reacted and put her arm behind her, but her other hand was holding the cake and she didn't

have time to make a full circle, revealing a large piece of her beautiful back.

Filip frowned and stepped offstage, but Wyatt was faster than him.

Wyatt took off his suit jacket and covered it on Starry, then reached out and took the cake that Starry

was holding and asked, "Are you alright?"

Starry gave him a grateful look, "Thanks."

She gripped hold of the jacket, and the garment was clinging to her body, and she could clearly feel a

large area of skin exposed on her back.

Wyatt put the cake on the waiter's tray, "Shall I take you to the dressing room?"

There is a dressing room on the third floor, just to prevent such an accident from happening.

The back of the gown was already torn apart, and it would be inappropriate if she continued to wear it,

so she didn't reject Wyatt's offer.

Filip came over from the stage, glanced at Starry, then glanced at Wyatt, and finally looked at Austin

behind him, "Take Ms. Bradley to the dressing room."

Austin hurried forward, "Ms. Bradley, please come this way."

When Wyatt saw this, he didn't follow.

Starry glanced at Lucia on stage before leaving.

Lucia on the stage was also staring at her. Seeing Starry look over, the smile on Lucia's face froze, but

it quickly recovered.

Seeing this, Izabella also ran off the stage and ran to Starry, "Little Starry, what's going on?"

She heard Lucia's cry just now and thought Starry had fallen, and her face was pale with fright.

But when she was looking back, the situation was not much better.

She was standing so far away at that time that she could only watch her gown torn apart.

Although in modern society, showing one's back is nothing.

But they were at Frances's birthday party and her dress was supposed to be decent and elegant. No

matter how beautiful it was before, it was also a breach of etiquette on this occasion.

"It's ok, maybe the quality of the dress is not very good."

Izabella didn't believe it, "Isn't the dress custom-made?"

Starry said yes and nothing more.

Izabella gritted her teeth, "This must have something to do with that Lucia! I'll go to Frances!"

Hearing her words, Starry stopped her, "Izabella, no."

"You can take it, but I can't. It's unacceptable!"

Starry smiled helplessly, "Come on. Let's not upset the old lady."

She has been Mrs. Pearson for five years, so she naturally knows that Frances cares so much about

decency.

Tonight, she could accept her losing face and it was nothing.

But if she was really serious about it, this birthday party tonight would not end well.

Izabella looked at her casual look, and for a moment, she didn't know if Starry was angry or if she really

didn't care.

But this kind of trick is too low.

Guests who came tonight to Frances's birthday party were more or less people of status in Araria City.

There would be more rumors about Starry with something like this happened tonight.

The two were talking when Austin in front suddenly said, "Ms. Bradley, the dressing room is here."

Starry said thank you and walked in.

Izabella followed her in, there were a lot of dresses in it, she just picked the most beautiful one, "Little

Starry, this one! Lucia does this kind of thing, obviously thinking that you stole her limelight tonight, we

should do that again!"

Starry glanced at the dress, "It is too long."

As she spoke, she chose a simple pink dress, and then entered the fitting room beside her.

Izabella sighed and sat on the sofa, thinking that Starry was too easy-going.

Austin went back to Filip, thinking the same.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Seeing him come back, Filip asked, "How is she?"

"Ms. Baxter went in with her."

Austin said, hesitating for a moment, "Mr. Pearson, there is something I don't know if I should say or

not."

Filip tilted his head and glanced at him, "Just spit it out."

Austin smirked, "When I took Ms. Bradley to the dressing room just now, I heard the conversation

between Ms. Bradley and Ms. Baxter. This matter seems to have something to do with Ms. Scott."

Filip frowned, "Lucia?"

Austin recounted the conversation between Starry and Ms. Baxter just now, and Filip took a sip of wine,

"When did you have a hobby of eavesdropping on other people's chats?"

Austin was innocent, "I... overheard it."

Filip snorted coldly, "I see."

Austin didn't say anything more and left wisely.

Starry soon changed into a long dress, and she looked good in everything she wore.

The simple pink long dress makes her face look like a peach blossom, pure and moving.

Her hair has been reworked by Izabella. Compared with the graceful dress, this pink dress is more

elegant and charming with a bit cuter.

Frances came to Starry with the help of Martha, "What happened?"

Frances's face twitched, obviously a little irritated.

Starry bent her lips and responded, "It's nothing. Maybe my new tailor wasn't careful with the stitches."

"So careless that your whole back has been exposed?"

Only a fool would believe this!

Starry pursed her lips and said no more. Izabella, who was beside her, couldn't help but say, "That's

right. How could a haute couture dress suddenly fall apart with no reason?"

The Frances hated other people playing these unseemly tricks the most. "Don't worry, you came to

celebrate my birthday today. I'll let Filip find out the truth!"

Frances said, "Filip!"

Filip on the side nodded, "Got it, grandma."

"No need, Frances, it's just an accident."

Starry was still smiling, as if what had just happened did not affect her.

Frances looked at her, "Really?"

"I came here because I want you to be happy. You don't have to be worried about such a trivial matter.

If I make you upset again because of it, I might as well not come here in the first place."

It has to be said, Starry always knows the right thing to say.

When Frances heard these words, she was touched and sighed, "Alright then. Thank you for your

consideration."

Lucia, who was not far away, was slightly relieved when she heard the words of Frances.

She breathed a sigh of relief but when she looked up, she found Starry was staring at her.

Not to be outdone, Lucia met her gaze. Starry narrowed her eyes and looked down at the buttons in

her hands.

Quite smart.
