Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 328

Egbert stared blankly at the four bowls before him, silent as the grave.

Carrol, standing awkwardly to the side, ventured, “Eileen, what on earth are you doing?”

Having just wiped her hands clean with a dish towel, Eileen fixed her cold gaze on Egbert and said sternly, “If you pull another stunt like this, I'll have even less reason to talk to you.”

With that, she turned on her heel and strode away.

Egbert watched her retreating figure, silent for a moment before turning to Carrol.

Carrol, somewhat embarrassed, offered, “I didn't expect her to react like that…”

Egbert replied calmly, “Let it be.”

Carrol suggested, “Don't worry, I'll try talking to her again.”

Egbert cut him off, “No need.”

He added, “I understand her.”

During the actual scene, Eileen hadn’t touched the food; she was simply using the moment to express her dissatisfaction.

And Carrol wasn’t entirely wrong; with Egbert’s time on set limited to just three days, if Eileen went out of her way to eat something foul to get back at him, it would impact the whole crew.

In the scene where Andromeda seduces Evander for the first time, it was Andromeda who made the first move.

After drinking the wine that Andromeda had lied was a gift from his wife, Evander started to feel dizzy.

His vision blurred, and he sometimes saw Andromeda, sometimes his wife Shirley. When Shirley's face stayed in focus, he grabbed her hand in his confusion.

A lucid Andromeda, noticing Evander's hand on hers, smiled slyly, pressing her curvaceous body close to his solid frame, her delicate hand wandering over his chest and waist.

Finally, she reached for his belt buckle, tugging at it and asked seductively, “General, what seems to be the matter?”

Evander swallowed hard, his other hand encircling Andromeda’s waist, his foggy eyes reflecting her image as he bent down and captured her lips with his.

Andromeda passively accepted his kiss, a playful smile on her face, her hand venturing further down with a look of pleasure and triumph in her eyes.

“Cut!” Carrol called out, eyes fixed on the monitor.

The two actors, wrapped up in their passionate kiss, instantly broke apart.

Eileen pulled her hand back, pushing away from Egbert and taking a step back. She accepted a bottle of water from Janice, twisting off the cap to take a sip.

Egbert watched her for a moment, then walked off the set.

After a while, Carrol shouted, “Alright, that’s a wrap for this scene. Let's prepare for the next one. Mr. Reed... Hey, where’s Mr. Reed?”

Eileen, her cheeks flushed, didn’t say a word.

A male crew member stammered, “I think he went to... wash his face.”

Carrol sighed.

The crew began changing the set, and twenty minutes later, the next scene was ready to shoot.

That morning, they completed two love scenes and three kissing scenes.

Egbert and Eileen got it right in one take.

Carrol was pleased. Seeing there was still time, he teased, “A couple of shots could be a bit better, shall we do another take?”

Eileen remained silent.

Egbert, with a firm voice, said, “This take is good enough.”

Carrol made exaggerated signals at Egbert, his intentions clear – he was trying to do him a favor.

Egbert, ungrateful, simply said, “Isn’t it time for lunch?”

Realizing Egbert was adamant about not reshooting, Carrol conceded, “Alright, lunch break for everyone.”

As Eileen passed by Egbert, she gave him an unexpected glance.

By the end of the day, most of the indoor scenes between Andromeda and Evander were completed.
