Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 127

Just like that, a week of practice time flew by.

The Sunday performance arrived on schedule. First thing Sunday morning, the 80 progressing students and 15 celebrity coach team members started getting their makeup done.

Due to the limited space in the makeup room, the makeup artists brought their kits and went to each practice room to do the girls’ makeup.

Before the makeup artists arrived, Eileen asked her team members to rehearse once more. In the middle of their practice, a staff member with a notebook came up to ask, “Ms. Lopez, is the cheering guest definitely coming?

Eileen walked to the door and answered, “Yeah, he just messaged me. He’s at the airport, he’ll be here within an hour at the latest.”

The staff member handed her the notebook and pen. “Could you help sign here, write his name in this box, and his appearance fee at the back.”

Eileen wrote down Egbert’s name in the front box. But when it came to the appearance fee, she paused and said, “I don’t know how much his appearance fee is.”

The staff member turned her head to look at the name she wrote.

Upon seeing the name, the staff member froze!

There was silence for a moment. Then, the staff member jokingly said in a helpless tone, “Ms. Lopez, you can’t just write anything you want.”

Eileen was a bit confused. “What did I write wrong?”

The staff member said, “Seriously, who did you invite? I have an eraser here, correct it.

Eileen didn’t take the eraser, she felt confused. “I didn’t write it wrong.”

As she spoke, Eileen pulled out her phone from her pocket, dialed Egbert, and put it on speaker. The call was picked up quickly.

“Hello.” A deep male voice came through.

Eileen asked, “How much is your appearance fee?”

The person on the other end seemed to pause before saying,
