Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 42

As her seat was raised, a footrest popped out from below. Eileen excitedly put her feet up. Spotting a blanket and pillow nearby, she immediately unfolded them, thinking to herself, "First class really is something else!"

The plane took off in no time, with the in-flight announcement reminding everyone about safety measures, but there wasn't a word about using cell phones. Eileen was a stickler for rules and obediently turned off her phone.

Not long after takeoff, the flight attendants began asking each passenger what they would like to eat and drink.

There was no way Eileen was going to pass up on free food and drinks, especially since the meals in first class were so much tastier and varied than those in business class. She regretted having eaten breakfast too early, but still ordered some packaged snacks and cake. Even if she didn't eat them now, she could take them with her when she got off the plane.

When the flight attendant delivered her food, the partition to the next cabin was opened momentarily. In that brief moment, Eileen noticed that her neighbor, Egbert, was still on his phone.

She pointed at him and immediately reported, "He didn't turn off his phone!"

The flight attendant was taken aback, and the man across her turned his head at the sound of her voice. He didn't seem surprised to see her, as if he already knew she was next to him.

Eileen held a challenging gaze with Egbert, who merely glanced at her before turning his attention back to his call.

"Hey, this guy has no sense of safety!" Eileen glared at the flight attendant, "Aren't you going to scold him?"

The flight attendant awkwardly explained, "Miss, our airline provides in-flight internet. All our first-class passengers can use their phones in airplane mode to connect to the internet 20 minutes after takeoff. There's no need to turn off the phone."

Eileen was stunned.

Afraid that she might feel embarrassed, the flight attendant quickly added, "Enjoy your meal." She hastily push her cart away.

Eileen's face flushed with heat. First-class passengers even got to surf the web on the plane! Was this what being rich felt like?

Eileen was a little dazed.

Egbert hung up his call and looked over at her, his eyes intense, "Is there a problem?"

Eileen didn't want to deal with him. She pressed the button to raise the partition, secretly turned on her phone, and tried to connect to the wifi. To her surprise, it worked.

"Wow!" She exclaimed again. This was seriously high-class!

The plane landed in Tokyo from the Capital.

Eileen walked out of her first-class cabin begrudgingly. As soon as she opened the partition, she saw Egbert rising from his seat.

Although the aisle was wide, Egbert paused to let her pass. Eileen shot the man a glance, feeling in no way that he was being gentlemanly. She walked ahead of him with determined strides.

Egbert watched her resolute figure and chuckled lightly.

As soon as Eileen walked out of the boarding tunnel, she saw the crew members. They led her to the meeting point, where she found that she and Egbert were the first to arrive—no one else was there yet.

"Please take a break. Ms. Bblythe and Mr. Morgan's plane will arrive in about an hour." A crew member politely informed them.

Eileen sat down in a corner with the snacks and drinks she got from first class. Egbert sat on the other side and immediately started checking his phone. He seemed very busy today.

Perhaps he was always busy. Eileen recalled that during their travels, Egbert often made calls on the balcony at night and sometimes early in the morning while others were having breakfast.

Did an actor really have to be this busy? Even if he was, shouldn't his manager be the one dealing with things?
