Chapter 120

The car was cruising down the highway, two entertainment reporters up front being cautiously silent until a man’s voice suddenly emanated from the backseat.

“Would you sit down?” he said.

Glancing through the rearview mirror, the entertainment reporters were startled to find Eileen rummaging through their luggage!

The backseat had access to the trunk. They quivered and stammered, “Eileen, what are you doing?”

Eileen produced two bottles of mineral water, handing one to Egbert while opening one for herself. She casually lifted her head. “I’m thirsty, is that okay?”

Too intimidated to object, the two of them stayed silent.

After a while, hushed voices came from the back again. They turned their heads once more. To their astonishment, Eileen had taken out all the remaining bottles of mineral water and even the chips next to them.

Both of them were dumbfounded!

After twenty minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the hotel’s entrance. As Eileen got out of the car, she reached for her luggage, but Egbert had beaten her to it.

Eileen thought he might struggle to carry it, but he handled it just fine. So, without saying a word, she exited the vehicle. She walked over to the driver’s side and tapped the car window.

The window slid down, and the two entertainment reporters stared at her pitifully. Eileen smiled and said, “Next time, bring something else. I don’t like mineral water; I prefer cola. And I’m not a fan of chips; I like bread and cake. It’d be great if you could also bring some fruit. I love cherries, the expensive kind. Got it?”

The two reporters stared in terror.
