The Boss Went Crazy After Divorce

Chapter 36 You Got in My Way, Lucia



It was still bitterly cold in Araria City. And it was during rush hour when Starry got out, cars were stuck for half hour in a traffic jam downtown with poor road conditions as it was raining.

It was 6:30 pm when she arrived at the Dapper Star.

It looked cold outside the car with the rain and the dark night.

Starry fixed the scarf on her neck and then got off the car with an umbrella.

Soon she stepped on a puddle which made a water splash and it left a stain on her leather boots.

Starry lowered her head at her boots, held tightly at the umbrella, and then went on walking towards the Dapper Star.

Wyatt did have good taste. The Dapper Star looked like a royal palace and people would feel like they were in medieval times.

Starry closed her umbrella and went upstairs to the box after several turns at the hall with the waiter.

“Ms. Bradley, Mr. Matthews is in there.”

The waiter pointed at the umbrella holder as he said, “Ms. Bradley, you can put your umbrella in here.”

Starry turned around and saw an exquisite umbrella holder at the side of the door.

She put her umbrella in and then walked into the box.

“I’m coming.”

She smelled a great smell of coffee when she walked in.

Starry saw Wyatt having coffee through the screen.

She walked over and said, “Sorry, Mr. Matthews. I got stuck on the road.”

“I understand.”

Wyatt took a look at her. Starry dressed quite cozy on such a cold day.

She got a scarf, hat, and gloves. It was cold on a rainy day and her pale yet red face by coldness looked rather brittle.

“Sorry for letting you out in this weather.”

He poured her a cup of coffee as he said, “This should warm you up.”

“Thanks.”

Starry took off her scarf and took a sip of the coffee as there was heat in the room.

Wyatt then passed her the food menu, “What you’d like to eat?”

She took the menu and ordered two specials.

Then Wyatt added two dishes and one soup. After the waiter took the menu out, there were just two of them.

The wind flowing through the window was quite dissimilar from the heat inside.

Starry looked outside and saw those decorations downstairs which would look better if it was snowing.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Seeing her like this, Wyatt smiled, “It would look better in the daytime and you’ll like it.”

Hearing his words, Starry turned around at him, “You did choose a nice place.”

Her eyes moved as she said, “Mr. Matthews, I heard about what happened online. What do you need from me?”

Wyatt raised his eyebrows and looked at her flawless face, his index finger touching the coffee cup, “Did you do it?”

Starry stared at him, deadpan, “Do you think I did it?”

She threw the question back to him, which answered indirectly.

Wyatt looked at her and laughed, “Well, since you didn’t do it, then you and my company are both victims.”

Starry said with a slight smile, “So you wanted to see me today for what?”

Wyatt took a card out of his pocket, “I assume you might need legal advice. And I do have a lawyer friend, so…”

Wyatt obviously said it modestly because his lawyer friend wouldn’t be a bad one.

But Starry didn’t turn him down considering she did need a lawyer.

Starry took over the card and raised her eyebrows seeing the name on it, “Thank you, I’ll take it then.”

This was Bentley Wood who had never lost a case for seven years.

And he happened to be good at libel. Starry was planning to let Catherine ask about it.

Now that Wyatt had just given her his card, which was difficult for her to turn it down.

Wyatt thought she would refuse his help and he didn’t expect she would take it just like that.

He slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Starry, “This is not just about you. Our crew got implicated, too. So we’ll pay for your court costs.”

Hearing his words, Starry took in the card and said firmly, “No, you don’t have to. It’s my case.”

“Well, if you insist.”

Seeing that Starry was quite serious about this, Wyatt didn’t say anything more.

It was quite a joyful dinner. Starry wasn’t a talker but she would reply when Wyatt talked about something. And the dinner was over while they were chatting.

It was already dark outside at around eight. Starry took a look at Wyatt, “Thank you for tonight. And I should go back if there’s nothing else.”

She put her scarf on as she said it.

Wyatt was staring at her when she put her gloves on, the black velvet gloves slowly covered her slim fingers and the mole on her wrist.

It was quite a pleasant show when a beauty put her gloves on.

Wyatt took a glance at her and said, “Sure.”

He stood up as he said it.

Then Starry put her hat on and stood up with her purse.

She nodded at Wyatt and walked out of the box with her umbrella taken from the holder.

Starry walked along the hall and ran into Filip, Dillon, and Lucia at the first turn.

Lucia got closer to Filip when she saw Starry and said with an evil smile, “Starry, what a coincidence.”

Lucia took a glance at Wyatt who was walking behind Starry, “You seem to be in a good mood. Going out with Wyatt in this weather.”

Starry looked at Lucia indifferently, “Could you please move? You got in my way.”

The hall was three meters wide and Lucia, Dillon, and Filip had taken most of the part.

Starry could squeeze by but she could get Lucia wet with the umbrella in her hand which could get Starry in trouble with her.

She wouldn’t want that, so she had to ask.

Seeing that Starry didn’t answer her but said that she had got in her way, Lucia took a step back and looked toward Wyatt with an awkward expression, “I’m impressed. You are so fast…”

Wyatt looked at Lucia with a strange smile and said the same thing as Starry, “You got in my way, Lucia.”
