Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 21

Eileen came out of the shower to find the room empty. She didn't think much of it and went straight to blow-dry her hair and hit the hay.

Not long after, Phyllis and Bblythe came back. Bblythe, seeing Eileen asleep, lowered her voice. To her surprise, Phyllis made quite a ruckus, especially when she closed the door. Bblythe whispered, "Eileen is asleep."

Phyllis retorted, "Everyone's at a meeting next door, and she's sulking and sleeping here all by herself. She doesn't respect me. Why should I respect her?"

Bblythe disagreed, "She was in the shower and probably didn't hear you call her. I suggested calling her before we came back, but you didn't agree."

"I was in a meeting, and Bblythe you left as well. None of those guys would listen to me."

"Enough already." Bblythe had a headache. "Keep it down and go to sleep."

Eileen was actually awake at this time, just lying in bed.

After a while, the room lights turned off, and Eileen heard Bblythe, who was sleeping in the bed next to hers, lay down.

Then, the room's door suddenly opened. Eileen opened her eyes and turned her head to see. Sure enough, Phyllis' bed was empty, and she was the one who had left the room.

Phyllis was only gone for a few minutes, but when she came back, her mood was obviously better.

The next day, when Eileen got up at seven o'clock, she saw that the people next to her were still asleep. She got out of bed to wash up and then left the room.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Egbert, wearing a black coat, coming out of the boys' room next door. The cameraman in the corridor followed them with his camera equipment.

Egbert, with his hands in his coat pockets, looked at Eileen and asked, "Breakfast?"

Eileen nodded slightly. "You too?"

"Yes," The man replied, heading towards the elevator, and pressing the down button.

Eileen stood next to him, waiting for the elevator with him. The elevator came down quickly, and they went to the restaurant on the first floor, where free sandwiches were provided in the morning. They got their sandwiches and two cups of free coffee and sat by the window to eat.

The cameraman was filming next to them. The two sitting by the window were exceptionally good-looking, and the aroma of coffee filled the air, creating a warm atmosphere that seemed plain yet beautiful amidst the bustling city.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, a few pedestrians hurried by on the street. The bustling metropolis was just waking up.

After breakfast, seeing that there was still plenty of time, Eileen didn't go back upstairs but left the hotel.
