Chapter 100
Egbert tailed the jeep, and when they reached the training ground, he saw everyone resting. Over thirty guards were sitting on the ground, forming a circle, with two soldiers sparring in the middle.
“Nice! Good fight!”
From a distance, Egbert heard Eileen’s cheer. Upon a closer look, Eileen was standing between two hunky guys, chatting amicably with them, and cheering for the guys in the ring.
Egbert’s face immediately darkened. He calmly walked over.
Eileen was having a great time. Seeing Egbert coming, she immediately waved and shouted, “Egbert! Over here!”
Egbert frowned.
Eileen moved aside a bit and made a spot for Egbert, gesturing to the ground, “Come sit here. This is the VIP section.”
Egbert silently walked up to her, extended his hand and gestured, “Let’s go back.”
Eileen giggled, held Egbert’s hand, and tried to pull him down.
Eh, why won’t he move? Eileen looked in confusion at the tall and composed man in front of her.
Egbert and Eileen locked eyes for a moment, and in the end, he sighed and sat down.
Eileen tilted her head to look at him.
Egbert pursed his lips and said, “You left without saying a word. Do you know everyone was worried about you?”
Eileen was taken aback, “Right! I told Major Warner when I went out.” She couldn’t just leave the base, she had to have permission from her superiors, so she had reported to Major Warner.
Egbert didn’t say anything.
Eileen laughed and said, “You’re really strong.”
Egbert still didn’t say anything.
Then the match in the ring was decided, and everyone began to cheer.
Eileen quickly joined in the cheer, “Nice! Good fight! Well done!”
The winning soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Eileen, his face turning red with shyness.
Egbert’s face darkened even more. He asked coldly, “Do you know him?”
Eileen whispered, “Not really, but I want to fit in with them. If I don’t do this, they won’t take me to their night training.”
In the end, Egbert put on a brave face and stayed with Eileen until the morning training of the other guards was over.
Eileen sat in the car, leaning against the window and looking longingly at the soldiers running outside, mumbling, “I want to run too.”
Egbert said lightly, “No.”
Eileen turned to look at him.
Egbert frowned, “Buckle up.”
Eileen obediently sat down, buckled up, and then looked at Egbert. She didn’t understand why Egbert was so upset.
The car quickly reached the base.
As soon as Eileen got in, she was surrounded by others. They pulled her and asked questions.
Eileen looked back and saw that Egbert had also gotten out of the car, but he didn’t come over, instead he walked in a different direction.
Everyone was relieved when they found Eileen.
In the afternoon, the production team came to ask again, asking those who had finished, whether they wanted to go back to their country or stay.
Eileen definitely wanted to stay. As she was about to answer, Egbert was the first to break the silence, “Let’s go back.”
Eileen responded, don’t want to go back…”
“You’re going back too.” Egbert interrupted her, saying it without hesitation.
Eileen frowned, “Why do I have to go back? I don’t want to go back.”
Egbert looked at her and suddenly asked, “Where’s your phone?”
Eileen was stunned. Her phone was still in her suitcase. Their luggage had been confiscated before, and it was not returned by the production team until they left yesterday. But Eileen hadn’t checked her
phone because it had automatically turned off due to low battery, and she had no desire to charge it since she had no friends or family, and no one would be looking for her anyway.
Egbert said, “Go check it.”
Still puzzled, Eileen went back to the tent to check her phone.
Ten minutes later, Eileen came out, looking dejected.
Eddie happened to pass by and saw her. He asked her in confusion, “What’s wrong? Feeling down?”
Eileen said gloomily, “Yeah.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Eddie quickly asked, “What happened?”
Eileen said in frustration, “My agent called. He said six reality shows, eight TV dramas, and three movies want to work with me. They want me to go back and choose now. Sigh.”
Eddie was speechless. If it weren’t for Eddie’s decency, he would have been disgusted with Eileen right then and there. He turned his head, decided to ignore Eileen, and just walked away.
Eileen looked up and searched around the camp, but she couldn’t find Egbert. She wanted to know how he knew someone had contacted her?
In the end, Eileen, Egbert, and Eddie all took the same flight back to their home country. After the plane landed, when they got off, Egbert and Eddie headed for the VIP exit, while Eileen confidently walked towards the regular exit.
Eddie called her, “Hey, this way.”
Eileen casually said, “It’s okay, no one knows me.”
However, when she just got to the exit, she saw a large crowd outside, all holding signs with her name on them.
As soon as she appeared, the crowd erupted in cheers.
“She’s out, she’s out!”
“Eileen!”
“Eileen! Eileen!”
“Ah, Eileen, Eileen!!!”
Eileen was stunned, standing in place. At this moment, Egbert came over. Because of his appearance, the fans waiting for pickup outside immediately
went wild.
“Ah! Egbert! The award-winning actor!”
Egbert frowned, he took Eileen, who was still in a daze, and led her towards the VIP exit on the other side. The cheers behind them got farther and farther away. Eileen was still in a daze listening to the fading cheers.
“Eileen.” Egbert’s steady voice echoed in her ear.
She came back to her senses, looked at Egbert with a dazed expression.
Egbert noticed something was off about her and held her hand tighter, asking, “What’s up?”
Eileen turned around, looking at the long narrow corridor behind her. After a moment, she asked with difficulty, “Are they… my fans?”
Egbert replied, “Of course.”
Eileen pursed her lips, not saying anything more. She looked down at her hand. The back of her right hand was flawless, with no trace of any surgery.
In her past life, once when she got off a plane, there were a lot of people waiting for her. But they were not her fans. They had a bottle of acid and threw it
at her.
She blocked it with her luggage. But due to the close proximity, the back of her hand was burned. She had to undergo surgeries to fix it.
Eileen shook off her daze, and then, she suddenly jumped up, excitedly hugging Egbert’s shoulders and saying, “I actually have real fans! I’m awesome!”
Egbert looked at the girl’s bright smiling face with deep gazes, but his brow furrowed. Why was there a flicker of sadness in her eyes just now? It seemed like she was upset.
“Yep.” Egbert suddenly gripped Eileen’s hand tighter, leading her forward and saying, “You are really great, you have fans who truly love you, and in the future, even more people will love you.
