Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 99

Major Warner had had it with Eileen.

He walked briskly, but Eileen trailed behind him like a shadow.

Major Warner turned around and said, “I’ve already made the call for you, and I have also asked the financial department of the TV station. They said your prize money will be sent after the advertisers clear this round of business expenses. You stalking me won’t speed things up.”

Hands in her pockets, Eileen stubbornly retorted, “They told me you’re the big cheese. If not you, who should I badger?”

Major Warner was irate, “You nagging me won’t do squat. I’m not the one with the cash.”

Eileen didn’t reply, just kept tailing him. Finally Major Warner led Eileen to the show director, attempting to pass the buck, “He’s the director. Bug him.”

Eileen’s gaze immediately switched to the director.

The director, already aware of the situation, hurriedly defended, “What power does a director have? The one with the most power is certainly the person in charge. They’re the ones who coordinate with all parties and allocate resources.”

Eileen’s gaze switched back to Major Warner.

In the end, Major Warner had no other choice but to make another call back home to inquire about the quickest possible time for the prize money to be disbursed.

After some calculations, the finance department conservatively estimated, “At the soonest, three months.”

Major Warner relayed the news to Eileen, who was taken aback, “Three months at the earliest?”

Major Warner replied, “There’s a process to prize money disbursement. Have you ever seen it handed out lickety-split?”

Eileen was utterly frustrated.
