Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 112

Elsewhere, in Teresa’s room.

With a loud smack, Teresa’s palm harshly struck her assistant’s face.

The assistant covered her slapped cheek, shivering with fright.

Teresa shouted angrily. “Why didn’t you delete the photo?”

The assistant cried as she explained. “Teresa, I did delete it!”

“Deleted it? Then how did Egbert find it in your phone?”

The assistant shook her head desperately. “I don’t know; I really don’t know…”

“Incompetent!” Teresa screamed and slapped her assistant again.

The assistant didn’t fight back; she only began sobbing quietly.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.

Teresa saw the caller ID and promptly answered. “Aurora, you finally called. Tell me, how should we handle this now?”

Teresa and Aurora talked for nearly ten minutes.

After hanging up, Teresa’s expression visibly improved.

The assistant quickly asked. “Teresa, what happened?”

Teresa glanced at her and snorted. “You’re lucky; Aurora went to beg Mr. Chad for help.”

The assistant asked in surprise. “Mr. Chad?”

Teresa laughed. “Aurora really has her ways. Mr. Chad values Aurora a lot. To get her, Mr. Chad spent a whopping ten million on breach of contract and signing fees. Looks like we’ll be welcoming a new boss lady soon.”

The assistant sighed in relief. “I heard Mr. Chad has been pursuing Aurora.”

Teresa nodded. “It’s not surprising that Mr. Chad would like Aurora; she’s the only one from our country who has been nominated for an Oscar.”

Chad Lopez was having dinner with Blake Lopez when he received a call from Aurora.

He casually hung up, then turned to Blake across the table. “So, the DNA test results are in. Eileen is our sister, right?”

“Yes.” Blake ate a piece of fish and took a sip of water before replying. “Genetic similarity, 99.99%.”

Chad pursed his lips. “Actually, I’ve met her before.”

Blake was taken aback.

Chad continued. “I thought she looked familiar, so I wanted to do a DNA test, but Sawyer messed up my plans with his nonsense.”

Blake frowned. “Sawyer met her too?”

Chad snorted. “More than that, he even fell for her and wants to pursue her.”

Blake was so shocked that he slammed his fork on the table.

Chad, always one for a good show, added. “Simon is even worse; he acted in a movie with her, playing her love interest.”

“Ridiculous!” Blake was genuinely angry.

He picked up his phone, ready to make a call.

Chad stopped him, suggesting. “No use scolding them now. Do it in person; you might as well give them a good beating too.”

Blake grumbled. “They’re all so spoiled!”

Just then, Chad’s phone rang again. It was still Aurora.

Chad declined her call immediately.

Blake glanced at him. “Business?”

Chad shook his head. “Aurora. You remember her, right?”

Blake thought for a moment, indicating he had no recollection.

“Remember the actress who was nominated for an Oscar with Egbert? There were rumors that they were a perfect match and childhood sweethearts. I was afraid they’d really get together, so I signed her to my company and had someone keep an eye on her.”

Blake seemed to have no memory of this; he shook his head. “I don’t care about other people’s affairs, but you’re the only one familiar with the entertainment industry in our family. You need to help in areas we can’t cover. I asked Loule to offer Eileen a lead role in a movie, but she didn’t take it and chose to play a supporting role instead. You need to think of a solution.

“Okay.” Chad replied after a moment of silence. “I’ll check which movie she’s acting in.”

Blake continued. “Resources are important, but what’s more important is not to scare her. Egbert is right; we need to let her adjust slowly, we can’t rush things or let her have a bad impression of us.”

Chad nodded, “I know what to do.”

That night, after Chad found out, he video-called Egbert.

Egbert and Chad chatted for a while when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Chad asked in surprise. “Who’s looking for you this late?*

Egbert didn’t answer and got up to open the door.

Outside the room, Eileen was in her pajamas with her script in hand. After seeing that the door was open, she walked straight in.

Chad saw Eileen in the video and was very surprised.

Eileen turned to talk to Egbert, saw that he was on his phone, and said kindly. “Are you busy? Finish up; I’ll wait for you in bed”

Egbert and Chad were left speechless.

Egbert tried to suppress his laughter. He paused for a moment, then looked at Chad, who appeared awkward in the video, and explained. “It’s not what you think.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

A few minutes later, Egbert hung up.

He looked up to see Eileen, who had taken off her shoes and was sitting on his white double bed, waiting for him with her script still in her hand. Her damp hair was draped over her shoulders.

“Finished your call?” Eileen noticed Egbert had hung up and asked casually. “Have you read this part of the script?”

Egbert stood up and walked towards her, saying, “Yes.”

Eileen put the script aside. “Then let’s start.”

With that, she lifted the covers and crawled into his bed.

This scene was after Joyce and Palmer’s one-night stand.

In the morning, Joyce was still asleep, but Palmer was awake.

He no longer felt the effects of the alcohol from the night before, but impulsively, he moved closer to the woman beside him.

After Eileen got into the covers, she lay down, pretending to sleep.

After a while, she heard a rustling sound, indicating Egbert was there.

Moments later, she felt her cheek being gently stroked by a warm hand.

“Stop.” Eileen frowned. She opened her eyes to look at the man with deep eyes right in front of her. She said unhappily. “Touching my face is a sign of sympathy; the script doesn’t have this move; haven’t you read the script?”

Egbert didn’t answer and just quietly withdrew his hand..

Eileen threw off the covers, patting her waist. “Touch here.”

Egbert’s gaze then shifted downwards to her slender waist.

“Again.”

Eileen closed her eyes once more.

After a while, she felt her waist being held.

Then she felt a warm body moving close to her.

By now, Joyce should be awake. Therefore, Eileen slowly opened her eyes.

She saw the man in front of her, who was looking at her with calm and clear eyes.

She began to say her lines. “Palmer…”

Before she could finish, Egbert suddenly gripped her chin and fiercely kissed her lips.

“Stop!” Eileen yelled.

She said with dissatisfaction. “You’re supposed to just lightly touch me. How can we make a good scene like this?”

Egbert took a deep breath. He didn’t say anything, lowered his head, and their lips met again.

This contact was somewhat unbearable.

Eileen finally understood why the director always said that Egbert was too slow to get into character.

JF BI JI

He really was too slow; he was basically dragging his feet.

Luckily, this time he finally got into it.

His breath was very passionate.

Eileen’s eyes opened a bit dazedly.

Egbert held her firmly in his arms.

Then his right hand began to stroke her hair.
