Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 18

Egbert was knocking on the door for over a minute, but there was no response from inside

Just as he was about to call Josiah to check if they had already left, the door suddenly swung open

Eileen emerged locking rather disheveled

Her appearance was a far cry from how she looked earlier when she was downstairs, back then, she had on a coat over a loose white long sleeved shirt and jeans

Now she had taken off her coat which was hanging off her arm. Two buttons on her while shirt were undone revealing her collatione

Furthermore, her usually composed face was slightly flushed

She was clearly not in her normal state

Egbert’s face instantly darkened, and his gaze shifted towards the interior of the room.

But Eileen blocked his view, muttered vaguely. “Kenley isn’t feeling well, he cant come along Lets get going With that she started to close the door

Egbert held the door open, looking at her coldly

Eileen swallowed hard, appearing somewhat flustered, “What are you doing?”

Seeing her reaction, Egbert’s expression became even more stem. His eyes locked on her unbuttoned shirt collar from his angle, he could even see a glimpse of her chest. He asked coldly. “Do you even know what work is?”

Eileen was puzzled, ‘What?”

“Dunng work hours, you should know how to differentiate between work and personal life is this how you’ve always been conducting yourself at work?”

His rebuke was so straightforward that Eileen bit her p in embarrassment it was the first time she had been scalded during a show

She pressed her lips together, warling to calm the situation. She didn’t care about apologizing anymom, muttered sulkuly. Fine, I was wrong, okay? Let’s just go”

“What about him? Egbert refused to let go of the door His megant fingers were still pressing against the door, clearly not intending to let her off the hook just yet.

Eleen was getting annoyed, 1 told you he’s not ferling well. What do you want?

Egbert scoffed, his handsome face appearing indifferent, Let me ask him what exactly is wrong” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

With that, he pushed past Eileen and opened the door wide

The room was in a state of chaos.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly

Egbert stood at the door, eyes coldly taking in the sight of the man lying on the floor covered in injuries and still bleeding from his head.

Kenley had passed out, his breathing shallow His hands were twisted in an unnatural position.

Realizing that the jig was up. Eileen turned to run

But she was caught by the collar

Egbert pulled her out and looked at her with a complicated expression, “What the hell happened?

Caught red-handed, Eileen seemed unfazed and defended herself. What what He started it first, said he wanted to play adult games, so I used my professional fighting skills and played a little adult smashing game with him. It’s not my fault he couldn’t take it. He bumped his head trying to dodge me i didn’t hit his head. His bleeding has nothing to do with me I just dislocated his hands”

Just dislocated his hands…

Eileen tried to make it sound justified but she faltered under Egberts piercing gaze, finally mumbling. “Okay, okay, and his legs too”

Egbert was speechless

“I can fix him up Eileen declared, walking back into the room and grabbing the unconscious Kenley’s hand.

Kenley who fainted, was suddenly awakened by the pain “Slop moving around. “Eileen looked at the terrified Kenley writhing around and stepped on his chest pinning him down. After a few movements, she didnt know if she had fixed Kanley’s limbs, but he had passed out again from the pain.

Egbert went silent

After putting his limbs back in place, Eileen stood up. Because it was too hot, she flapped her open collar to cool down, and looked at Egbert “Happy now?”

Egben was totally speechless

Egbert rubbed his face and said to Eileen with his eyes closed. “You go down first”

Eileen asked cautiously, “What about you?”

Egben glanced at her

Eileen bolted, “Til wait for you downstairs”

As soon as she finished speaking. Eileen disappeared.

Egbert sighed in the room. He walked over to the unconscious Kenley and gave him a couple of kicks

Kenley woke up groggily, only to see Egbert standing over him.

He was in a lot of pain, his face sticky When he reached up to touch his face, his hand came away covered in blood, and his head was throbbing

He finally remembered what had happened. His eyes filled with anger as he looked around, “Where’s that bitch?!”

Egbert remained expressionless, pulling up a chair to sit next to him

Eileen had gone upstairs alone, but not only had she failed to bring Kenley down, she had also lost Egbert.

Everyone was asking her what had happened.

Eileen was unusually flustered, evading their questions. “They’ll be down soon”

Josiah was confused, “Did something happen? Should we go upstairs to check?”

“No need, no need, Eileen quickly replied. They ll be down in a bit

Everyone thought her behavior was a bit strange

After waiting for a while only Egbert came down

Phyllis immediately asked. “Egbert, where’s Kenley?”

Egbert casually replied. “He said he’s not feeling well and wants to rest”

“Wasn’t he just fine?”

Eileen quickly interjected. It might be jet lag When I went up just now, he said he wasn’t feeling well. Let’s just get going, the production team will take care of him.”

With that he led the others out

Everyone always gave in to Eileen Seeing her leave although they were still quite womed about Kenley, they followed her out in the end.

They were taking a bus to the sightseeing spot. On the bus, Eileen liked to sit by herself and never enjoyed sharing a seat with anyone else. But this time, she unusually chose to sit next to Egbert

She asked softly. “How is he?”

Egbert glanced at her and replied. “He’s fine”

Eileen’s eyes bugged out. “So you’re saying there’s no problem with this? Did I not hit hard enough?”

Egbert looked at her and asked. “Were you hoping to hurt him?”

Eileen immediately shook her head

Egbert sighed, feeling a headache coming on again

Eileen muttered next to him, “Seems like I need to brush up on my fighting skills, look for another chance to spar with him, see what I’m made of.”

Egbert was speechless.
