Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 4

The next day, at the hotel where the Seahaven crew was staying.

Penniless Eileen, right after the staff left, immediately grabbed her room card and went downstairs to enjoy the free food and drinks. During work, the registration of the room card and the cost of food and drinks were all covered by the crew!-

She happily stepped into the elevator, which stopped at a middle floor and two people came in. Eileen was looking down at her phone and didn't notice them.

Suddenly, she felt a sudden gaze cast on her.

She looked up abruptly and was immediately taken aback.

Egbert? Him again?

Egbert just gave her a glance. There was also a guy standing next to him, probably his assistant.

Eileen quietly moved to the side.

The elevator stopped at the restaurant floor. When Eileen sat down to order, she noticed Egbert had also come to the restaurant, but he went into a private room.

As she was about to head back to her room after eating, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the elevator.

“Wait, hold on!”

Eileen instinctively pressed the elevator door button, and then saw Egbert's assistant, who was helping a very pale Egbert, come in.

"Thanks." The assistant said to Eileen, then quickly looked at his boss, "Mr. Reed, are you okay?"

The man closed his eyes and shook his head, one hand on his forehead.

The assistant was almost in tears, "It's all my fault, I didn't check carefully, I didn't notice that the drink had such a high alcohol content, Mr. Reed, should we go to the hospital? Gilbert said you're allergic to alcohol..."

"It's fine." The man said in a deep voice, interrupting the assistant, but his voice was a bit hoarse.

Eileen, who was standing behind, was a bit surprised. So it was because Egbert was allergic to alcohol. Judging from his voice, the allergic reaction must have been severe.

Suddenly, a loud noise came!

The elevator suddenly went dark and began to shake violently.

"Ah! Mr. Reed!" The assistant shouted.

Eileen, who was standing in the corner, was still trying to figure out what was happening, when suddenly a shadow rushed at her.

She didn't have time to react, so she could only support that person’s body.

She smelled a faint smell of alcohol and realized it was Egbert.

She was about to push him away, but the elevator shook again, and Eileen had no choice but to hold on to him.

After a while, the elevator stopped shaking, and the lights came back on, but the elevator door didn't open, it was still in mid-air.

"Give me a hand here!" Eileen struggled to say.

The assistant quickly came over to help his boss, but found that his boss had closed his eyes and was unconscious.

"Mr. Reed!" The assistant shouted.

Eileen, who was initially a bit impatient, looked at Egbert and her face suddenly changed, "Lay him down."

The assistant was taken aback, "What?"

"Lay him down, on the floor!" Eileen raised her voice.

The assistant hesitated for a moment but quickly laid the man down.

Eileen knelt next to the unconscious man and began to unbutton his jacket.

The assistant was stunned, "Wh...what...what are you doing?"

"Shut up and help!"

Eileen quickly took off the man's jacket and shirt, revealing his smooth and well-defined muscular body. Without hesitation, she crossed her hands and straightened her arms, beginning to perform CPR on his chest.

After a few attempts at CPR, she bent down and put her ear to the man's chest to listen. After a moment, she lifted his head and opened his lips.

The assistant watched in horror, "You...you...you're not going to..."

The next second, the woman lowered her head and her pink lips aimed at the man's slightly warm thin lips.

Their lips touched.

After a full three minutes of artificial respiration and CPR, finally, the man on the ground coughed once, and a look of pain crossed his face.

Seeing him about to wake up, Eileen quickly moved away from him, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and sternly pointed at the assistant, warning him, "Don't let a word of this get out, or you know the consequences!"

The assistant was too scared to say anything.

Egbert had woken up, but the elevator was still not working.

Eileen, as if nothing had happened, walked past the man on the floor, went over to the door and checked the elevator buttons.

The elevator buttons were all off, even the emergency bell couldn't be activated.

The man coughed again.

"Mr. Reed, are you okay? You scared me to death!" The assistant helped Egbert sit up, patting his back while saying, "If anything happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live!"

The man didn't answer, just rubbed his forehead.

His lips were still warm from their kiss.

He looked up at the girl by the door.

Eileen turned around, crossed her arms, and said haughtily, "The elevator is completely broken now, and we can't even contact the security room."

The assistant panicked, "What do we do?" He quickly took out his phone, but found there was no signal. "We need to get Mr. Reed to the hospital ASAP!"

Eileen glanced at Egbert, who was still looking at her. She subconsciously wiped her mouth and said a bit awkwardly, "He should be fine now, he's no longer in danger, it's okay if we can't get him to the hospital right away."

Since the assistant didn't know Eileen, he cautiously asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"Yes." Eileen admitted without hesitation.

The assistant immediately thanked her, "Could you please check Mr. Reed again? I'm sorry to trouble you."

Eileen sighed impatiently, but knelt down and suddenly grabbed Egbert's right hand.

Seeing her taking his pulse, the assistant was startled, "You...you know Eastern medical treatment?"

"What, is there a problem with that?" Eileen glared at him, warning him again, "If you say another word, you're on your own."

The assistant quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't scare him." The weak man leaned against the elevator wall, lowered his head, and said tiredly.

Eileen snorted disdainfully, then rudely let go of his hand, stood up and said, "He's fine."

The assistant was a bit scared of Eileen and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The elevator fell silent. After a few minutes, the light on the elevator button finally turned on, and voices from the security room came from outside, "Is anyone in there?"

Five minutes later, the elevator door finally opened. Eileen was the first to walk out, turned and entered the next elevator, and went up to her own floor.

The next morning, at half-past five, the alarm clock began to ring.

Eileen rolled out of bed, did a quick wash up, then checked her luggage.

Apart from a 4-dollar baby lotion she got from the supermarket, there were no other cosmetics in her luggage. After leaving the Lopez family, all she had to her name was this suitcase and the 4 dollars left in her bank account.

After applying the lotion, she changed clothes and sat quietly in her room.

At six o'clock, the door to the room was gently turned.

Eileen paused slightly, looking at the door.

Moments later, the cameraman outside the door, holding the camera, met the eyes of Eileen who was already fully prepared inside.

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

"You... you're already up." The crew, who had hoped to capture a morning shot of the actress without makeup, now felt a bit awkward.

Eileen blinked, "Didn't you say it starts at six?"

The crew didn’t know what to say. Although they did say that, they didn't expect anyone to actually wake up at six in the morning.

"Since you're already up, let's start with you. In order, we'll draw lots to decide the order, then wake up the other guests in turn. The car leaves at seven, and anyone who doesn't make it will have to find their own way to the first stop."

Eileen responded nonchalantly, then stepped forward to draw lots.

The first lot was drawn by a female star named Phyllis Sankner.

Seeing the room number on the back of the lot, Eileen headed straight for the elevator.

In the elevator, Eileen asked the cameraman, "Has the live broadcast started?"

"Yes, it has."

Eileen glanced at the camera, not saying much.

The elevator quickly arrived at the designated floor. When they reached the door of Phyllis' room, the cameraman aimed the camera at Eileen, hoping to capture her cautious expression.

But Eileen was expressionless, directly placing the room card on the sensor. The door opened, she went in, turned on the light, and said to the person on the bed, "Wake up!"

Her voice was very stern, and her tone was arrogant.

The cameraman was so startled that the camera in his hand shook. He first looked at Eileen in surprise, and then slowly aimed the camera at the woman in the bed.

"Ah, how did you guys get in!" Phyllis, realizing something was wrong, screamed, shrinking into the blanket, covering her face with her hands, "Stop shooting!"

Eileen, arms crossed impatiently, "We're leaving at seven. If you can't get up, find your own way. I've already told you this, I'm leaving."

With that, she left the room with the crew.

Next was to draw the second lot.

It was Hubery's turn.

Well, what a coincidence!
