Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 155

Then he went back to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and started washing the vegetables.

The kitchen in this tiny apartment was really small, which was a bit crowded with two people in it.

After Eileen finished chopping the vegetables, she turned to get a plate and bumped into Egbert.

Their arms were pressing against each other.

Egbert turned to look at her. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Eileen pointed and said, “Hand me that plate.”

Egbert handed her the plate.

After a while, Eileen came back over.

Seeing that Egbert had his hands full, she reached over him to grab a fork from the other side.

Egbert’s large frame made it difficult for her to move.

Eileen had to lean over and stretch her arm, pressing against Egbert’s body, just to reach the fork.

Egbert straightened up a bit at that moment, and Eileen instinctively stepped aside to avoid him.

Egbert gently supported her slim waist with one hand, and handed her the fork with the other.

Eileen glanced at his palm on her waist and immediately said, “Don’t touch me! Your hand is wet, making my clothes wet too!”

Egbert chuckled, and then he placed the fork in her hand.

Eileen took the fork, turned around, and stirred the vegetables in the plate.

Then Egbert took out an egg.

There was a loud “crack”.

Eileen turned her head just in time to see Egbert crack the egg too hard, causing the shell to fall into the egg mixture.

Eileen and Egbert went silent.

Eileen was a bit annoyed, “Didn’t you say you knew how to cook?”

Egbert calmly turned around, intending to dump the egg mixture, while explaining, “I accidentally did that.”

Eileen stopped him and frowned, “Why are you throwing it away? You’re wasting food!”

After saying that, she used the fork to fish out the broken eggshell.

Egbert reached out to take it.

Eileen dodged him and said, “You should just go sit down. You’re too clumsy.”

Egbert didn’t say anything, just extended his hand, and then suddenly grabbed both of Eileen’s hands.

Eileen froze.

Egbert looked at her, then took the fork and egg mixture from her.

He then said, “I’ll do it the way you just did. You go do something else.”

Eileen lowered her hands, wiped them on her clothes, and then he said, “Fine.”

It took a while before Egbert seemed somewhat proficient.

While Eileen was deveining the shrimp, she asked Egbert to add some salt to the soup.

Egbert did as she instructed.

When Eileen finished with the shrimp and tasted the soup…

She found that the soup was so sweet.

Eileen was speechless.

Eileen looked at the sugar and salt on the side, and she angrily asked Egbert, “Can’t you tell the difference between sugar and salt?”

Egbert was somewhat embarrassed.

An hour and a half later, dinner, a simple one, was finally ready.

Eileen cet the food on the table, took off her apron, and said to Egbert, “Despite all the difficulties, thanks to your help, we finally managed to get dinner ready.”

Egbert was speechless,

Eileen laughed again, waved her hand, and said, “It’s okay, I’m not mad. You gave me a phone, so I can put up with some of your flaws. If you hadn’t given me a phone though, I would have been mad at you!”

Since it was Christmas Eve, Eileen took some pictures before eating, planning to post them on Twitter.

She was thrilled about her new phone.

Eileen took a ton of pictures.

Then she added a caption, Merry Christmas, and tweeted it.

Egbert waited for a moment before asking, “Done?”

Once Eileen saw the successful post notification, she put her phone aside and said, “Done, let’s eat.”

Eileen and Egbert then started to enjoy their meal, but there was a buzz online.

Ophelia was also having dinner with her family. Halfway through, she got a call from her company.

“Ophelia, something big happened!”

Ophelia’s face turned serious, “What happened?”

“Quick, check Twitter. Eileen just tweeted a Merry Christmas!”

Ophelia immediately refuted, “Merry Christmas! Is she crazy… wait, what’s wrong with this tweet?”

The caller couldn’t explain, “Just check her tweet yourself!”

Ophelia opened Twitter and clicked on the tweet.

She was dumbfounded when she saw the content…

Eileen did tweet a Merry Christmas, but it wasn’t just a Merry Christmas tweet!

Queen Eileen: Merry Christmas.

Tweet from: Egbert Anniversary Edition 220 Phone.

Ophelia Was totally speechless.

Every tweet comes with a source tag, showing where the tweet was posted from.

For example, if it was posted from a web browser, it would show, Tweet from: Web Browser.

Whatever model of phone was used to post the tweet, it would show under the tweet.

So, her phone model was fully displayed when she tweeted:

Ophelia félt dizzy, she leaned against the wall to steady herself, took a deep breath, then dared to check the comments.

The tweet was posted fifteen minutes ago, and it already had 10k retweets and 40k comments.

Top comment:

-[As we all know, there’s only one of this phone in the world. It’s a special custom model given to Egbert by the manufacturer. Three months ago, Egbert retweeted an endorsement ad with this phone.]

-[Okay, we get it. You’re spending Christmas with Egbert, and you’re tweeting from his phone. Is there anything else you want to tell us? Spit it out.]

Are they just friends?]

-[What’s wrong with being friends? Friends can turn into lovers!]

Ophelia didn’t have the time to overthink things. She immediately got in touch with the company, urging them to swiftly take action and manage the rumor mill with PR and marketing campaigns!

Once she caught a breather, she dialed Eileen straight away.

Eileen was in the middle of chowing down her meal, but picked up the call with food still in her mouth.

She barely lifted the phone to her ear when a roar from the other end blasted out, “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Eileen was taken aback, clueless as to why Ophelia was so fired up this time. She cautiously asked, “What did I do?”

Ophelia barked, “What the hell was that tweet about! I’ve told you, you can’t handle Twitter on your own! Look what you’ve done! How are you gonna fix this!!

Indeed, Eileen had sent out a tweet, but she thought there was nothing wrong with what she posted.

Even wishing everyone a Merry Christmas is off-limits?

Feeling wronged, she opened Twitter, only to discover that the tweet she just sent was topping the trending list.

Eileen was taken aback. She clicked on her profile,

And there it was, under her username, the words “Egbert Anniversary Edition 220 phone” were glaringly obvious.

Eileen jumped out of her skin. She hadn’t noticed this before!

“We’re screwed!”

Eileen couldn’t help blurting out, “Now the whole world knows I’m using an Egbert phone! What should I do?”
