Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 153

That day, Eileen never managed to find out the name of Egbert’s fiancé.

Shining Star, ever since its debut, has been riding a wave of popularity.

After airing three episodes, the filming of the show was nearing its end.

On one particular Sunday, all the recording work for Shining Star was finished.

After the crew disbanded, Eileen was removing her makeup when Karin unexpectedly walked over.

‘Ms. Lopez,” Karin said, looking at Eileen a bit reluctantly, “Christmas is the day after tomorrow.”

“Yeah, time flies,” Eileen responded while removing her makeup. “Luckily, we finished all the recording before Christmas. You guys can go home and spend the holiday with your parents.”

Pouting, Karin said, “I’m flying back to the US with my father tonight…”

Eileen, remembering that Karin’s family lives abroad, said, “That’s good.”.

Karin looked at Eileen a bit unhappily.

She held onto Eileen’s sleeve and asked, “Ms. Lopez, what about you? Will you be going home to spend Christmas with your family?”

Eileen paused, then answered, “Yes.”

Karin seemed a bit unhappy.

Eileen continued, “But I can’t spend Christmas Eve with them because the cemetery closes at six in the evening.”

Karin was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

Eileen continued to remove her makeup, adding, “My family is in the cemetery, my dad, my grandpa, my grandma, they’re all there. But I can only visit them during the day, I can’t stay with them for Christmas.”

Karin was shocked and her mouth fell open.

After a while, she tried to say something.

“Ms. Lopez!” a crew member suddenly called out. “There’s a dinner tonight, are you coming?”

Eileen immediately answered, “Yeah, count me in!”

The crew member then asked, “Are you bringing Janice?”
