Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 16

It’s about to roll the cameras for the second episode of “Travel 5+1.

All the guests were set to gather at the second stop, which was none other than the airport in New York, USA

Eileen was holding her ticket, ready to board, when her phone buzzed.

“You’re at the airport, right? We have a surprise guest this time, can you pick him up? He’s on your flight.”

Eileen asked. “Who’s he?”

The crew member replied. “Kenly”

Eileen nodded, asked again, “And who is he?’

The question seemed to throw the crew member for a loop, and they simply repeated, “Kenley”

Eileen clarified, “I mean, who is Kenley?”

The crew member on the other side of the line went silent.

After hanging up. Eileen, armed with a picture sent by the show team, managed to find a young man signing autographs for a group of female fans in the waiting area. He was dressed in trendy brand clothes

Eileen stood off to the side and waited.

Before long, security came and shooed away the fans. Kenley, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, approached Eileen with a broad smile, “God, that was a hassle How’d they manage to get into the waiting area? Ms. Lopez. Im sorry to keep you waiting”

Eileen locked up at him, expressionless, We’re about to board. Lets go.” She tumed and grabbed her suitcase.

Just as she began to walk away, she felt a touch on the back of her hand.

Eileen immediately pulled her hand back, turning to face Kenley Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her reaction, Kenley chuckled, “I just accidentally touched your hand. Don’t freak out. I was just trying to help you with your luggage. It’s too heavy for a lady like you

Accidentally touched? He had clearly stroked her hand

Eileen said coldly. “Walk yourself if you keep getting handsy. I’m not going to be happy”

Kenley laughed, “Wow, you’re really fierce, huh?”

Eileen scowled and walked away without looking back

Kenley stood behind her, a challenging spark in his eyes.

They boarded the plane and settled in economy class.

Unfortunately, they ended up seated next to each other

Standing in the aisle, Kenley turned to Eileen with a smile, “Do you prefer the window or aisle seat? I’m good with either.”

Ignoring him, Eileen turned to a young man on the other side of the aisle. “Excuse me, can we swap seats? Mine’s just next to yours, it won’t be much trouble…

The young man turned his face, and both of them froze

“Ms. Lopez” Egbert’s assistant stood up, a youthful face filled with laughter. “What a coincidence, you’re on this flight too!”

Eileen looked at him with a puzzled expression. “You’re also going to New York?”

The assistant replied, “Yes, I’m accompanying Mr. Reed. Last time I couldn’t go with him to Paris, and Egbert fell sick with no one to care for him. This time Gilbert told me I have to stick with Mr. Reed all the time. Ch, and Mr. Reed is also on this flight. He’s in the first class”

Eileen blinked. “Is Egbert also attending this time?”

The assistant immediately answered, “Of course he will attend, why wouldn’t he?”

Eileen vaguely remembered someone mentioning that Egbert was just temporarily replacing the sick Kaleb. So, is he also participating this time?

“Ms Lopez, do you want to swap seats? Here, you can take mine.” The assistant quickly offered his seat and then asked amicably, “Do you want to go to first class to greet Mr. Reed? He’ll be very pleased to see you.”

“Why would he be pleased?” Eileen frowned, taking the assistant’s seat, and said indifferently. “He’s not a king, why should I go and greet him?”

The assistant was taken aback by Eileen’s words and seeing her stern expression, he didn’t dare to say anything more.

Kenley, on the other hand, found this amusing, “So, you’re Egbert’s assistant? Come, sit here…”

On plane. Eileen had her airplane meal and started to feel drowsy. She covered herself with a blanket and fell asleep. When she woke up, she stumbled towards the lavatory

After washing her face and about to leave the restroom, she bumped into someone.

The person was a man, taller than her Still feeling a bit drowsy, she didn’t notice who it was and simply muttered an apology before moving on

Suddenly, the plane hit turbulence and shook violently

Eileen stumbled and almost fell

Just in time, the man beside her steadied her by her hand, “Careful.”

A familiar deep voice echoed in her ears.

The turbulence was bnel, and the plane quickly returned to normal

Edeen looked up in surprise to see the man beside her was indeed Egbert

“What are you doing here?” she asked, taken aback.

Egbert, having steadied her, withdrew his hand and replied. “The restroom in the first class is occupied”

He seemed to have leamed from his assistant that Eileen was also on this flight, so he didn’t seem surprised to see her.

He came to use the restroom?

Eileen didn’t say anything else and stepped aside to let him in.

Egbert entered the restroom and the door closed gently

Most people were asleep and the cabin was dim.

Eileen returned to her seat, just in time to see Egbert coming out of the restroom at the end of the cabin. Looks like he just went to wash his hands? Eileen pulled the blanket over herself and continued to sleep.

When the plane landed in New York, it was already noon.

In the airport hall, Phyllis, Bblythe, and Josiah had already arrived

Seeing Eileen come out Bblythe waved at her with a smile.

As Eileen approached them, they noticed Kenley trailing behind her.

“Wow, Kenley!” Phyllis jumped up from her chair, ran over excitedly, and linked arms with Kenley. “The crew said there’d be a special guest this time. Is it you?”

Kenley, all smiles, casually slung an arm around Phyllis, messing her hair a bit. “Who else could it be? You guys don’t you welcome me?”

“Of course we welcome you!”

Phyllis was clearly affected by the excitement, introducing Kenley to Bblythe and Josiah

In just three short minutes, all three of them rallied to Kenley’s side.

Eileen, however, stood alone.

At this point, the show went live.

Finally, the show’s starting.]

(Ah, it’s Kenley. Go Kenley!]
