Chapter 1233: Eileen’s Unexpected Transformation

After arriving in Dortmund at night, they did not bother Eileen. It was only the next morning that Gao Yang called her.

“Hi, Eileen, we’re in Dortmund.”

“Okay, are you at the airport? I’ll come to pick you up.”

“No, we’re at the hotel. You can come find us here.”

Eileen didn’t say much. After a brief pause, she replied in a serious tone, “Alright, lunch will be at my house, just me and my mom. In the evening, we’re going to watch the game, so no dinner at home. Be prepared, I’ll come pick you up.”

After clarifying where, she hung up the phone. Gao Yang turned to Yelena and Rafael and said, “Eileen invited us to her house for lunch. Should we prepare something, like buy a small gift or something?”

Rafael nodded but immediately showed a strange expression and said, “Boss, I remember you mentioning that Yelena’s father is some kind of lieutenant general?”

Gao Yang shrugged and gave a bitter smile, “That’s right, but luckily, it’s just Eileen and her mom at home, so we don’t need to worry too much.”

Rafael let out a breath of relief and said gravely, “That’s good. Honestly, I never thought I’d be going to Eileen’s house, but knowing her father isn’t there, I feel a lot more at ease.”

Gao Yang also chuckled awkwardly, then waved his hand and said, “Alright, we haven’t prepared any gifts, but it’s fine, no need to buy anything either. After all, they’re not outsiders. When Eileen comes to pick us up, we’ll just grab something along the way. Knowing Eileen’s personality, I bet she’ll be here within twenty minutes max.”

Twenty minutes later, Eileen still hadn’t shown up or called. Gao Yang couldn’t help but wonder aloud, “This isn’t right. Why is Eileen dawdling today? This isn’t like her.”

Rafael chuckled, “Maybe she’s farther away than expected. I guess she’ll probably arrive in five minutes.”

But as it turned out, fifty minutes passed, and Eileen still hadn’t arrived, nor did she call.

At this point, both Gao Yang and Rafael were getting restless. The two exchanged glances. Although it felt somewhat impolite to call and ask Eileen why she hadn’t arrived yet, given their relationship, it didn’t really matter anymore. So, Gao Yang called Eileen for the second time.

“Hi, Eileen, is everything okay on your end?”

“Oh, sorry, something came up here. Please wait for me a bit longer; I’ll be there very soon.”

Eileen hurriedly hung up, leaving Gao Yang holding the phone with a bewildered expression. Yelena couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on? Is there a problem?”

Gao Yang shook his head slowly and said, “No problems, but it’s very unusual.”

Rafael also looked serious and said, “Yeah, very unusual!”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Eileen said to wait for her a bit longer; she’ll be here soon. Let’s just keep waiting.”

Another half hour went by, and just as Gao Yang was about to lose his patience again, Eileen finally called.

“Gao, I’ll be at the hotel very soon. Wait for me in the lobby, and when I get there, we’ll leave directly.”

Gao Yang stood up, waved his hand, and said loudly, “Eileen’s here! Let’s go to the lobby and wait for her.”

Leaving the bodyguards waiting in the hotel, Gao Yang and the three of them headed to the couches in the lobby to wait for Eileen. After only a few minutes, a black BMW sedan stopped outside the glass revolving door of the hotel. All three of them glanced over.

A long-haired woman stepped out of the car, and as they saw it was a woman, Gao Yang and the others quickly withdrew their gaze.

With Yelena by his side, Gao Yang had no interest in looking at other women, but Rafael was different. Men, of course, are often interested in beautiful women.

Gao Yang turned his head and was chatting with Yelena when Rafael, sitting next to him, started persistently nudging his arm. Gao Yang glanced at him, then at the blonde woman walking into the lobby, and saw no one else. He lowered his voice, “What are you doing?”

Rafael stared wide-eyed, speechless, as if he hadn’t even heard Gao Yang’s question. He just kept pushing him.

“What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, Gao Yang’s other arm was being shaken as well. He turned to look at Yelena, only to see her staring wide-eyed like she’d seen a ghost, her gaze fixed straight ahead while still pushing Gao Yang.

Gao Yang looked toward the entrance once more. This time, he first saw no one, but when his gaze swept over the doorway, it landed back on the blonde woman.

Focusing more closely, Gao Yang suddenly jumped up from the couch, staring slack-jawed at the woman walking toward him and stammering, “Eileen… Eileen? Eh? Eileen!”

The long-haired blonde beauty stood in front of Gao Yang, giving a sweet smile before softly saying, “Hi, Boss. Hi, Yelena. Hi, Rafael. Good to see you all.”

Eileen’s hair cascaded down her shoulders in an elegant, flowing style. She was wearing a white knitted long coat on her upper body, black over-the-knee stockings on her legs, and flat black leather shoes on her feet.

Between the white coat and the black stockings, about ten centimeters of her pale thighs were exposed, which did look quite alluring.

Eileen’s face wasn’t particularly small, but her nose was quite high, her eyes were green, and the lines of her face were somewhat angular. Her cheeks, forehead, and chin all had defined features. If this face were combined with long flowing hair, it would exude an air of strength. However, if it were paired with a shaved head, it’d easily be mistaken for a man’s.

Gao Yang had gotten used to Eileen’s shaved or nearly shaved head, but now, Eileen not only had long hair—it seemed she’d done makeup too.

Yes, Eileen had actually put on makeup.

Her makeup was subtle, with light eyeshadow and bright red lipstick that was undeniably seductive.

Eileen’s figure was actually quite good. She stood 177 cm tall and weighed just over 70 kilograms, which might sound heavy, but she didn’t look overweight because her weight came mostly from muscle.

Importantly, Eileen’s muscles weren’t the bulky, bodybuilder type, but evenly distributed and proportionate. Though she had six-pack abs, and exposed arms might make her muscles seem too pronounced, wearing clothes made her look entirely different.

Even Eileen could look stunning—at least to Eastern aesthetics. This caught Gao Yang off guard and left him momentarily stunned.

“Your… your hair?”

“Oh, it’s a wig.”

“Your outfit…”

“I just wanted to try a new style.”

“This… you even did makeup!”

“Yes, I already told you, I wanted a new style.”

After a few unremarkable exchanges between Eileen and Gao Yang, Yelena sincerely remarked, “Eileen, you look beautiful.”

Eileen smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for the compliment. Alright, everyone, we should get moving now. Please.” (To be continued.
