Chapter 115

After wrapping up a supporting role scene, Galen got a call from Chad.

They had met before but weren’t that close, having only spoken at an after-party.

Galen figured Chad was calling about Teresa. But it turned out that Chad wanted to introduce him to a

screenwriter.

“I already have a screenwriter.” Galen said, confused.

“The screenwriter I’m referring to is Fred.” Chad said calmly.

Galen was taken aback. The script for Eyes on the Rendezvous was inspired by Galen’s reading of

renowned author Fred’s work, Vanishing Riddle. In the early stages of the project, Galen had contacted

Fred to co-write the script, but Fred had been too busy.

Galen wasn’t thrilled with the existing Eyes on the Rendezvous script. He often held meetings with the

writer and creative team for revisions. If Fred really joined the crew… He couldn’t even fathom the

endless possibilities.

After weighing his options, Galen said to Chad, “If you can really convince Fred, I’ll let Teresa’s actions

slide.”

Chad chuckled and said, “We’ll deal with Teresa by the book.”

Galen was stunned. “What?”

“Don’t overthink this, Galen. I’m just a regular viewer, hoping you’ll outperform The Alley. Fred is on her

way; she’ll probably arrive tonight. Oh, and Fred is a woman; she’s my wife.”

Meanwhile.

After hanging up with Chad, Egbert turned to find Eileen engrossed in a video game on the floor. Janice

recommended the game, and Eileen was hooked.

Egbert sat on the sofa behind her. After she cleared a level, Eileen leaned back against Egbert’s legs,

opened her mouth, and said, “Ahhh.”

Egbert fed her a fry. She happily ate it, then sat up and continued playing.

After a while, she turned her head to him again, so he put the straw of her drink in her mouth.

Eileen played for half an hour, during which Egbert served as her snack dispenser.

Finally, Egbert asked, “Do you really think this is how a married couple interacts?”

Eileen didn’t take her eyes off the screen. “Yeah, isn’t feeding each other intimate?”

Egbert sighed. “Have you ever fed me?”

“Oh, come on, don’t be so petty.” After clearing another level, Eileen set her controller down to feed

Egbert, only to find that all the snacks were gone.

She sheepishly said, “I’ll have Janice get more”

As she was about to leave the room, Egbert pulled her onto his lap and held her tightly. Eileen

instinctively tried to resist but remembered they were pretending to be married, so she decided to stay.

Egbert hadn’t expected her to finally get it. He was about to say something when Eileen said, “It’s

almost six, and we haven’t had dinner yet. Where should we eat tonight?”

Egbert let go of her instantly.

They ate seafood for dinner. Coastal city’s seafood was famously delicious. The streets were empty by

the time they finished and started their walk back.

With his mask on, Egbert took a leisurely walk with Eileen. The dim streetlights and the soft breeze

made for a peaceful stroll.

“What are you thinking about?” Egbert asked.

“I’m wondering why you’re so frugal since you’re not willing to hail a cab.” Eileen replied.

Egbert turned to look at her. “Aren’t we supposed to be building our relationship?”

Eileen sighed. “Does building a relationship require a walk? We’re going to be hungry again after

walking such a long way.”

Egbert stopped and waited for a taxi.

“What are you doing?” Eileen asked.

“Didn’t you want a taxi?” Egbert answered calmly.

Eileen was speechless. “We’ve walked so far; why take a taxi now? We’re almost there; why waste the

money? Let’s keep walking.” Egbert was dumbfounded. He now understood why people said that

women change their minds faster than they flip a book.

Back at the hotel, Eileen took a shower and then headed for Egbert’s room. He had also showered.

They planned to watch a romantic movie together. The movie was so romantic that they decided to

watch it with the lights off.

Ten minutes in.

Egbert turned his head to look at the sleeping girl beside him. He rubbed his tired eyes, turned down

the voluine of the movie, and went to get a blanket. Just as he sat down, the girl woke up..

Eileen sleepily opened her eyes and saw Eghert..

Egbert put the blanket aside and said, “Go back to sleep.”

Elleen sat up and stretched, saying, “I’m fine; I’m a pro!”

hert didn’t say anything. He opened the blanket and covered her with it.

wrapped in the blanket, Eileen continued to watch the movie, trying to leam about love. –

deep again.

Egbert sighed and adjusted the blanket that had slipped off her. But this small movement woke her up

again.

Eileen sat on the couch, hugging her knees.

She finally realized that she might not like romantic movies anymore.
