Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 116

Finally, Egbert managed to herd Eileen off to bed.

The next day.

Eileen arrived on set to find that a new scriptwriter had joined the crew.

Before starting work. Galen suggested a casual gathering to introduce the new scriptwriter to everyone.

As Eileen approached, she heard a clear and efficient female voice from the slightly ajar rest room door. “Hertha’s screen time needs to be halved, and Joyce’s screen time needs to be increased by two-thirds. The way the plot is handled also needs to change; ‘Eyes on the Rendezvous’ has too much of a ‘Vanishing Riddle’ vibe.”

Vanishing Riddle’ was a famous mystery drama. Eileen knew that after ‘Eyes on the Rendezvous’ aired, some media commentary channels would probably say that the plot was very similar to ‘Vanishing Riddle.

But why reduce Hertha’s screen time and increase Joyce’s?

Eileen knocked on the door.

The voices inside paused, and then Galen’s voice came out. “Come in.”

Eileen pushed the door open and walked in.

Upon entering, she saw Galen, the scriptwriter, and a strikingly beautiful woman in conversation.

This woman was seemingly in her thirties; she had long hair draped over her shoulders and a standout aura. The voice just now must have been hers.

Galen asked, “Where’s Egbert?”

Eileen, clutching her script, sat down on a folding chair and replied. “He’s in the restroom. He’ll be here in a bit.”

Galen didn’t say anything else. He turned to the unfamiliar woman and introduced her. “This is Eileen, the actress playing Joyce.”

Then he said to Eileen, “This is Fred, the new co-scriptwriter and art director.”
