Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 102

Early morning.

Eileen showed up without makeup, phone in one hand, shopping bag in the other. As she made her way downstairs, she met her new assistant, Janice.

“You’re Janice, right?”

Janice, a short-haired girl, seemed nervous. She bowed respectfully. “Yes, I am Janice. Great meeting you, Eileen.”

“Hi.” Eileen got into the back seat of the business car and casually said, “Let’s go.”

Janice got into the driver’s seat right away.

Having been an assistant to other artists before, Janice was aware that many of them could be quite picky. So she drove very carefully.

“Pull over at the corner.”

After a while, Eileen from the back seat instructed.

“Sure.” Janice promptly parked the car at the side of the road. Looking back, she asked, “Eileen, do you need to buy anything?”

“Mhm.” Eileen opened the car door, and as she stepped out, she said, “I’m going to get groceries. This grocery store is having a promotion on fresh food today. Wait for me here.”

Janice was taken aback. And while she was still in a daze, her new boss, just got out of the car so casually with the shopping bag in hand.

“Wait a moment, Eileen!”

Eileen, now standing by the car, pulled out a mask from her pocket.

After putting on the mask, she saw that Janice had got out of the car too. Frowning, she said, “Stay in the car. We can't park here for too long. If you see a cop coming, drive off immediately. We can’t afford a ticket.”

Janice was dumbstruck, “I…”

At that moment, the traffic light changed.

Eileen hurriedly walked across the pedestrian crosswalk and went to the other side. Janice stood in place, spinning around anxiously. She wanted to follow Eileen, but was worried that leaving the car parked like that would indeed earn them a ticket.

So Janice fretted and waited for a good half hour until Eileen finally appeared. She breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that Eileen was carrying a large bag full of things. She immediately went over to offer help in carrying it.

Eileen stepped out of the way, saying, “You won't be able to carry this.”

Janice quickly reassured, “I can. I’m pretty strong, Eileen.”

Eileen gave in and handed over the bag. But when Janice tried to lift it, she almost dropped it.

Eileen quickly caught it, lifting the bag into the car with one hand, “Told you, you couldn't carry it.”

Janice was mortified, her face turning red. Once in the driver's seat, she couldn’t resist asking, “Eileen, what did you buy?”
