The Boss Went Crazy After Divorce

Obviously, Edward didn’t expect to hear that answer, so his anger soon turned into surprise.

Edward had known more or less why Starry had chosen to marry Filip.

But back then, he had been just some junior high student, without getting a say at all.

Five years since then, he had become a grown-up. Edward bit his bottom lip, and faltered a while. “Starry, my brother would like you to be happy.”

Speaking of Sebastian, Starry lost her attention until after a while she came back to herself and said impassively, “OK.”

“Is there anything else you wanna say?”

Edward stared at her with his mouth half-opened, but eventually swallowed his words down. “Well, no.”

In fact, he had intended to say that he hoped that she would be happy.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

But he failed to say it.

Casting another glance at her, Edward left the study silently.

With Starry and Filip’s divorce, Edward’s first girlfriend Lucia had become the center of people’s discussion, saying that she would become the next Mrs. Pearson.

Lucia returned to the country with a very clear intention, unlike five years before, when Filip and Starry had got married, she had had no chance to even react.

Since they had divorced, Lucia would not be as passive.

Everybody was saying that she was the reason for their split.

So it would naturally make Lucia hold the same thought.

But since her return, Filip had only acted like a business partner and nothing more.

After repressing herself for several days, she finally couldn’t help but ask him before he was leaving, “Filip, would you like to have dinner with me together tonight?”

Filip gave her an indifferent look with extreme coldness in his eyes. “I’m available tonight.”

Undaunted, Lucia continued to ask, “What about tomorrow night?”

After that, she realized that she seemed too desperate, and brushed her hair with her hand, adding unnecessarily, “Just forget it if you won’t be available too. It’s just that I’ve been back for over a month, and we just haven’t hung out and caught up.”

Filip didn’t think he had anything to catch up on with her. “Let’s do it some other time.”

Instead of an outright refusal, he saved her some face.

Lucia’s face darkened. She then said with a forced smile, “OK, then.”

Filip walked straight out of the booth after a nod to her.

Just when he came out of the booth, he saw the face of someone familiar. It was Starry, whom he hadn’t seen since the divorce half a month before.

Feeling that she was stared at, she slightly tilted her head, and saw Filip. With a little twist in her eyebrows, she naturally turned her eyesight back, as if she had seen nothing, and followed Catherine into an adjoining booth.

Starry was there for the copyrights issues of Only Moon Can Tell, which had ended for three years, during which several companies had approached her about selling the rights, but all had been rejected.

Shining Stars Entertainment showed great sincerity with the offer of five million dollars plus certain percentage for every copy sold, and she would be hired as chef editor.

Catherine also thought it was a good offer, so she had fixed for them to meet that day.

There was a car accident on Starry’s way over, so they were twenty minutes late. When she and Catherine came into the booth, the representatives of Shining Stars Entertainment were already there.

Starry spotted Wyatt Matthews the minute she walked into the booth.

Catherine was also surprised to see the presence of the heir of the company, which meant that they took the deal very seriously.

As an experienced business negotiator, Catherine soon came out of her surprise and came forward, apologizing, “We are so sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Berry. We ran into some accident on the way over.”

Mr. Berry soon waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it, Miss Kelly, things happen.”

The manager Mr. Berry then took a look at Wyatt for directive, before he turned to Starry, “Ms. Bradley, you are hungry, I guess? Let’s eat first, shall we?”

Starry smiled. “You two have waited so long, so let’s do what you say.”

With that, a menu was handed to her.

Starry looked at Wyatt and said, “Thank you, Mr. Matthews.”

“My pleasure.”

Starry was dressed in a white high collar sweater, which made her look mild and sweet.

Her makeup was very light, and her beautiful eyes look peaceful. She didn’t look like a woman who had just been abandoned by Filip.

Wyatt raised his eyebrow and then turned away his eyes, thinking that the Starry was much prettier and smarter than as the rumors went.

As someone who worked in the show business, Catherine was able to keep up with any kind of talks, so the meal was finished in a harmonious atmosphere.

They cut right to the chase after the meal.

Mr. Berry presented the contract to Starry. “Mrs. Bradley, please take a look at the contract. It’s made as we have agreed. According to Mr. Matthews, we will give preference to any candidates recommended by you for the casting.”

Obviously, the term was improvised, whose purpose was also clear.

It had only been a short while since the rumor about Starry’s affair with Edward took the social media by storm. Despite the disproof, the shrewd old foxes were still able to discern their unusual relationship.

Even if they were not lovers, they were very close.

The reason why they added the term that was to offer Edward a role to play.

Mr. Berry believed that no other company could make such a generous offer.

Catherine was surprised to hear that and looked at Starry spontaneously.

She dared not make the decision on Starry’s behalf. But if she had been Starry, the contract would have been signed right away.

The fact that the company would pay so much for the copyrights meant that they would squander on the adapted show, which if Edward could even costar in it, it would be a very profitable deal.

Starlight’s books were known as the guarantee of high rank in the ratings. Starry had written five books during her career, every one of which had become a bestseller and three had been adapted for television.

Audience base and market outweighed any regular authors.

Starry had only been stupid over things about Filip. She was smart enough to know why they offer such a juicy deal.

Edward was one of the most popular stars, so if he could star in the show, the ratings would only be boosted.

It’s really a win-win deal, not some charity shown by the company.

Starry was poised compared to Catherine. “Mr. Matthews, mind if I go through the contract first?”

Wyatt raised his eyebrow and said, “Of course not, please go ahead. But it may take some time. Shall we call it a day in case Mrs. Bradley is busy this afternoon?”

Wyatt was also clever. Starry lifted the corner of her mouth, and closed the papers. “Sure.”

After exchanging some pleasantries, Starry and Catherine left the booth before them.

Coincidentally, they ran into Lucia who was also coming out of a booth.
