Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 124

“You…” Hubery was so angry he couldn’t speak. “Stop making excuses! If you didn’t want to see me, why are you on this show?”

Eileen couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you get something twisted? Do you think you’re some big shot? That I have to go around you every time I step out? You think your presence matters that much?”

“You… you… you…” Hubery was choked up by her words.

Just then, a staff member came over. He cautiously said, “Mr. Hubery… Miss Eileen.

Eileen looked at the staff member. She calmly said, “Don’t put my name together with his. It not only makes me sick, but I also fear he might go balistic and attack me at any moment.”

The staff member was petrified by her words.

Eileen turned to Hubery. “We’ve been filming all day, and I’m exhausted. But let me remind you one last time, don’t spew that shit again. If you need to take a dump, go find a place to do it.”

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving behind a stunned staff member and a furious Hubery.

The filming continued the next day. Today was song selection and team formation

Eileen sat quietly on the side. When filming ended, it was still early. The director came over to explain the next steps to the stars.

The four coaches were free to leave and return a week later for the first stage performance. However, the three celebrity coaches had to stay. The celebrity coaches were closer to the contestants, less authoritative and more like friends.

The remaining celebrity coaches had to check the dance practice rooms daily to see how the contestants were doing. When Eileen went to check, she was accompanied by the lead dance and music teachers.

The first practice room they visited was Hedy’s. Seeing Eileen, Hedy’s face changed a bit, but she quickly composed herself and continued dancing.

Eileen noticed that Hedy’s dancing seemed strained, which made her laugh.

The lead dance teacher then asked, “Miss Lopez, you seem to know how to dance. Would you like to give them some pointers?”

Eileen shook her head. “No thanks, wouldn’t that be helping them for free?”

The dance teacher was speechless.

They didn’t stay long in this room and moved on to the second one. In the second room, Eileen saw Karin.

Karin was not the core of this group.

This group consisted of five B-level female contestants. Four were from the same company, and only Karin was not. Karin was always marginalized. She stood in the corner but danced the best.

Eileen’s gaze was mostly on her.

After a performance, the other four girls came over to Eileen and asked, “Miss Lopez, what do you think of our dancing?”

Eileen remembered the show’s requirement, to encourage the contestants. But Eileen said, “Your dancing is below par. It’s not extremely terrible, but it’s hard to watch.”

The four girls were silent.

The lead dance and music teachers were also silent.

The four girls were somewhat disgruntled. One of them scoffed and said, “We’ve only been practicing for a day.”

Eileen looked at her. “This dance is as simple as one plus one. A day of practice should be more than enough. If you can’t dance well, why can others?”

The girl looked wronged and suddenly covered her mouth, starting to cry. The other three girls immediately went to comfort her. They also started crying. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

They deliberately cried in front of the camera. Even though their performance was not good, they were the victims who needed sympathy because they had been criticized.

Eileen was dumbfounded. She curiously asked the lead dance teacher, “Is it starting already? I heard that on talent shows, it doesn’t matter if you can’t dance well, as long as you cry beautifully. But their crying is not pretty at all, no tears even came out. Should we get them some eye drops?”

The lead dance and music teachers were speechless.

After some discussion, Eileen was led away. Before leaving, Eileen glanced at Karin again. She found that Karin was also looking at her. The short-haired girl’s eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were tinged with shy blushes.

Eileen found it intriguing. This girl looked cool but was surprisingly shy.

A week passed quickly. During this time, Eileen visited the practice rooms daily. She now clearly knew who was likely to be eliminated and who had the potential and was diligent.

In Hedy’s team, except for Hedy, the other four girls had A-level skills.

Unfortunately, no matter how much potential they had, they had to abide by the arrangements of the capital, including accepting Hedy’s flaws.

As for Karin’s team, except for Karin, no one else stood out.

And the other teams were a mixed bag. There were hypocrites and hardworking kids.

On the day of the stage performance, five hundred audience members came. The four coaches were also present. The stage was beautifully decorated.

Eileen sat in the celebrity coach’s seat.

The other two celebrity coaches asked her, “Miss Lopez, who do you think will be eliminated?”

Today, twenty people would be eliminated. Fifteen of them would be taken by the celebrity coaches to join the three teams led by them.

Eileen looked at the profiles of over twenty dance groups in her hand. She casually pointed out a few. “They had problems during practice.”

The two celebrity coaches nodded. “These two are not good at singing and often went off-key. They are likely to be in danger.”

Today’s performance would be broadcasted live, not dubbed over in post-production. This increased the difficulty of the contestants’ performances.

The stage performance started, featuring both passionate and cute dances. Some showed off their sexy charm, and some displayed their cute and lively side.

By the time it was Hedy’s team’s turn to perform, Hedy had improved a bit from practice but was still underperforming. Especially when her teammates were all so talented, both in singing and dancing.

With four A-level girls as her backdrop, little did she know, she was made to look like a resurrected zombie, stiffly dancing there.

However, no matter how terrible Hedy’s dance was, the comments were always positive. All four coaches gave A-level evaluations.

After the coaches finished their evaluations, the host, as usual, turned the topic to the celebrity coaches. The host kindly asked, “Do the three celebrity coaches think there is anyone in this team that you might consider?”

The microphone was first passed to Eileen.

Eileen looked at the five people on stage and thought for a moment. “The four girls who are not in the center position all dance well and sing pretty decently, they should not be eliminated. As for the one at the center, I hope she won’t be eliminated either, because I really want to know how many more jokes she could potentially produce.”

“Wow!” The audience erupted in an instant.
