Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 105

When Eileen got the call from the production crew of Eyes on the Rendezvous, it was a week later. At the time, she was pestering Ophelia to treat her to some fresh juice. The call from the crew went straight to the office. After Ophelia hung up, her look towards Eileen, which was originally annoyed, immediately changed as if she had seen gold. After hanging up the phone, Ophelia slammed her hand on the table and yelled out. "Go buy twenty cups of fresh grape juice for everyone in the office!"

Seeing Ophelia's sudden lottery-winning-like behaviour, Eileen quickly raised two fingers, anxiously shouting, "I want two cups!"

Ophelia, in an unusually good mood, kindly replied, "I'll get you two cups!"

Eileen quickly raised another finger, "Three cups!"

When Ophelia glared at her, Eileen awkwardly withdrew the last finger, whispering, "Okay then, just two."

Half a month later, Eileen joined the crew. After signing the contract, the crew sent all the scripts over. Eileen spent half a month at home memorising her lines, and only rushed to the filming location on the eve of the shoot. Eyes on the Rendezvous was being shot in a small town. When Eileen arrived, most of the other actors were already there. The accommodation arranged by the crew was a small inn in the town; although a bit simple, it was still clean.

As Janice was packing for Eileen, she suddenly said, "Eileen, I just saw Teresa." Teresa, the lead actress of the drama — Hertha, was the so-called "Best Actress" Teresa. She was older than Egbert. She was thirty this year, and Egbert was twenty-five. Eileen was the youngest at only nineteen.

"What happened?" Eileen asked casually.

Janice whispered, "She was yelling at her assistant. She said the room is not good and wanted to change rooms."

Eileen was puzzled, "Hasn't she been here for a few days?"

"Yeah, she has been here for a few days and hasn't complained before, but now she suddenly says there's a problem with the room and insists on moving to the room next to Egbert's."

Eileen raised her eyebrows, "Who's in the room next to Egbert?"

Janice said, "It's ours."

Eileen was taken aback. Janice added, "She didn't want to change before, but as soon as we moved in, she said she wanted to change rooms. Eileen, I think something is fishy."

Eileen furrowed her brows. At this moment, a few people suddenly came in from outside. Janice immediately stood behind Eileen and quietly complained, "That's Teresa's assistant." Eileen looked at the few people in front of her. Teresa's assistant, who was leading the group, seemed a bit cocky. He first scanned the room, then reluctantly nodded in approval, telling the staff, "This room will do. You see, Teresa only sleeps in rooms with south-facing windows. She only stayed in the previous room for two days and immediately felt uncomfortable. I guess this room is barely suitable." The staff felt awkward and bent down to negotiate with Eileen, "Eileen, is it okay for you to switch rooms with Teresa? Teresa is allergic to rooms facing north."

Allergic? Eileen sat on the single sofa, crossed her legs, and spread her hands, "Show me her medical records." Teresa's assistant didn't expect her to say that.

After a brief pause, he said, "I know you don't want to move, especially since your neighbour is Egbert, but we're all part of the same crew, and we should be considerate of each other. Teresa really has a special condition. Allergies are unavoidable. As for the medical records, sorry, I don't have it with me right now. Regardless, we have to ask Ms. Lopez to move out immediately. Teresa needs to move in as soon as possible."

Eileen gently bit her lip, looking at his arrogant attitude, and laughed, "I'm sorry, I don't want to move, because I have allergies too."

Teresa's assistant's expression changed, "What are you allergic to?"

Eileen said, "I'm allergic to stupid people."

"You…" Teresa's assistant was so angry. Then he said to the staff, "If anything happens to Teresa's health that affects the shooting, it will be the crew's loss."

Eileen couldn't help but laugh out loud, clapping for him on the spot, "Wow, so impressive. The shooting hasn't even started yet, and you're already threatening the crew? Living in a room arranged by the crew will cause health problems, is this a complaint about the room, or do you have an issue with Galen? Oh my God, does Galen know that our lead actress dislikes him so much in private?"

"When did I say I disliked Galen?" Teresa's assistant shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here!"

Eileen crossed her arms, coldly watching him, "Who's the one talking nonsense here? Isn't it you who likes to play the moral high ground?"
