Chapter 41
Sawyer was doubled over in pain, leaning heavily on his little brother He looked up at the stern faced girl in front of him
Eileen locked eyes with him, her gaze filled with defiance and coldness. Obviously, Sawyer had managed to lick her off even more this time
Seeing Sawyer’s silence, Eileen turned to Bartley and said, “You seem a bit smarter than him. Take good care of him. Even if I’m broke, I won’t let anyone trample on my dignity”
With that, she turned and left
The elevator doors closed behind her. Bartley turned to his brother and said in a low voice. “Forget it, she said she would avoid Mr. Reed. She doesn’t seem interested in getting involved in someone else’s mess. We should
“Enough!” Sawyer suddenly snapped.
Bartley lowered his head, “I know you’re mad, but we’re guys, there’s no need to…”
I’m going to pursue her Sawyer said
Bartley was speechless.
He thought he had misheard, hesitated and asked, “You mean, you’re going to run after her and beat her up?”
“No, I mean, I’m going to pursue her Sawyer repeated. He straightened up, rubbed his stomach, and said excitedly. “I really like her!”
Bartley touched his brother’s forehead, “Are you sick or something?”
Sawyer swatted his hand away and asked, “How old is she?”
Bartley thought for a moment, “Officially, she’s nineteen, same age as me.”
Sawyer smacked his lips. “A bit young” He was already twenty, “But that’s fine, we’re a decent match. Haven’t you noticed, she kind of looks like me. Maybe this is what they call ‘couple face?”
Bartley still thought his silly brother had been hit on the head, he kindly suggested. “Do you want to take some medicine?”
Eileen returned to her room, still seething with anger. At that moment, her phone on the bed beeped.
Eileen picked it up to see it was a group chat notification. She frowned and opened it, just in time to see a message go by.
Phyllis Hey, Lileen’s here? Who added her? I want to add her to my WhatsApp contacts:
Bblythe [Hmm? How did I get into this group? What kind of group is this?|
Josiah: [Phyllis set it up, said since we won’t be together for the next recording, she created a group to keep in touch]
Phyllis: [Yes, I made it, everyone are welcomed to invite other people. I was about to call to add Eileen and she showed up, did Josiah add her?]
Josiah: [Not me, I don’t have her account |
Bblythe: [Eileen, can I add you to my contact list?]
Egbert: I added her]
Phyllis: [Ha ha Egbert finally speaks [laughing emoji!!
Eileen silently watched the group chat history. She sat down on the bed and exited the group chat screen. She accepted their requests and then typed into the group: [You can save my contact information.]
Phyllis: Eileen, I really like you
Eileen: [Buzz off
Phyllis [I’m wounded]
Josiah [Can I save yours?]
Eileen, Phyllis, Bblythe and Egbert: [Try me
Josiah: [Sorry]
Phyllis: Egbert has learned to copy and paste, How interesting]
Egbert didn’t respond to this.
Phyllis: [By the way, I’m leaving now, so you guys should have a new teammate next term, right? Do you know who it is?]
Josiah I don’t know]
Bblythe [Hopefully someone who won’t give us any trouble] Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Phyllis: I hope it’s a handsome guy, because I’m still going to watch this show, I want to see handsome guys!]
Bblythe. [You forgot what Eileen said, who can be more handsome than Egbert? Isn’t Egbert awesome?]
Egbert, who was about to close the group chat, suddenly saw this message and was stunned.
Egbert [What?
Phyllis [@Egbert, Eileen said it. I thought other men were handsome, Eileen criticized me, her exact words were “Can he compare to Egbert? Isn’t Egbert enough?]
After sending this message, Phyllis didn’t see Egbert say anything else, but she didn’t mind and continued chatting with Bblythe and Josiah
12:12
Eileen just went to get a towel, when she came back her phone was full of messages. They chatted so much? She scrolled through the chat history and saw Phyllis and Bblythe recommending beauty products to each other, and Josiah occasionally posting pictures of the lovely breakfast his wife prepared
It seemed like idle chatter, Eileen exited the chat and was about to go to sleep early when she saw Egbert’s name at the top of her chat screen, with a message notification next to it.
Egbert had sent her a private message?
Eileen frowned, clicked open the chat. In the chat screen, a simple line of text stood out.
Egbert (Shall we leave together tomorrow?
Tomorrow was the day to go to Tokyo.
Eileen lay on her bed, quickly replied: [I’ve said it before. Our paths are different. Can’t you understand?]
After sending the message, there was a moment of silence on the other end, then the prompt Typing “appeared.
Eileen held her phone and waited. But she waited for one minute, two minutes. In the end, the prompt disappeared, and no new messages appeared in
the chat box.
Eileen chuckled, put her phone down, turned off the light, pulled up the blanket and prepared to sleep.
”
The next day, when Eileen arrived at the airport, it was only eight in the morning. She picked up her ticket, found a breakfast joint and ate something.
Boarding started at half past eight.
Eileen boarded the plane, only then did she start to check her seat number on the ticket. Upon looking, she was taken aback, was this a first-class seat?
All the plane rides she took before, arranged by the show team, were in economy class.
Eileen was filled with delight, it looked like the show team had struck gold, they even started dishing out first class tickets. This was her first time in first class in her entire life.
With a heart full of joy, Eileen headed towards first class, the flight attendant enthusiastically helped her find her seat. Just as she sat down, the person for the seat next to her came in
She casually took a glance, but then she was stunned. The person sitting next to her was none other than Egbert
The man didn’t seem to have noticed her, as his gaze never left his phone. As he sat down, his brow furrowed. It seemed that the contents of his phone were bothering him.
Then, he opened a chat and sent a voice message to the other side, “Follow the previous plan.”
Eileen stopped looking when she saw this, first class was a single room for each person. Eileen pressed a button and, suddenly, dividers rose from both sides, completely isolating her space.
“Wow!” Eileen couldn’t help exclaiming as she took in all the new and exciting things around her.
