Chapter 24
No doubt. Egbert is the best
–[Of course, Egbert is the top dog! Eileen’s got a point and I can’t argue with that |
– isn’t Egbert awesome enough“]
–[How could Kenley ever compete with Egbert? Ten Kenleys don’t even hold a candle to one Egbert, right?]
Eileen noticed Phyllis and Bblythe staring at her dumbfounded She raised her eyebrows Did I say anything wrong? Bblythe, you don’t think that ugly duckling Kenley is hot, do you?”
“Ugly duckling Bblythe was utterly taken aback. She opened her mouth to say something, but words failed her
Eileen then stood up and asked Phyllis, “Are you gonna call the cops?”
Phyllis turned pale as a ghost
Eileen glanced at the camera “Kenley is a bigger deal than you Right now, I bet thore viewers are hurling insults at you than sympathizing with you. They would probably say that you asked for it by dressing scantily. They wouldn’t side with the victim. These netizens only spout nonsense I’ve been there and experienced their online comments I can recite them blindfolded I don’t give a damn. But if you don’t want to be their punching bag, I suggest you call your manager now and discuss whether to get the police involved”
–[Eileen’s words are hilarious. She’s so proud of being the netizens target and even predicts what they re gonna say]
–[Netizens Hahaha we’re gonna trash Eileen all day. Check out our new disses, we’ll definitely scare Eileen this time. Eileen: Cool, I’m studying how you guys roast people]
– [Hahaha Eileen is a riot! This woman has successfully caught my attention!]
– [Calling the police is the best solution, but the manager might not agree. PrismPulse Entertainment is probably busy doing crisis management for Kenley, and they would definitely choose to protect him]
After Eileen spoke, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Phyllis kept her head down and didn’t utter a word. After a long silence, Bblythe finally said, “We can’t count on the company for this.”
She clearly knew how PrismPulse Entertainment operated.
Bblythe hugged Phyllis and turned to Eileen “How about we let her rest for the night and deal with it tomorrow?”
“It’ll be too late by tomorrow” Eileen glared at Phyllis
Looking at Phyllis pitiful state, Eileen coldly said, “The golden hour for crisis management is within the first hour after the incident. If you insist on dragging it out, fine. But when you’re being trashed by netizens, don’t come crying to me. I’ve been there, taken the heat, and I sure as hell can’t save you from the same fate” After finishing her monologue, she went back to her bed, refusing to get involved further.
Phyllis and Bblythe looked at Eileen, but they both remained silent.
Phyllis didn’t sleep a wink that night. The next day. Phyllis got a call. As she listened to the person on the other end, her face changed dramatically.
The production team held an emergency meeting, and Kenley had been rushed to the hospital overnight. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Hubery asked lazily, “Are we still filming the show?”
“The show goes on. The production team replied. “Kenley won’t be participating anymore. Whether Phyllis continues or not is up to her”
All eyes turned to Phyllis in the corner. Everyone assumed she would quit, given what had happened. However, Phyllis announced resolutely, “I will continue with the show!”
Everyone was taken aback.
“Phyllis, are you sure about this?” Bblythe asked incredulously
Phyllis grabbed Bblythe’s hand and gave a bitter smile. “Bblythe, I don’t have a choice. I’ll explain later”
Egbert looked at Phyllis, seeming to have an inkling of her decision. He glanced at Phyllis, then at Eileen.
Eileen was also looking at Phyllis, but when she noticed Egbert’s gaze, she quickly turned to him.
Egbert coldly looked away.
Josiah suddenly asked, “So what do we do now? Will the production team compensate us for the lost money?”
The production team replied, “Absolutely not. The money was given to you. Whether you spent it or lost it, it’s your problem.”
Phyllis felt a deep sorrow and looked apologetically at everyone
The production team then reminded them. “You have 10 minutes left before check–out”
Ten minutes later, the six of them went downstairs with their luggage The elevator was filled with silence.
Phyllis hung her head low, apologizing repeatedly Tim sorry, it’s all my fault
Given what had happened, no one blamed her Josiah sighed. “It’s okay, we’ll figure something out”
But Josiah’s words couldn’t comfort anyone
– [Phyllis should just quit the show. At least she won’t have to take the blame for losing the money]
[The production team really isn’t going to help them? What will they do?]
[Do you think Eileen has a solution?]
-Knowing Eileen, she might.)
–[I don’t know why, but I have a lot of confidence in her]
–
– [What?? You guys trust Eileen?)
– [These netizens are already smitten by Eileen, but they’re too embarrassed to admit they like her. This is their last stand]
– [Hahaha, Im not afraid to say, I like you, Eileen!]
Even the viewers could see the obvious, so the other members of the show must have figured it out too. Right after Phyllis apologized with tears in her eyes, almost everyone immediately turned to look at
Eileen.
The cameraman also slowly aimed the camera at Eileen. It was pretty clear that the entire world was waiting for her to make a decision.
The elevator reached the ground floor, and Eileen was the first to step out, pushing her suitcase. The whole group closely followed her.
Eileen stood at the hotel entrance with a calm look on her face and asked Phyllis, “So, where are we headed now, boss?”
Tears suddenly welled up in Phyllis‘ eyes as she choked out. “Eileen…”
“Stop” Eileen rubbed her arm. “I’m getting goosebumps. Can you speak normally?”
“Eileen…” Phyllis stepped forward, grabbing the hem of Eileen’s clothes. “Please, I need your help.”
Eileen pulled her clothes back. “How about you do me a favor first and shut your mouth?”
Phyllis lowered her head, looking guilty as hell, then suddenly lifted her face and said, “You helped me last night. You even hugged me.”
