Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 60

For the next couple of days, Eileen was all-in, busting her chops on the filming of Fancy Island.

The shoot was jam-packed.

Eileen was completely engrossed in her work, Saul’s glum figure only occasionally visible when she lifted her head during breaks. But a few days later, he was nowhere to be seen.

Eileen didn’t mind. In fact, she thought that was for the best, saving her the trouble of having to dodge him.

But, thanks to Saul’s frequent appearances, coupled with Eileen’s loud reprimand that day, the whole crew now knew that Bartley and Saul were brothers.

Bartley’s status on set shot up instantly. Before, some of the staff didn’t care too much for him because he often struggled to get the shots right. But now, no one dared to complain.

Bartley’s attitude towards others remained as it was before, and he didn’t act all high and mighty. But occasionally, Eileen noticed a flash of coldness in his eyes when someone tried to suck up to him. Before she could catch a second glimpse, he was back to being the polite, diligent young man again.

A month of shooting flew by.

Eileen had been shuttling between the hotel and the set every day, having little contact with the outside world.

Until one day, she bumped into Egbert at the entrance of Cinema City.

Egbert had just stepped out of his car. He was wearing a dark coat, a white turtleneck sweater underneath, and a face mask. He was carrying a little girl in a white wool dress.

The little girl was only two or three years old, her features indistinct.

They entered through the back door.

Eileen didn’t pay much mind, but she ran into them again in the elevator.

Eileen stood at the elevator door, debating whether or not to get in.

Just as the doors were about to close, Egbert’s slender finger pressed the open door button.

“Aren’t you getting in?” His voice was as cold as eyer.

Eileen pursed her lips and finally stepped in.

The elevator doors closed. When Eileen was about to press her floor, she noticed that Egbert had already pressed it. She withdrew her hand and stuffed them both into her pockets.

“I haven’t seen you around lately.” Wanting to break the awkward silence in the elevator, Eileen initiated a conversation.
