Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 16

It’s about to roll the cameras for the second episode of "Travel 5+1".

All the guests were set to gather at the second stop, which was none other than the airport in New York, USA.

Eileen was holding her ticket, ready to board, when her phone buzzed.

"You're at the airport, right? We have a surprise guest this time, can you pick him up? He's on your flight."

Eileen asked, "Who's he?"

The crew member replied, "Kenley."

Eileen nodded, asked again, "And who is he?"

The question seemed to throw the crew member for a loop, and they simply repeated, "Kenley."

Eileen clarified, "I mean, who is Kenley?"

The crew member on the other side of the line went silent.

After hanging up, Eileen, armed with a picture sent by the show team, managed to find a young man signing autographs for a group of female fans in the waiting area. He was dressed in trendy brand clothes.

Eileen stood off to the side and waited.

Before long, security came and shooed away the fans. Kenley, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, approached Eileen with a broad smile, "God, that was a hassle. How'd they manage to get into the waiting area? Ms. Lopez, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Eileen looked up at him, expressionless, "We're about to board. Let's go." She turned and grabbed her suitcase.

Just as she began to walk away, she felt a touch on the back of her hand.

Eileen immediately pulled her hand back, turning to face Kenley.

Seeing her reaction, Kenley chuckled, "I just accidentally touched your hand. Don't freak out. I was just trying to help you with your luggage. It's too heavy for a lady like you."

Accidentally touched? He had clearly stroked her hand.

Eileen said coldly, "Walk yourself. If you keep getting handsy, I'm not going to be happy."

Kenley laughed, "Wow, you're really fierce, huh?"

Eileen scowled and walked away without looking back.

Kenley stood behind her, a challenging spark in his eyes.

They boarded the plane and settled in economy class.

Unfortunately, they ended up seated next to each other.

Standing in the aisle, Kenley turned to Eileen with a smile, "Do you prefer the window or aisle seat? I'm good with either."

Ignoring him, Eileen turned to a young man on the other side of the aisle, "Excuse me, can we swap seats? Mine's just next to yours, it won't be much trouble..."

The young man turned his face, and both of them froze.

"Ms. Lopez!" Egbert's assistant stood up, a youthful face filled with laughter, "What a coincidence, you're on this flight too!"

Eileen looked at him with a puzzled expression, "You're also going to New York?"

The assistant replied, "Yes, I'm accompanying Mr. Reed. Last time I couldn't go with him to Paris, and Egbert fell sick with no one to care for him. This time Gilbert told me, I have to stick with Mr. Reed all the time. Oh, and Mr. Reed is also on this flight. He's in the first class."

Eileen blinked, "Is Egbert also attending this time?"

The assistant immediately answered, "Of course he will attend, why wouldn't he?"

Eileen vaguely remembered someone mentioning that Egbert was just temporarily replacing the sick Kaleb. So, is he also participating this time?

"Ms. Lopez, do you want to swap seats? Here, you can take mine." The assistant quickly offered his seat and then asked amicably, "Do you want to go to first class to greet Mr. Reed? He'll be very pleased to see you."
