In the new room downstairs, Bblythe hung up the phone, looking clueless at Eileen who was engrossed in a TV show next to her.
She asked in surprise, "Did you check out the room upstairs?"
Eileen, without looking away from the TV, replied casually, "Well duh, how else would I have the money to book this room?"
Bblythe was dumbstruck.
Eileen glanced over at Bblythe for a moment and sat up, "Don't tell me you thought I was going to use my own money to book another room? Have I gone mad? Do I look like an idiot?"
Bblythe suddenly stood up, walked over to Eileen and looked down at her from above.
Then she reached out, grabbing Eileen's face.
Eileen lifted her head, forced to look up at Blythe.
Blythe leaned in and suddenly kissed Eileen on the face.
Eileen's eyes widened in surprise, she pushed Bblythe's hand away, wiped her face with the back of her hand and asked, "Bblythe, what are you doing?"
Bblythe sat down next to Eileen, holding her tight, and said passionately, "I really like you."
Eileen chuckled, "I like myself too."
Blythe held onto Eileen like this, hugging her for a long time without moving.
Feeling something was off, Eileen turned her head to find Bblythe crying.
Tears were quietly streaming down her face without making a sound.
Eileen softly called out, "Bblythe?"
Bblythe sniffed, let go of her, wiped her eyes and said, "It's nothing, just thinking about the past. It's all over now."
Eileen didn't say anything more.
It wasn't hard to guess what had happened, something about a two-faced woman and a fickle man.
Eileen only found out about how things were handled on Aurora's end the next day from Josiah.
Aurora supposedly had nowhere to stay last night since their team had run out of money. After failing to get help from the production crew, she ended up staying in one of the crew members' rooms.
Eileen mused after hearing this, "So you can stay in a crew member's room?"
Josiah knew what she was up to and quickly said, "Apparently, one of the crew members is a hardcore fan of hers and was willing to risk getting fired to take her in."
Eileen shook her head, "I don't have fans."
The comments popped up.
[You have fans.]
[I'm your fan, don't ignore me!]
[Eileen, I love you!]
[To be able to stay in a crew member's room, Aurora sure is treated differently.]
[I don't really like Aurora, don't understand why so many people like her. Apart from The Alley, does she have any other representative works? The popularity of The Alley is due to Egbert's superb acting, I don't think Aurora's acting is anything special.]
[If Aurora's acting was good, she wouldn't have gone so many years without winning a single Best Actress award.]
[I originally had a good impression of Aurora, but she really crossed the line this time.]
[It's clear that she's using the variety show and Egbert's influence to prepare for winning the Goldie Award. From Egbert's reaction, it's obvious that he was not informed in advance. In other words, Aurora shamelessly linked Egbert with her promotion without informing him beforehand, using reminiscing the past as an excuse. It's no wonder Egbert has repeatedly ignored her.]
