– “I’m lost.”

-“What is she babbled about?”

-“If you’re scared, then don’t come!”

“What’s this woman’s name again? So annoying! I want to curse her but can’t find out her name!”

Hedy thought her plan was bulletproof. This guy was a well-known actor, and surely he must be a

gentleman. All she needed to do was

to act a little weak and pitiful. Even though she had made mistakes, she just needed to act cute, which

she was damn good at. She reckoned Egbert would take pity on her and want to protect her in the

future.

After all, which strong man wouldn’t want a woman to rely on him?

Hedy was brimming with confidence, but the look in this man’s eyes was like a dagger. It cut right into

her soul.

It felt like being marked by the Grim Reaper!

His voice was as cold as an ice shard in winter.

“Beat it.”

Hedy was flabbergasted.

Was Egbert telling her to beat it?

She couldn’t believe her ears. “How could you be so rude to a girl you just met? You’re a famous

actor!*

-‘Is she trying to blackmail him?”

– “Her IQ is seriously questionable.”

– “I really want to storm in there and cut her down!”

Egbert’s impatience was becoming palpable.

At that moment, Eileen commented casually. “You really shouldn’t talk to a girl you just met like that.”

As soon as Eileen said this, both Egbert and Hedy turned to her.

Hedy was elated, thinking Eileen was on her side. If she got hurt in the jungle, her parents would

definitely make this jerk pay.

Hedy smirked arrogantly, but then Eileen added, “You shouldn’t talk to her at all. You’re in my house.

Who said you could talk to people like that?”

Egbert stared at Eileen, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

After a moment, he said gently. ‘I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Eileen replied coldly, “As long as you know” then stood up and told Hedy, “You, get out of my house.

The further away, the better. Leave,

now.”

Hedy’s face fell. She ignored Eileen’s insult and retorted, “What do you mean, ‘your house? Is this

jungle yours?”

Eileen laughed. “You dare to talk back?”

Hedy clenched her teeth. She couldn’t leave. Who knew if there would be wolves out there? She

insisted, ‘I’m not leaving!”

Eileen suddenly said, “Fine, you can stay.

Before Hedy could feel relieved, she saw Eileen pick up a burning branch and walk towards her.

“What are you doing?”

Eileen’s eyes sparkled with mischief. She grabbed Hedy’s collar with one hand and set Hedy’s clothes

on fire with the buming branch. Suddenly, Hedy’s clothes were ablaze.

She screamed.

Eileen quickly let go of her.

Hedy frantically beat at her clothes, trying to put out the flames, but to no avail. She ran wildly,

eventually falling to the ground and -rolling around until the fire was finally out.

Hedy was covered in dirt, her clothes half burned off. She stared at Elleen in disbelief, shouting, “You’re

insane!”

Eileen stood aloof, hands in her pockets, saying leisurely, “I said you could stay, but I didn’t say

whether it’d be you or your ashes. I just saved you some trouble by cremating you in advance. Are you

satisfied?”

Hedy was so angry she was on the verge of spitting blood.

Eileen’s gaze turned frosty. “Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Hedy cursed, tears streaming down her face, “You bitch! I won’t let you get away with this! I won’t.”

Eileen moved towards her again.

Hedy, terrified, scrambled to her feet and ran off. She soon vanished from sight.

Eileen scoffed, then turned to look at Egbert.

He watched her calmly, then asked in a soft voice, “Do I need to leave your house too?”

Eileen scratched her head and replied, “You? How could you be like her? How would you survive

without me?” Then she asked, “Have you had dinner?”

Egbert shook his head with a smile, “No.”

“You haven’t eaten, and you’re still laughing?” Eileen turned and went into the hut, rummaged around

for a while, and finally brought out some fruit for him. “Eat these. They’re not the best, but they’ll fill you

up.”

Egbert looked at the fruit and froze.

Eileen noticed his reaction and said displeasedly. “Are you grossed out? So picky. Just peel it and eat

the flesh.”

Egbert didn’t respond, and he just accepted the fruit.

He was about to take a bite when Eileen suddenly snatched it back.

She squatted down, found a stick, skewered it, and said, “Wait until it’s cooked before eating. Once it’s

cooked, the skin will peel off easily. No need to bite it hard.”

Egbert looked down at her, a clear amusement in his eyes. Even though she seemed impatient, she

was still roasting the fruit carefully.

In the jungle at night, the calls of insects and creatures resonated.

Soon, the fruit was cooked.

Eileen handed the fruit to Egbert.

He took it, but it was too hot, and he didn’t know how to eat it.

Seeing his clumsy attempts, Eileen snatched the fruit back and peeled it for him

Then she held the fruit to his mouth and said, ‘Try it.”

Egbert hesitated, then took the fruit and bit into it..

A bitter taste spread on his tongue

He swallowed silently

Just as he was about to take a second bite, Eileen suddenly pulled her hand back.

Egbert looked at her.

Eileen tossed the leftover fruit into the fire.

Then she turned around, took her backpack from the hut, and from it, she pulled out a packet of

compressed biscuits and a bottle of water and handed them to Egbert

Egbert looked at the unopened packet of biscuits and the bottled water, stunned.

– “What?”

– “I don’t get it. What’s happening?”

“What’s the deal?”

-‘Eileen is acting weird all of a sudden.”

-“She’s been eating wild fruits and drinking dew all day, and now she’s giving him her compressed

biscuits and drinking water?” -“Elaine nearly had her hand broken for trying to touch the biscuits, and

now she’s giving these precious biscuits and water to Egbert?”

[So, she just had a simple meal and then gave all the stuff to a guy?]

[That’s such a bummer, Eileen, those were your resources!)
