Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 21

Eileen came out of the shower to find the room empty. She didn’t think much of it and went straight to blow–dry her hair and hit the hay

Not long after, Phyllis and Bblythe came back. Bblythe, seeing Eileen asleep, lowered her voice. To her surprise, Phyllis made quite a ruckus, especially when she closed the door Bblythe whispered, “Eileen is asleep”

Phyllis retorted. “Everyone’s at a meeting next door, and she’s sulking and sleeping here all by herself. She doesn’t respect me Why should I respect her?” Bblythe disagreed. “She was in the shower and probably didn’t hear you call her. I suggested calling her before we came back, but you didn’t agree.”

“I was in a meeting, and Bblythe you left as well. None of those guys would listen to me.”

“Enough already” Bblythe had a headache. “Keep it down and go to sleep.”

Eileen was actually awake at this time, just lying in bed.

After a while, the room lights turned off, and Eileen heard Bblythe, who was sleeping in the bed next to hers, lay down.

Then, the room’s door suddenly opened. Eileen opened her eyes and turned her head to see. Sure enough, Phyllis‘ bed was empty, and she was the one

who had left the room.

Phyllis was only gone for a few minutes, but when she came back, her mood was obviously better.

The next day, when Eileen got up at seven o’clock, she saw that the people next to her were still asleep. She got out of bed to wash up and then left the

room.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Egbert, wearing a black coat, coming out of the boys‘ room next door. The cameraman in the corridor followed them with his camera equipment.

Egbert, with his hands in his coat pockets, looked at Eileen and asked, “Breakfast?”

Eileen nodded slightly. You too?”

“Yes,” The man replied, heading towards the elevator, and pressing the down button. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Eileen stood next to him, waiting for the elevator with him. The elevator came down quickly, and they went to the restaurant on the first floor, where free sandwiches were provided in the morning. They got their sandwiches and two cups of free coffee and sat by the window to eat.

The cameraman was filming next to them. The two sitting by the window were exceptionally good– looking, and the aroma of coffee filled the air, creating a warm atmosphere that seemed plain yet beautiful amidst the bustling city.

Outside the floor–to–ceiling glass window, a few pedestrians hurried by on the street. The bustling metropolis was just waking up.

After breakfast, seeing that there was still plenty of time, Eileen didn’t go back upstairs but left the hotel.

After walking a few steps, she felt something was amiss behind her. She turned around and, sure enough, saw that Egbert had followed her out.

Eileen didn’t say anything, and the two of them strolled around in silence. Before long, they came across a watch shop nearby. The watch shop had just opened for the day, and the shop owner, a somewhat bald middle–aged man in an apron, greeted them warmly.

Eileen responded with a smile.

The watch shop had all kinds of clocks, from ordinary ones to classical luxury and cute fashion ones. Eileen stood in front of the window, looking at a pyramid–style clock inside.

The owner enthusiastically introduced it to her. This clock was a bit pricey, costing three hundred dollars. Hearing the price, Eileen gave a wry smile and shook her head. Even if the show allowed her to use her personal funds, she couldn’t afford it.

She only had the three hundred bucks that Ophelia lent her. Even if she sold herself, she couldn’t afford it.

“Do you like it?” Egbert suddenly asked next to her.

Eileen’s gaze was still on the clock, but she shook her head and said, “It’s okay”

Egbert began to scrutinize her.

They strolled around the hotel and passed by the watch shop again on their way back. Eileen looked at the window and found the pyramid clock was

gone.

“It sold out so quickly?” Eileen said with a bit of regret. “Business is good.”

Egbert looked at her and said, “If you like it, why didn’t you reserve it earlier?”

“Reserve it with what?”

“Reserve it and buy it after the show is over.”

Eileen looked at Egbert as if he was a rich fool, and after a while, she sighed deeply and said, “You don’t understand anything.”

At eleven o’clock, the others gradually woke up.

Once Phyllis had finished her makeup, she ran next door to check on Kenley Kenley was having his wound dressed by the show’s doctor. Because the wound was bleeding, the cameraman didn’t film the wound, only his handsome face with his eyes shut in pain.

There were a lot of sympathetic comments that instantly came through.

Phyllis was also feeling sympathetic and to show it, she ordered a luxurious breakfast at the hotel. This time, she spent thirty dollars straight away. “We’re going to rent a car and go sightseeing this afternoon.” Phyllis suddenly announced at lunch.
