Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 106

Eileen had a hunch that Egbert might be coming to see her.

Having recently joined the film crew and just getting used to the new environment, she had already managed to get on the wrong side of the leading female actress. Egbert, being her senior and an acquaintance of hers, would most likely come in person and give a newbie like her some guidance.

Egbert held up the script, “I came to run lines with you.”

Eileen was a bit puzzled, “Just to run lines?”

Egbert responded, “What else would it be for?”

Eileen thought he didn’t seem to be lying. So she opened the door.
