His Eagle Eyes on Me

Courtney saw her message and replied instantly. [When are you free? I'll take you clothes shopping!]

[I'm going to see Hayden tomorrow, so how about the day after tomorrow?] Shelly replied.

[I'm free anytime, so just let me know! Or you can tell me your measurements, and I'll buy your clothes!]

[Courtney, I feel a bit hesitant now. I'm sure I won't measure up in terms of beauty when compared to others, so I don't think that I need to dress up too extravagantly. Just looking slightly more formal than usua should be enough.]

[Why do you think you won't measure up to others? When you go for the team building, you'll be with his company's employees. How can you possibly fall short compared to them?] Courtney argued. [The female employees in his company are all elegant and beautiful. I saw a few of them when I visited his office, and they were all so stunning.] Shelly replied.

[You find everyone beautiful only because you see beauty in every person you lay your eyes on. Maybe others also think you're gorgeous!]

Courtney's response made Shelly laugh, and she did not feel as nervous anymore.

After a while, Shelly replied. [Let's wait for Hayden to send me the details! If it involves activities like mountain climbing, I'll buy some sportswear."

[You're being too straightforward. I'm sure there will be women wearing high heels even if there are outdoor activities.]

[I can't do that. I'm afraid of spraining my ankle. How I feel is more important than attracting men's attention.]

[Maybe Hayden likes your genuine nature!] typed Courtney and added after a few moments' pause, [Why don't you just go shopping for clothes with Hayden? Let him help you choose. Wouldn't that be better?] Shelly immediately recalled the time when she went shopping with Hayden, and her face turned red in an instant.

[I don't like going shopping with him.] Shelly replied.

[Why not? Have you two gone shopping together? Why didn't you tell me? Did something happen between you two that I don't know about?]Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

[We haven't gone shopping alone. He took Audrey shopping, and I accompanied them. He likes to buy things randomly without considering if they're suitable or necessary.] Shelly explained.

Courtney burst into laughter and

typed, [That's because he's not short of money! He is not like us ordinary people who have to compare prices at different stores and hesitate for half an eternity before paying!]

[You've never compared prices, have you? I've never seen you hesitate every time you use your card.] Shelly retorted.

[I do hesitate, alright. I just don't hesitate for long, so you've never noticed.]

[Okay, fine! In any case, I'm not that close to him. I feel awkward asking him to go shopping with me. Plus, if I go shopping with him, he definitely won't let me spend money.] Shelly typed. [Isn't it a good thing if he doesn't let you spend money? If I were you, I'd immediately invite him out to have fun.] Courtney replied.

[That's why you should invite him out more often and help him relax! What if he gets exhausted from work? People should not only know how to make money but also know how to enjoy life!]

[Courtney, he's a very busy man.]

Shelly was instantly rendered speechless as she realized that Courtney's words made sense, but she was too shy to ask Hayden to go shopping with her, so she decided to go to sleep for the moment.

She slept through the entire afternoon, and by the time she woke up, Hayden had already left.

"Hayden wanted to leave after you

woke up, but you were so soundly asleep, so told him to just go home." Mrs. Taylor served Shelly some food and continued, "You've worked hard this past week, Shelly. I will be sure to take better

myself so that I don't care of

I you any more trouble."

"Mom, don't say that! Everyone gets sick every now and then. You took care of me when I fell sick, so it's only normal for me to take care of you now!" Shelly placed some food on her mother's plate as she said,

"Our lives are only going to get better from now on, so relax."
