Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 41

Sawyer was doubled over in pain, leaning heavily on his little brother. He looked up at the stern-faced girl in front of him.

Eileen locked eyes with him, her gaze filled with defiance and coldness. Obviously, Sawyer had managed to tick her off even more this time.

Seeing Sawyer's silence, Eileen turned to Bartley and said, "You seem a bit smarter than him. Take good care of him. Even if I'm broke, I won't let anyone trample on my dignity."

With that, she turned and left.

The elevator doors closed behind her. Bartley turned to his brother and said in a low voice, "Forget it, she said she would avoid Mr. Reed. She doesn't seem interested in getting involved in someone else's mess. We should..."

"Enough!" Sawyer suddenly snapped.

Bartley lowered his head, "I know you're mad, but we're guys, there's no need to..."

"I'm going to pursue her!" Sawyer said.

Bartley was speechless.

He thought he had misheard, hesitated and asked, "You mean, you're going to run after her and beat her up?"

"No, I mean, I'm going to pursue her!" Sawyer repeated. He straightened up, rubbed his stomach, and said excitedly, "I really like her!"

Bartley touched his brother's forehead, "Are you sick or something?"

Sawyer swatted his hand away and asked, "How old is she?"

Bartley thought for a moment, "Officially, she's nineteen, same age as me."

Sawyer smacked his lips, "A bit young." He was already twenty, "But that's fine, we're a decent match. Haven't you noticed, she kind of looks like me. Maybe this is what they call 'couple face'?"

Bartley still thought his silly brother had been hit on the head, he kindly suggested, "Do you want to take some medicine?"

Eileen returned to her room, still seething with anger. At that moment, her phone on the bed beeped.

Eileen picked it up to see it was a group chat notification. She frowned and opened it, just in time to see a message go by.

Phyllis: [Hey, Eileen's here? Who added her? I want to add her to my WhatsApp contacts!]

Bblythe: [Hmm? How did I get into this group? What kind of group is this?]

Josiah: [Phyllis set it up, said since we won't be together for the next recording, she created a group to keep in touch.]

Phyllis: [Yes, I made it, everyone are welcomed to invite other people. I was about to call to add Eileen and she showed up, did Josiah add her?]

Josiah: [Not me, I don't have her account.]

Bblythe: [Eileen, can I add you to my contact list?]

Egbert: [I added her.]

Phyllis: [Ha-ha, Egbert finally speaks [laughing emoji].]

Eileen silently watched the group chat history. She sat down on the bed and exited the group chat screen. She accepted their requests and then typed into the group: [You can save my contact information.]

Phyllis: [Eileen, I really like you.]

Eileen: [Buzz off.]

Phyllis: [I'm wounded.]

Josiah: [Can I save yours?]

Eileen, Phyllis, Bblythe and Egbert: [Try me.]
