Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 44

Aurora was undoubtedly a shining star in the entertainment field, and her relationship with Egbert always attracted attention, so it was pretty clear that the show wanted to capitalize on them.

The mission, as announced, was suddenly altered.

"Usually, the mission is to check in at five spots, but this time it's increased to ten. The locations are set, but so is the budget, it's doubled. However, the time for the mission remains the same." The crew said.

Hearing this, everyone started to whisper among themselves.

A staff member from the show clapped their hands to get everyone's attention and said, "Since we have more tasks this time, we suggest you split into teams. Six people can divide into two or three teams."

Aurora pouted, "Why is it that as soon as I come, the mission gets so hard?" She then turned to the others, saying softly, "I don't know much about this game, I'll follow your lead."

Everyone was silent, and all eyes were on Eileen.

Aurora hadn't seen the previous two episodes because she was too busy to watch any variety shows. However, she understood the concept of the show. The meaning of Traveller 5+1 seemed to be that there were five regular guests and one Travel Concierge, whose job was to take care of their daily needs, basically like an assistant.

Knowing that Eileen was the Travel Concierge, Aurora suddenly said when she saw everyone staring at Eileen, "Hey, that's not fair. Are you planning to have her run around taking care of everyone after we split into teams? She's a girl too."

Aurora thought she made a valid point, showing her calmness and understanding. But after she spoke, she found everyone looking at her. She asked in confusion, "What's up? Did I say something wrong? Did you make Stewart do everything in the previous two episodes? Carrying luggage, doing chores, running errands? That's just too much!"

As she spoke, Aurora started to laugh, clearly taking her words as a joke. Considering the live cameras were on her, she certainly didn't believe the previous guests would make a girl do everything. They would definitely be criticized by the audience.

"Aurora, I'll explain later." Hubery whispered to Aurora.

"Explain what?" Aurora asked in confusion.

Hubery shook his head, indicating now was not the time to ask.

Eileen shifted her gaze from Aurora and asked the others coldly, "Do you want to split into teams?"

"We can split." Bblythe answered directly, "The task is heavy, there are many spots to hit, and we need to check in at specific locations. If we split up, we can use our time more efficiently."

"I also suggest we split into teams." Hubery interjected. He actually knew Aurora was coming, his manager told him yesterday. His manager also told him that this episode might involve team splitting, whether into three or two teams wasn't clear. But if they split into two teams, it would be him, Aurora, and Egbert. If three, it would be Aurora and Egbert.

All of this was pre-arranged by the show. The show planned to use the reunion of Aurora and Egbert to attract viewers. His manager told him that if he had a chance to work with a top star like Aurora, he should seize the opportunity and show off.

That was why Hubery seemed so happy this morning. With a big star like Aurora around, as long as he stayed close to her, he was certain to get screen time.

Ignoring Hubery, Eileen asked Bblythe, "How should we split, two teams or three?"

Bblythe frowned, "Let's split into two teams."

Eileen nodded and immediately started splitting, "Me, Bblythe, Josiah in one team; Mr. Reed, Ms. Aurora, Hubery in the other, any objections?" She asked, looking at the other three.

Aurora laughed at this, glanced at Egbert, and said gently, "I have no objections."

Hubery also said, "Neither do I."

"That settles it then." Eileen interrupted Hubery, "Now let's start splitting."

"I have an objection." Suddenly, Egbert, who had been silent, spoke up.

Everyone instantly turned to Egbert. Aurora's expression changed slightly, but quickly regained its calm.
