Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 128

“Wow!”

The audience was suddenly all hyped up!

The host, trembling with excitement, asked, “So, you never ever contradict her? Is that true?”

Egbert chuckled lightly with his gaze still fixed on Eileen.

The host, taking a deep breath, turned to Eileen. “Ms. Lopez, if I may ask, what’s your relationship with Mr. Reed?”

Eileen picked up the microphone and coolly replied, “I’m his boss.”

Seeing everyone fall silent, Eileen continued, “If anyone bullies him, I’ll step in and protect him. I also take him to collect his winnings, so being his boss shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Egbert calmly said, “Let’s move on to the next segment.”

The host stammered, trying to guide Egbert to his seat. Suddenly, he received a notification from the director through his earpiece. “Put Egbert in the judges’ seat. We paid him 500,000 for his appearance. He should be on camera more!”

The host felt awkward, turned off his microphone and whispered into his earpiece, “Director, isn’t that inappropriate? The four coach seats were specially made, we can’t just add one.”
