Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 141

Stepping out of the restaurant, Eileen looked back to confirm no one was chasing after them. Breathing a sigh of relief, she patted Egbert on the shoulder.

"You're so smart!"

Egbert just silently looked at her, not uttering a word.

At this time, there were still quite a few people around.

Egbert led her into a parked black sedan.

"Drive."

The driver started the engine.

Eileen turned to chat with Egbert, only to find him looking gloomy and cold, seemingly pissed off.

Taken aback, Eileen kept silent. She wasn't sure what was going on, so she decided to keep her mouth shut.

After a while, Eileen started to search in her pockets.

Egbert’s icy gaze moved to her.

Seeing Egbert looking at her, Eileen quickly explained, "I have blood on my hands, I want to clean them up..."

After looking at Eileen for a while, Egbert finally let out a sigh of relief.

He took two tissues from the box behind his seat, grabbed Eileen's hand, and helped her clean up.

The blood on her hands had already dried, it needed water to wash off, so wiping it could only do so much.

Eileen noticed Egbert was still in a bad mood, so she remained quiet and let him wipe her hands.

After a while, Egbert broke the silence, "were you scared?"

Eileen instantly nodded.

"What scared you?" Egbert asked.

"I'm scared you'll rub my skin raw. Could you get a fresh tissue? This one's torn already."

Egbert gave her a cold stare, let go of her hand and asked, "Do you have any idea how dangerous today was? Why couldn't I reach you on your phone?"

If something had really happened to Eileen, not being able to reach her would be understandable. But since she was fine, why couldn't he get hold of her?

Eileen was taken aback. It just dawned on her that Egbert was mad at her.

She took out her phone and saw over a dozen missed calls.

Eileen gasped in surprise and hastily explained, "I... I didn't know... The director asked us to mute our phones during filming. After I got out, I was tricked into going to Royal Mirage Bistro and forgot to unmute my phone..."

Egbert frowned at Eileen, seemingly trying to gauge if she was lying.

In a rush, Eileen added, "Really, I totally forgot... And I didn't expect to worry you by just stepping out for a bit. Usually, no one would care if something happened to me..."

"What are you talking about?" Egbert's voice suddenly turned stern.

Stunned, Eileen thought for a moment and said, "Egbert, don't be mad, I'll remember to unmute my phone next time."

Egbert just quietly looked at Eileen.

After a while, he grabbed her hand again and continued to wipe.

In a small voice, Eileen said, "Could you get a new tissue..."

Egbert gave her a cold glance.

Eileen quickly changed her tone, "Just do whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

Egbert got a new tissue, then said, "Don't let something like this happen again. Have you ever thought about what would have happened if the restaurant staff had walked in instead of us?"
