Eileen was in a great mood, humming a tune as she headed downstairs after breakfast, ready to hit the shooting site.
However, as she stepped out of the hotel, a red Ferrari pulled up before her eyes.
Eileen instinctively tried to go around it.
Then the car door opened, and out came Sawyer, trying to look cool.
He took off his sunglasses, placed his hands on the roof of the car, and looked at Eileen across the car. He asked with a smile, "Where are you off to? The shooting site? I can give you a ride."
Eileen frowned. She hadn't seen this guy in a few days and thought he had left. But here he was again.
She didn't want to deal with him and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't rush off. I came to apologize," Sawyer said, looking at her with a smug smile.
Eileen raised an eyebrow. "Apologize?"
"For what happened last time," Sawyer said, handing her the car keys. "This is my apology gift."
Eileen looked at the keys, noticing the Ferrari logo on the key ring.
Sawyer stepped closer, a mischievous grin on his face. He leaned in and said in a low voice, "Tonight, let's go for a drive."
Eileen grabbed him with one hand and tossed him aside like a rag doll.
She looked down at him and said, "Because you're family with Bartley, I'll let you off this time."
Sawyer rubbed his sore butt, got up, and said angrily, "We were just going for a drive, I didn't mean anything else by it. I even gave you the car."
Eileen scoffed, "Did I accept your car?"
Sawyer quickly extended his hand, "Then take it."
"I don't want it," Eileen said, walking past him.
Sawyer followed her, "Eileen, you must see that I'm chasing after you."
Eileen walked briskly.
Sawyer followed suit, "Wait for me."
Eileen entered Cinema City, thinking Saul wouldn't be able to get in, but to her surprise, he came in with an employee pass.
Eileen was annoyed. She ran back to the shooting site and saw Bartley reading the script. She walked up to him and took the script from his knee.
Bartley looked up, puzzled. "Ms. Lopez?"
Eileen pointed at the door with a grim face, "Your brother's gone nuts. Take him to the hospital."
Bartley turned around in surprise to see his brother, indeed coming in.
Not just coming in, his brother was even whining to Ms. Lopez, "Do you know how much I've gone through to see you? My uncle had found out so I was tortured at the company for a week. I barely managed to escape and came to find you right away. Please look at me."
Bartley was shocked. So this was Sawyer's way of pursuing a girl?
"Don't do this. You're making Ms. Lopez uncomfortable," Bartley quickly advised.
Sawyer glared at Bartley, "Are you even my brother? Instead of helping me, you're adding to the mess?"
"I'm not adding to the mess."
Eileen had had enough of their nonsense. She threw the script back to Bartley and warned them, "Don't bother me again. Is that clear?"
Eileen stormed off to change. As she came out of the dressing room, her phone rang.
It was a call from Ophelia. She answered the call in the corridor, "Hello."
On the other end of the line, Ophelia wanted to discuss work. Fancy Island was a 20-episode web drama that could finish shooting in just over a month if everything went smoothly.
They had already been shooting for half a month. Ophelia called to tell Eileen she had found a new variety show for her, scheduled right after Fancy Island wrapped up.
