Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen -
Chapter 57
Chapter 57
“Yeah, that’s Eileen Sawyer said with caution
Chad didn’t respond.
His gaze was cold and sharp, filled with a hint of doubt, staring at the girl on stage for a good while. Then the girl suddenly turned and left
“Where’s she off to?” He asked immediately
Sawyer explained. “Seems like she’s just a dance partner. After the dance, she went off stage. The dude she was dancing with is the competitor, and he needs to stay on stage for the judges’ remarks”
Chad furrowed his eyebrows.
Sawyer tentatively said, ‘So about her…”
“Where’s backstage?”
Sawyer was taken aback, “What?”
When Eileen walked off the stage, she went to change her outfit. When she reappeared, she saw Colin was still receiving comments from the TV broadcasting nearby
Elleen didn’t continue watching, she zipped up her thick coat, turned around and left the dressing room.
As she walked out, she ran into someone right at the door.
It was a man, looked to be in his 30s, with deep-set eyebrows and handsome features. His gaze was icy cold and stern.
Eileen raised an eyebrow, not recognizing him, so she tried to leave. But the man suddenly grabbed her arm.
Eileen quickly stepped back, pulling her arm away, giving him a cold look. Chad was also taken aback, looked at his own hard hanging in the air, frowned, dropped his hand, then looked at the girl in front of him, “Eileen?”
Eileen coldly responded, “Yes, what do you want?”
Chad was speechless.
This girl, she was a bit fierce, wasn’t she?
Eileen scoffed. She was familiar with men who were outwardly polite, good looking, but filthy inside. He didn’t even know her and he just touched her, This kind of man, obviously not a good guy.
After saying that, seeing him frowning, staring at her silently, she added, if you have nothing else, get out of the way. Don’t you know you’re not good-looking?”
Chad’s frown deepened
However, Eileen just walked past him and left.
It wasn’t until Eileen completely disappeared that Sawyer cautiously emerged from the side, standing next to Chad, “Chad?”
Chad looked at him with a gloomy face, “You said she’s filming with Hartley now?”
Sawyer hesitated and nodded. “Yes”
Chad looked in the direction where Eileen disappeared. “Don’t you think she looks.. familiar?”
Sawyer immediately responded, “Yes, don’t you think she looks like my future wife?”
Chad was speechless.
Sawyer mumbled, “If I gift her a Ferran, do you think she would date me?”
Chad smacked him on the back of his head, “Are you asking for a beating?”
When Eileen reached the entrance of the TV station, she saw that Ophelia and another girl were already waiting for her. She walked over, but found that the way they were looking at her was a bit odd.
Eileen touched her face, Whats up?”
Ophelia was quiet for a moment before saying. “Get in the car”
The three got into the car, with Doreen sitting in the passenger seat. Eileen comfortably sat in the backseat, with her legs crossed.
From the tearview mirror, Ophelia saw her self-satisfied expression and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. She asked, “When did you start learning street “dance? It’s not in your talent file at the company”
Eileen casually swung her leg and said, 1 didn’t know before”
“So when did you start learning?”
Eileen thought for a moment, ‘Probably half an hour ago?”
Ophelia was a bit angry, “Can you please be serious?”
Eileen responded innocently, “It really was half an hour ago. Didn’t you see me constantly watching the tutorial videos? I watched it several times, and studied it very seriously.”
Ophilia frowned, “Fine, if you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. Anyway, thanks to you, Colin advanced, and with an A rating, it’s a good start”
Hearing this, Eileen immediately leaned forward, and tentatively asking. “Since it’s thanks to me, do I get a bonus?”
Chapter 57
Doreen in the passenger seat couldn’t help but laugh.
Ophelia said irritably, “All you think about is money. It’s the end of the month. Your salary is about to be paid”
Eileen leaned back in her seat disappointedly. “The salary is so low. My base wage is only two hundred dollars”
Ophelia glanced at her, “You’ll also get paid for Traveller 5+1; that should be around two to three thousand dollars.”
Eileen immediately sat up straight, “Two to three thousand dollars?”
Ophelia answered. “You’ve filmed three episodes, each episode pays two thousand dollars. So in total, you have six thousand dollars. After the company takes its cut and taxes, you should still get over two thousand dollars.”
Eileen said with satisfaction, That’s good then.”
Doreen in the front couldn’t help but say, “An issue only pays two thousand dollars? I heard that other guests are paid several hundred thousand dollars per episode, Egbert even higher, several million dollars.”
Ophelia explained, “Shes a Travel Concierge, basically a gopher, plus she was filling in for Colin, so the price was discounted”
“But Eileen is famous now, right?” Everyone in the company knew that Eileen made it in the hot topic in Traveller 5+1 because of her knife skills challenge video
Ophelia responded, “So starting from next episode, the price will go up. The PR department is already negotiating with the Traveller 5+1 crew.
After dropping Eileen back to the set, as soon as Ophelia returned to the company, the manager immediately went to her.
“What, they want to replace her?”
The manager also looked unhappy, “We don’t understand it either, but the Traveller 5+1 crew insisted on replacing her, Eileen won’t be needed for the next
issue.”
Ophelia angrily said, “On what grounds?”
The manager didn’t say anything.
Ophelia looked at her, “Do you know why? Is it because the price increase was too much?”
The price is definitely not too high.” The manager looked at Ophelia and sighed, ‘Apparently it’s because of Aurora.
“Aurora?”
“You might have noticed, Aurora’s been making the rounds for the Goldie Award nomination. Her romantic partnership with Egbert started a long time ago. On the last recording, lots of folks were betting on them meeting up, but Egbert ended up teaming with Eileen. The very second that episode wrapped up, Aurora’s manager started pressuring the show to dump Eileen. If Eileen appears on Traveller 5+1 again, Aurora’s gonna bail.”
“She can bloody well bail!” Ophelia snapped, “Who does this woman think she is? Her word is law now?”
The manager just shook his head. “That’s the lay of the land right now. The show picked Aurora and sacrificed Eileen. You need to find a time to break it
to her.”
By the time Eileen found out she was getting axed from Traveller 5+1, it was already nighttime.
After hanging up on Ophelia, she lay on her hotel bed, pondering for a bit before pulling out her phone to open their group chat.
The last message in the chat was from the night they made the group. Eileen hesitated for a second before finally dropping a message in the chat. Eileen: (I got axed]
