Chapter 29 An Encounter
Starry drove her car following Wyatt’s. She was driving slowly and there were soon several cars coming in between their cars.
Then at a crossing she was stopped by the traffic light while Wyatt’s car had already passed it.
Starry took out her phone and sent a message to Wyatt on Facebook.
Then suddenly she received a call from Catherine.
Starry looked up at the traffic light and then answered it, “It’s me.”
“How’s the casting, Little Starry?”
“Quite good.”
Catherine wasn’t trying to know what’s going on in the casting. She called her because Starry seemed to lose her vitality after she got divorced with Filip.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
She did make a lot of efforts to persuade Starry to attend today’s casting.
Catherine knew Starry didn’t like to get involved with people from entertainment circle so she was afraid that Starry would encounter something unhappy in the casting.
But Catherine didn’t sense anything wrong in her words so she continued, “Then is there anything interesting?”
Anything interesting?
Starry said smilingly, “There is. I’ll tell you later. I’m driving.”
Then she hung up the phone and passed the crossing.
Wyatt sent a location to her on Facebook and she soon arrived at the restaurant.
When she drove her car into the parking lots, Wyatt was already standing in front of the restaurant’s gate.
It was cold here in Araria city. Starry stacked up her scarf to protect her face from the freezing wind and then walked over to Wyatt.
Wyatt was in a white turtleneck sweater and a brown wind coat. Looking from afar, he looked quite a handsome gentleman from the 80s.
As Starry walked over to him, there was a woman asking for his Facebook.
She stopped to give him privacy and respect.
Wyatt saw her and then smiled at the girl before him, “Sorry, I don’t use Facebook.”
The girl looked a bit disappointed and she asked for his Twitter and Wyatt also said he didn’t use Twitter either.
The girl also saw Starry and knew why he declined. And then she walked away embarrassedly.
“Ms. Bradley.”
Wyatt walked over to Starry, who was checking her phone and looked upwards into his brown eyes and smiled, “I hope I didn’t disturb you, Mr. Matthews.”
“No, you didn’t. It’s very considerate of you, Ms. Bradley.”
Wyatt didn’t say he had declined the girl’s request and said, “I’m getting a bit hungry now. Let’s get into the restaurant.”
Starry put her phone back to her pocket and nodded, “Okay.”
The vegetarian restaurant was obviously targeted on wealthy people. The environment inside was quite good and the dishes served there looked delicate and tasted as good as meat dishes.
Just an hour ago Lilly was threatening Starry that she would ask Filip to deal with her. And they now met at the restaurant. What a coincidence!
When Filip and Lilly came in, dishes were already served on Starry’s table.
Starry didn’t saw them until Lilly was shouting loudly to Fillip how Starry treated her unfairly.
There was only a thin wall between their table, Starry on the left side and Filip on the right side.
Lilly was crying as she complaining to Filip. Now she performed even better thean she did during the casting.
Her words even gave Starry a better appetite.
Lilly had finished on the other side. Now she was waiting for Filip’s reply.
Wyatt raised his eyebrows as he heard Lilly’s words, “You can greet them if you like, Ms. Bradley.”
Starry put the knife and fork down and wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue, “No, I was afraid that I would spoil their appetite.”
Wyatt smiled, “You are more interesting than I thought, Ms. Bradley.”
Starry’s lips curved faintly upwards and took her purse, “Thank you, Mr. Matthews. I still got something to do this afternoon, see you later.”
Wyatt didn’t try to stop her and nodded, “See you.”
Starry stood up and then bumped into Lilly, who had also just left her seat.
“You didn’t bring your eyes with you, Starry?”
Starry looked at her and said, “What a coincidence, Ms. Pearson.”
Lilly was still in anger and she pulled Starry to her table instantly, “It’s her, Starry! It was because of her that I didn’t pass!”
Filip looked up at Starry and then at Lilly’s hand on Starry’s arm. He frowned, “Let her go.”
Florence was also with them and she had met Starry for several times. She knew Frances liked Starry. She pulled Lilly over to her and said, “Good to see you, Starry. Are you having lunch with your friend here?”
As she sounded quite friendly, Starry nodded, “I’ve finished and I’m leaving now. See you, Mrs. Pearson and Mr. Pearson.”
Lilly shouted as she heard Starry was going to leave, “Stop! I don’t allow you to leave!”
“Lilly!”
“I was scolded by Mr. Adams today because of her. My career is ruined! Mom!”
Starry was standing there seeing how Lilly was lying. She was eager to know what else she would say.
“I don’t believe it. Starry is a good person. Don’t say that again or I’ll take you back to Tepachula City.”
Lilly then turned to Filip, “I know you don’t like Starry. You must know how sinister she is!”
Starry smiled faintly, “He does know a lot about me.”
“Shut up, Lilly!”
Florence shouted angrily and then looked at Starry, “Please don’t take it to the heart, Starry. Lily was talking nonsense. Filip likes you.”
“Does he?”
Starry raised her eyebrows and stared at Filip, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve already got divorce with Mr. Pearson.”
She said softly as if she had never cared about the man.
Filip finally opened his mouth, “What have you done?”
“What have I done?”
Starry repeated his question.
Fillip fixed his eyes on her and said contemptuously, “What’s the point of finding fault with her?”
“Finding fault with her?”
Starry snorted and before she could say anything, someone appeared beside her, “Sorry, I could stand it anymore.”
