Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 40

In the hotel room at night

Sawyer, holding a script that he couldn’t make heads or tails of, was listening with a helpless expression as Simon, across the room, read the lines with passion. Simon’s reading was full of emotion, but Sawyer was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open

“Sawyer, it’s your turn to read the lines Simon said.

“Uh, where?” Sawyer squinted at the script, finally found his lines, and then read them in a cold tone with frequent pauses

“You’re completely wrong” Simon frowned, “You need more emotion. Didn’t you see the word ‘innocent’ in front of this line? It means you should read it

with a naive tone”

Sawyer tossed the script into Simon’s lap. Then I won’t read it.”

“Sawyer Simon yelled.

“No matter how much you shout, I won’t do it. Go find someone else.” Sawyer said.

If I could find someone else, I wouldn’t be looking for you. This scene is going to be filmed tomorrow. If I don’t practice well today, I’ll hold everyone back tomorrow. Everyone’s already not too pleased with me.” Simon said.

Sawyer impatiently said, “You’re the leading man, you should practice with the leading lady Why isn’t she practicing with you with all the money invested?” “Isn’t it because I pissed her off? Simon glanced

at Sawyer, “Also, Ms. Lopez was angry today, and it seemed like it had something to do with you!

Sawyer sat up from the bed, “Didn’t you say if we rented a dressing room for her, she wouldn’t have a reason to cling to Mr. Reed?”

“But she’s angry” Simon said

“So what? Should we coddle her? Who does she think she is?” Sawyer said

Simon threw the script back into Sawyer’s lap. Tm not asking you to caddle her, but since she won’t practice lines with me, you have to do it. Read the next line.”

Sawyer didn’t want to talk.

Of course, Sawyer didn’t want his little brother to keep bothering him, so he went to see Eileen the next day. Sawyers thinking was simple. She was just a not so famous actress. She was pretty, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t be replaced. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

He went in the morning and saw from a distance that Eileen was having breakfast. The hotel’s breakfast was buffet-style. Eileen took some breakfast items and found an empty seat.

Suddenly, someone sat down across from her

Eileen didn’t pay much attention at first, but when she looked up, her expression instantly cooled, “I don’t share tables. Leave.” She said bluntly.

The person across from her was Sawyer, and he seemed taken aback, “Are you talking to me?”

Eileen frowned, ‘Is there anyone else here?”

Sawyer couldn’t believe it. A small actress actually dared to talk to an investor like this. He said coldly, ‘Ms. Lopez, you really have a temper”

Eileen didn’t bother with him and got up directly with her plate and went to another table

But as soon as she sat down, the investor followed her again. Eileen leaned back in her chair, looking emotionlessly at the young man across from her with a mischievous expression, “Mr. Saul, do you enjoy sticking to people who ignore you?”

Sawyer sneered, “Ms. Lopez, do you always offend people you can’t afford to offend?”

“Cant afford to offend?” Eileen picked up a fried egg, took a bite, spit it out and said, “Yes, I dare not offend you. Even the delicious fried egg tastes bad because of you Your influence is so great. How could I possibly offend you?”

Sawyer’s face darkened, “Ms Lopez, has anyone ever told you that your way of speaking is very off- putting?”

Eileen retorted, “Mr. Saul, has anyone ever told you that your appearance is very repulsive?”

“Eileen”” Sawyer shouted.

“Do I know you? Why are you calling my name? My name coming out of your mouth sounds terrible. Can’t you have a little self-awareness? Eileen said.

“Your” Sawyer stood up angrily, causing quite a commotion and drawing the attention of other guests.

Eileen looked up at Sawyer with obvious impatience, “I don’t care what you and Bartley are thinking or planning to do. I’m warning you now, don’t bother me. If I have to take action, I won’t show mercy just because you’re an idiot.”

“Fine, you’re really something” Sawyer kicked the chair away and stormed off

People around were still looking this way

Eileen pointed to her head and said to the people around, “Sorry, he has some problems in here. The doctor said it can’t be cured. Sorry for disturbing your meal

People around turned their heads away, no longer discussing

The filming that day was not smooth. The cause of the problems was still Bartley.

Bartley, or Simon Lopez, was looking so awful it was indescribable. He was well prepared yesterday, but because Eileen was deliberately targeting him, no matter how he filmed today, there were problems.

He couldn’t remember how many times he messed up his performance. The only thing he remembered was that the crew members and asdistants, who were once friendly to him, were completely ignoring him now.

Simon, sighed and said to Sawyer, “This issue must be resolved”

I’ve thought of a solution.” Sawyer said ominously, 7 need to teach her a lesson.”

That night, Eileen received a call from Ophelia.

“Change the leading lady?” Eileen had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair. She put her phone on speaker and tossed it on the bed. asking calmly. Did Lenwood say this?”

Ophelia said discontentedly, it wasn’t the director who said it directly, but the assistant director conveying the investor’s opinion. The investor said you’re not being a team player on the set, you’re emotional, and bullying other actors. But he also said, if you can correct your behavior, he won’t replace you. Tell me Eileen, what did you do again?”

“I didn’t do anything” Eileen said lazily

Ophelia didnt believe it, “If you didn’t do anything, why would they come to me? No matter what you did, now, you must go apologize to the investor immediately*

“Apologize?” Eileen frowned and looked at the clock on the wall, “It’s already midnight”

“If you can’t make it, find someone to go with you We have to sort this mess out today. I’m telling you, Eileen, if you get replaced, you’ll be stuck as a nobody for the rest of your life” Ophelia said.

Eileen suddenly burst into laughter, ‘Guess I have no other choice then.”

“Right, you dont. You better go apologize now! Ophelia insisted

After hanging up the phone. Fileen put a towel around her neck, rubbed her wet hair, and, still in her slippers and pajamas, left the room.

Bartley’s room was next door Fileen knocked on his door.

Bartley, who was still memorizing his lines, was taken aback when he saw Eileen, “Miss Lopez?”

“Where’s Saul’s room?” Eileen asked straightforwardly

Bartley looked puzzled. “Uh?”

I’m asking you where his room is!” Eileen said.

“Downstairs, Room 0309 Miss Lopez is something wrong?” Bartley asked.

Eileen said, “Lead the way”

“Now?” Bartley looked surprised.

Eileen impatiently said, “Well, are you going or not?”

“Oh, okay.”A confused Bartley led Eileen to Sawyer’s room and knocked on the door. Inside the room, someone quickly came to open the door. Sawyer, in his casual clothes, looked at Eileen and Bartley standing at his door. He wasn’t surprised, but simply smirked and casually leaned against the door frame, “What brings you here this late at night, Miss Lopez?”

Eileen stared at him coldly. “Didn’t I warn you not to fool around in front of me?”

“Oh, still got that temper, huh?” Sawyer chuckled, “Looks like you really want to be replaced.”

“Bang!” A loud noise echoed, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Bartley was stiff, staring wide-eyed at Eileen’s fist lodged into the door frame next to Sawyer’s face, leaving an indentation.

Bartley swallowed hard, feeling like he was in a dream. Sawyer was also frightened. His words stuck in his throat as he too looked at the indentation next to his face. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“Do you know why I didn’t hit your face?” Eileen moved closer and looked into Sawyer’s eyes.

Sawyer’s lips were pale and dry, he weakly shook his head.

Eileen smirked, “Because you and Bartley are peers, Egbert is his uncle, and I’m the same generation as Egbert. If I hit you in the face first, wouldn’t that make me look like an adult bullying a child?”

With that, she landed her second punch right in Sawyers stomach before he could react. Sawyer groaned in pain.

“Ah!” Bartley rushed over to help him.

Eileen retracted her hand, shook it a few times, and said casually. Tm a bit tired today, but I’ll still teach you two naughty kids a lesson on behalf of your elders. You need to know your limits! Mr. Bartley, do

you think my apology is sincere enough now? Do you still plan to replace the leading lady?”
