Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 27

Eileen sighed, slowly dropping her hand, and saying helplessly. “It’s nothing”

The man took his eyes off her, gave a cold laugh, and walked away without another word. It was only after he had entered the room and closed the back door that Eileen began to regret it.

In fact, after spending some time together, she no longer found Egbert as off–putting as she initially did. On the contrary, when everyone else was against her, only Egbert stood by her side, albeit coldly.

Eileen didn’t know what kind of person he really was, but in her eyes, this aloof movie king was surprisingly easy to be around.

The only problem was, when he got angry, just like his “movie king” status, no amount of sweet–talking could appease him.

She admitted what she said last night was totally out of line. But Egbert didn’t have to hold a grudge for so long, did he?

“He really has a bad temper, she grumbled. The cold wind was making her feel chilly, and Eileen was in no mood to stroll around any longer, so she turned around and ran back.

Just as she opened the back door, she bumped into someone.

“Watch it, why are you always so jittery? Like a kid.” the person laughed.

Hubery, with a mocking smile on his handsome face, said, “Eileen, I’ve missed you”

Eileen scoffed, “Are you sick or something?”

“You’re still pretending to hate me, huh? I’ve checked, there are no cameras here, no one around, you don’t have to pretend to hate me. Eileen, can we talk privately?”

Eileen gave a nonchalant laugh, glancing at Hubery’s face. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?”

“Let’s talk outside.” Saying this, he
