Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 310

The touch was unmistakably familiar! Almost instantly, Eileen swiveled her head to look.

And there he was, as expected, Egbert! Eileen's eyes widened in shock.

"OMG! OMG! OMG!!!"

Click, click, click!

"Egbert! Egbert! Egbert!"

The scene erupted. To the right were the media and fans, their screams and calls blanketing the night sky, deafening.

Eileen, bewildered, stared at the suddenly appeared Egbert, blurting out, "What are you doing here!"

Egbert took her hand gently, guiding her arm through his as they continued forward, his voice calm, "I'm presenting an award."

Eileen didn't buy it, "Stop kidding! What kind of awards show could get someone of your stature to present?"

He turned his head slightly, coming closer to whisper in her ear, "We'll talk inside."

The fans went wild, screams echoing!

Meanwhile, on the live stream, the chat was going crazy.

"The E&E couple strutting down the red carpet" shot up the trending list like a rocket, seizing the number one spot in no time.

In the car, Ophelia was watching the live stream.

Her expression was stone-cold, her hand trembling as it reached into her purse, fumbling for her emergency nitroglycerin tablets. Twisting the cap off, she popped two pills into her mouth, the bitter taste somehow calming her nerves.

After signing autographs, Eileen and Egbert made their way inside.

The moment they were away from the cameras, Eileen found a secluded corridor to confront Egbert, “What are you doing?"

Egbert didn't answer. Instead, he was inspecting Eileen's dress for the evening.

Her bare shoulders were exposed, her hair was up, revealing her chest and neck.

Narrowing his eyes, he didn't like what he saw, "Who picked out this dress?"

Eileen glanced at her attire and then back at him defiantly, "Stop changing the subject! We’re talking about you showing up here!"

He casually shrugged, "It’s work."

Eileen scoffed, "Why didn't you mention it before?"

"It was a last-minute thing," he replied nonchalantly.

Just then, some staff members passed by. Eileen switched topics instantly, "You've been working hard, Mr. Reed. Thanks for helping me out. I would've been lost without you."

Egbert watched her, speechless.

After the staff had gone, Eileen was back on the offensive, "When we get home, you're explaining everything!"

With that, she flounced toward the auditorium.

But Egbert stopped her again. Turning to him irritably, she demanded, "What now?"

He looked at her for a moment before reaching out and unhooking the hair tie hidden in her locks. Her meticulously done hair tumbled down around her shoulders.

Stunned, Eileen stared at Egbert, at a loss for words.

He fiddled with her hair, covering her exposed skin, and reluctantly said, "Let's go in."

Looking at her hair, she nearly had a heart attack.
