Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 135

Eileen and Egbert didn't chat for long before they got to the training room to start teaching the contestants some dance moves.

In two days, it would be the third stage performance. Word on the street was that the show was supposed to air right after the third performance.

After a whole morning of practice, it was time for an afternoon break. Eileen then got a call from Lenwood.

On the phone, Lenwood sounded super sweet.

"Eileen, our show is a hit!"

Eileen was thrilled, "I saw it! The views is over 40 million!"

"More than that, including this morning, it's already over a hundred million!"

"Wow!" Eileen was totally taken aback. She hadn't checked her phone all morning.

Lenwood then brought up the interview.

Eileen was stumped, "What interview?"

Lenwood explained, "It's just a casual interview. You and Bartley are invited. No need for on-site interview, just a video call will do. It's mainly about funny stories during filming. Just chit-chat to hype up the show."

Eileen immediately cheered up, "Huh, you said you didn't want anyone to know I directed the show."

Lenwood quickly comforted her, "No no, things are different now. Who knew you had such a huge influence!"

Even Egbert was affected!

Lenwood then sweet-talked Eileen a bunch before settling on a time for the interview that night.

At 5:30 in the evening, Simon was already seated in his study, ready for the video interview.

However, when he looked up, the sofa opposite him was already filled with people.

Simon was speechless, "…Just watch, please stay quiet."

Simon and Sawyer's mother, Sonia was sitting there holding Isabel, feeding her ice cream.

Sonia looked up at Simon, sounding annoyed, "Don't worry, we won't make a sound."

Isabel, sitting in Sonia's lap, raised her hand and said, "I'll be a good girl, I won't disturb Simon!"

Simon gave his cousin Isabel a smile and complimented, "You're the best."

At that moment, Chad Lopez handed Isabel a slice of peeled apple.

Isabel reached out to take it, but Sonia stopped her.

Sonia gave Chad a displeased look and told Isabel, "I'll peel the apple for you."

Chad pulled back the apple seeing that Isabel didn't want it, planning to eat it himself.

Suddenly, Sawyer came over, smiling, "Chad, I want one."

"You wish!" Chad kicked Sawyer away, then turned his head to check the clock, asking Simon, "Why hasn't it started yet?"

Simon replied, feeling dejected, "Chad, the interview is scheduled to start at six."

Chad started munching on the apple and stopped talking.

At that moment, Blake Lopez came in from outside.

Blake had just been out for a smoke, still smelling of tobacco. He put down his phone and said, "I've told dad, the video will be streamed to him, he can watch it from there."

Sawyer was astonished, "Isn't it still early morning over there?"

Blake just gave Sawyer a deadpan look.

Sawyer immediately shut up.

Well, it made sense. Eileen was about to have a video chat with Simon, whether it was early morning or late night, Derek Lopez would be up to watch.

Finally, it was six o'clock.

Under the watchful eyes of his family, Simon successfully started the video chat.
