After a while, one after another, actresses went in to audition.
Suddenly, someone took a seat next to Eileen.
Eileen didn't pay much attention, but then she heard the girl next to her say, "Hi, Eileen, I'm your fan. Can I have your autograph?"
Eileen was taken aback, immediately looking up at the girl with a surprised expression.
Seeing Eileen's stern look, the girl became frightened, "No, no, it's okay if you don't want to sign. I'm sorry for bothering you..."
With that, she was about to leave.
"Hold on." Eileen stopped her, asking with some confusion, "Autograph?"
"Yes." The girl quickly presented a notebook, carefully handing it to her.
Eileen was still somewhat puzzled. She signed her name on it with a mix of belief and skepticism, glancing at the girl several times, then carefully handed the notebook back to her.
Both of them seemed cautious.
The girl accepted the notebook, breaking into a happy smile, "Thank you!"
Eileen looked even more surprised.
When the girl left, Eileen gave her chest a light pat, murmuring, "She really wanted my autograph, scared me to death."
In the past, she was criticized online, Twitter was full of negative comments. She had never experienced having fans, nor had anyone asked for her autograph or a photo with her.
And now she had fans without doing anything special?
She even suspected it was a trap just now!
Just as she was thinking about all this, a staff member called her name, "Eileen."
Eileen stood up, about to walk over, when she saw the girl across from her suddenly stand up, making an encouraging gesture, "Eileen, you got this!"
Eileen was speechless.
Eileen walked into the audition room, where there were three people seated in this small room.
In the middle was the director, the producer on the left, and the screenwriter on the right.
Eileen bowed to them, then heard the director in the middle say, "Eileen, aren't you auditioning for the role of Dorothy?"
The original supporting female character was named Dorothy, the mother of the male lead, basically only appearing in the male lead's memories.
Eileen nodded, "I prefer the role of the female lead, Prima, I want to give it a shot."
The director was a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, with a full head of hair, looking like he hadn't been in the industry for long, and hadn't experienced the common hair loss problem of veteran directors.
He leaned back in his chair, glanced at the script, and said nonchalantly, "Then try the second scene."
Twenty minutes later, Eileen came out of the audition room.
Everyone outside turned to look at her.
Eileen didn't care.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Ophelia called, as if she knew exactly when Eileen's audition ended.
"How did it go?" Ophelia asked directly.
Eileen replied, "Not sure, they told me to wait for a call."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, then Ophelia asked again, "How do you feel about it?"
Eileen responded nonchalantly, "I think I did really well. If they don't choose me, that just means they are not capable."
"..." Ophelia took a deep breath, then hung up the phone.
Eileen put away her phone and stood on the sidewalk waiting for a ride, when her phone rang again.
She thought it was still Ophelia, so she answered the phone and asked, "What now?"
"Eileen, you have the nerve to ask me what's up?! Why don't you answer when I call you so many times, where are you now?"
On the other end of the phone, it turned out to be Sarah's voice.
Eileen looked at the caller ID, which displayed the name "Linda".
Linda was the old maid of the Ableson family. Eileen had been with the Ableson family for many years, and the other servants were not very nice to her. Only Linda, who always took care of her.
She had blocked everyone else's phone numbers from the Ableson family, except for Linda.
As it turned out, Sarah was calling her using Linda's phone.
After a moment of silence, Eileen asked into the phone, seeming indifferent, "Can I help you?"
"Come back home now!" Sarah said angrily.
Eileen chuckled, "I can come back, but if you call me back, you better not regret it."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Eileen continued to wait for a ride on the sidewalk, but after a while, no cars passed by.
She let out a sound of discontent, then used an app on her phone to call a cab.
A driver accepted the order, but it was a bit far, so she would have to wait ten minutes.
Eileen decided to check Twitter on her phone.
She hadn't logged into Twitter since she was reborn.
Yesterday Colin said that 99% of netizens were criticizing her, and she didn't feel anything. But today while auditioning, someone cheered her on.
Eileen started to wonder, had her reputation really improved?
But her Twitter DMs were still full of all kinds of nasty messages.
Eileen didn't want to read them. So she cleared all of them with one click, then scrolled down to her last tweet.
That tweet was posted ten days ago, no pictures, just an inspirational quote about how hard work leads to success.
It was posted by her former self.
Under that tweet, there were thirty thousand retweets, sixty thousand comments.
Eileen was a bit surprised, she had turned off Twitter notifications because of all the criticism. Without clicking in, she had no idea how many comments there were.
Had she really become popular?
Thinking this, she clicked open the comments, and saw the top comment read - "Is Eileen still alive today?"
Eileen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The bad bit was that her reputation hadn't improved.
The good bit was...
Eileen stared at the comment for a while, then gave it a like.
Not just a like, she also replied - "If you've got something to say, say more. What's up with my mom? Keep going, are you scared?"
After posting, she scrolled down, most of the comments were criticizing her.
But Eileen seemed quite happy, she liked all the comments that mentioned "mom".
Netizen commented, "Eileen, your mom's ashes are with me. If you don't retire, I'm going to scatter your mom's ashes."
Eileen liked and commented, "Good, do it now, you're not human if you don't!"
Netizen commented,"Eileen, your mom is a dog!"
Eileen gave a thumbs up and commented, "My mom really is a dog. How did you know that?"
Netizen said, "Eileen, your mom got hit by a car and even stuck to the pan during cremation!"
Eileen gave a thumbs up and commented, "Your words are so sweet.. Why don't you write a book? You're way better than any encyclopedia, but I'm done reading."
"Honk honk."
Eileen was responding when the horn of a car suddenly blared.
Looking up, a clean black car was stopped in front of her.
Must be the taxi she called. Eileen pocketed her phone. The car was parked right in front of her, so she couldn't see the license plate or logo. She just walked over, opened the back door, and got in.
The atmosphere in the car immediately turned awkward.
Eileen then saw that there were other people in the back seat. Turning her head, she saw a cold but handsome man next to her, she asked in surprise, "Egbert, what are you doing here?"
Egbert found her question amusing. He chuckled and elegantly leaned back in the black leather seat, "Ms. Lopez, this is my car."
Eileen turned her head and saw two more men, both looking at her, in the driver and passenger seats.
The driver was Egbert's assistant. She had seen him in the elevator.
But the man in the passenger seat was wearing glasses, Eileen didn't recognize him.
"I'm sorry, I think I got in the wrong car." She said and pushed the door open to get out.
But she heard the man behind her lazily say, "Where to? Can I drop you off?"
"Egbert!" The man in glasses in the front seat said discontentedly.
Eileen waved her hand, "No need, I've already called a cab." After saying that, she got out and shut the car door behind her.
Just then, the cab she called arrived. After Eileen got in, the car quickly drove off.
Gilbert, sitting in the passenger seat, glared at the driving assistant discontentedly, "Why did you honk the horn randomly!"
The assistant shrunk his neck, "I saw a familiar face and wanted to say hi. Thanks to Ms. Lopez last time in the elevator, Mr. Reed..."
Egbert in the back seat suddenly coughed, his expression indifferent.
The assistant immediately shut up.
"The elevator, what elevator?" Gilbert looked at the assistant, then at Egbert, his face serious, "Are you guys hiding something from me?!"
The assistant didn't say anything, just shrunk his neck.
Egbert sighed impatiently, "Just drive."
Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen ï¤Chapter 12 As the car drove off, Egbert casually looked out the window at the streets. On a building not far away, it read "PixelPlay Media House".
Was she there for an audition?
Eileen got out of the car and went straight in through the door.
The door was opened by Linda.
Linda was very happy to see Eileen back, but her face immediately turned to worry. She quietly warned her, "The lady is still mad, Miss Eileen, you should apologize to her later."
