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.

Eileen only left a crack in the door. She kept a wary eye on Egbert outside the door. If Egbert mentioned anything about Teresa, she’d slam the door shut in an

instant.

Egbert stood outside the door in a white thin sweater, script in hand. Seeing Eileen’s one eye peeking through, he quirked an eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you going to open the door?”

Eileen snapped back with a gruff tone, “What’s it to you?”

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.

Janice was also in the room and was utterly flustered at the sight of Egbert.

Eileen plunked down on the couch, pulling out her own script from her bag. Looking up, she saw Janice shyly approaching Egbert with a notebook for an autograph.
