Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 156

Eileen was so mortified. She really made a fool out of herself this time!

She wanted to explain to Ophelia what had happened.

But then Ophelia bellowed, “What kind of second-rate phone are you using? Eileen, what on earth are you doing? Who gave you permission to tweet from Egbert’s phone? Are you that desperate for everyone to know you two were together on Christmas? What’s your game here? You want the whole world to know?”

Eileen realized that Ophelia was genuinely pissed.

She was so livid she was starting to talk nonsense.

Eileen was afraid that Ophelia might want her thousand dollars back, so she quickly apologized, “Ophelia, I’ll change it right now. I’ll turn off the setting that shows the phone model, okay?”

“It’s too late! Everyone already knows!”

Ophelia was trembling with rage. All her hard work had been ruined by Eileen’s single tweet!

She calmed herself down and asked seriously, “Is Egbert with you?”

Eileen glanced at Egbert who was still leisurely sipping his soup and said, “Stop eating, we’ve got a situation.”

Egbert looked up at her.

Eileen turned on the phone’s speaker and nervously said, “Ophelia, you can speak now, he can hear you.”

Ophelia took a deep breath, explained the situation to Egbert, saying, “This incident is primarily Eileen’s fault, not yours, Mr. Reed. However, the public has already started.buzzing about you two having dinner together over Christmas which might lead to misunderstandings.”

Egbert put down his utensils and casually asked, “What do you need me to do?”

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll handle the online chatter. You just need to refrain from making any statements on your end.”

In other words, Egbert should stay out of it, keep mum, or else things could get worse and even obstruct their efforts to manage the public opinion?

Egbert glanced at Eileen.

Eileen was looking at him expectantly.

Egbert then said, “Alright.”

Hearing his agreement, Ophelia didn’t say much else. After scolding Eileen, she hung up.

It was supposed to be a merry Christmas, but this mess happened.

Eileen had lost her appetite.

She laid down her fork and got up despondently to wash the dishes.

As she was turning on the tap, Egbert came over, rolled up his sleeves and said, “Let me do it.”

Eileen gave him a look and moved aside.
