Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 132

Egbert and Eileen decided to hit up the hotel restaurant for a late-night snack.

Egbert wasn't particularly hungry. He just scooped a couple of shrimps into his bowl and started peeling them with gloves on.

There was a TV in the private dining room, airing some celebrity news, covering today's stage performance events.

The news reported that before a certain talent show kicked off today, some audience members started a live stream online, and surprisingly, Egbert was seen as a guest on the show.

The news also mentioned that even though the live stream ended later, according to the audience, there was a heated argument among several guests, including Eileen, Aurora and Hubery Cooper.

But since all these reports were based on incomplete information and without any video evidence, the media didn't have the full picture. So, we might have to wait until the show airs to find out what really happened.

However, some netizens thought that both Egbert's appearance and the argument among the guests might be publicity stunts to attract attention.

Eileen kept watching the news until the next story came on.

While munching on some barbecued meat, she asked Egbert, "What time is your flight tomorrow?"

Egbert had just finished peeling one shrimp. He dipped it in some sauce and handed it to Eileen. "Five o'clock," he replied.

Eileen paused for a moment, gave him a look, and then quickly devoured the shrimp. A smile finally appeared on her face.

"And what time are you getting up?" she asked.

"Around three."

Eileen frowned, thought for a moment, and then rang the bell on the table to call in a waiter.

She ordered two more desserts to go.

After the waiter left, Egbert finished peeling the other shrimp.

He handed the shrimp to Eileen and asked, "Are you still hungry?"

"No," Eileen ate the shrimp and then replied, "This is for you. The hotel doesn't start serving breakfast until later, so you can have these desserts instead."

Egbert was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Thanks."

Then Eileen suddenly started eating at a rapid pace!

When the desserts arrived, Eileen's cheeks were already stuffed full.

After paying the bill, Eileen dragged Egbert straight to the elevator.

Egbert's room was on the same floor as Eileen's.

Eileen escorted Egbert to his room and handed him the desserts.

She glanced at the time on her phone, ignoring the 18 missed calls from Ophelia, and said, "It's already half past twelve. You can still get a couple of hours of sleep. Get some rest."

Egbert held the desserts in one hand and used his other hand to wipe off some sauce from the corner of her mouth.

Eileen just stood there, watching him.

Egbert stared at Eileen, his fingertips gently brushing her cheek.

"I won't see you until next time..." he murmured.
