Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 34

In a cramped space, the two bodies were pressed close together.

"Egbert?" A man's voice drifted in from outside the door, sounding a bit muffled.

Eileen's heart was racing. She looked up at the man in front of her, catching him staring at her chest. Looking down, she realized her bra was showing.

"Stop staring!" Eileen retorted, pulling her collar up and shooting him a glare.

Egbert fell silent for a moment, then looked up at her.

"I know you've got a ton of questions." Eileen said. "I'll explain later, but for now I need your help."

Although her tone was pleading, her actions were quite the opposite.

Egbert glanced down at his collar, which was being gripped by Eileen. One of her hands was clutching her own collar while the other was tightly holding onto his. Her forceful demeanor was more threatening than begging.

Egbert raised his hand, wanting to loosen her grip, but her hand held on tightly.

"You let go first." Egbert said.

Eileen refused, "Promise me first! Help me out, and then I'll let go!"

Egbert frowned, letting go of her hand and calmly replied, "Guess we'll just wait it out then."

“You!” Eileen said.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Egbert?" It was still the man's voice.

Eileen, feeling frustrated, reluctantly released Egbert.

Egbert didn't move. He just glanced at his rumpled collar, then looked back at Eileen.

Eileen could only helplessly reach out and straighten his collar for him, "There, happy now?"

Egbert chuckled. Eileen glared at him, not saying a word.

"Hold on." He threw a piece of clothing over Eileen's head.

Before Eileen could react, the door swung open. She immediately froze.

"Egbert, what are you doing in there? And what is this?” The guy asked.

The door shut.

After waiting a moment, Eileen carefully removed the clothing from her head. The changing room was now empty.

Without much thought, she quickly changed, while voices from outside seeped in. After a while, Egbert's voice came from outside, "You can come out now."

Eileen, clutching her original clothing, cautiously stepped out. The room was empty except for Egbert.

Eileen saw Egbert sitting coldly on the sofa, watching her with a calm expression.

The heater was on in the room, and Egbert seemed to be feeling hot. His black coat was thrown next to the sofa, and he was only wearing a thin white shirt with a badly crumpled collar.

Looking at the wrinkles on his collar, Eileen felt a bit awkward, "About what just happened, thank you."

Egbert just gave her a once-over and stayed silent.

Her hairdo, the heavy makeup on her face, the exquisite dress she was wearing, all gave her a charming air.

"Are you filming a drama?" He asked.

"Yes, just next door." Eileen replied.

Egbert didn't say anything else. In fact, this was the first time he saw Eileen so carefully dressed. Usually, she appeared rather slovenly. But now, she was all dolled up, shining brightly, so elegant it was hard to look away.
