Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Eileen was busy scheming 108 ways to pack her stuff when suddenly she felt a piercing gaze on her.

She turned her head in confusion.

It was Egbert.

She frowned and asked, “Why are you eyeballing me? Just so you know, even if I can’t fit all this stuff, I’m not sharing with you.”

Egbert chuckled softly, stood up and walked over to her.

He looked at the mess on the floor and asked, “Ever heard of the military packing method?”

Eileen was taken aback and looked up at him.

Egbert squatted down, emptied Eileen’s bag and started packing it anew.

As he was doing this, he explained, “When out on a mission, the logistics team ensures the supplies are packed to the brim and sorted

out.”

Eileen watched as he managed to fit the large items that she previously couldn’t into the bag. Her eyes widened with surprise.

A moment later, although many things still didn’t fit, her bag could now carry a third more than before.

And thanks to his systematic packing method, retrieving items was a breeze.

Eileen was surprised, “Didn’t expect you to be so handy, did you learn this on a movie set?”

Egbert looked at her, paused for a moment, and then said, “I learned it at a military academy.”

Eileen was stunned, “You attended a military academy?”

Egbert averted his gaze, “Someone in my family did.”

Eileen looked at him for a moment, then at her bulging bag, and nodded approvingly, “Pretty good.”

It was unclear whether she was praising his packing skills or the military academy.

Egbert added, “Go get some rest. I’ll take first watch.”

Eileen scoffed, “No need, you go sleep. I’ll wait for Burton to take over later.”

Suddenly, Egbert stood up, took Eileen’s hand and helped her up.

Eileen, taken by surprise, swayed a little…
