His Eagle Eyes on Me

After getting some rest, the activities for the afternoon began.

After Hayden's speech, he stepped out of the hotel with Shelly.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Are we really going shopping?" Shelly asked. "Don't you need to take a nap?"

"I didn't reserve a room," he said. "If you want to take a nap, we can go to a hotel."

Nothing about the statement was suggestive in the slightest.

She shook her head and said, "I slept enough in the car. I'm just worried that you might be tired."

"I'm not." Hayden felt relaxed since he did not have to work.

"Let's walk around, then!" Shelly smiled. "Let's see if there's anything worth buying as souvenirs." Hayden agreed with a nod.

He did not like shopping and would normally only go shopping with his family; he would never go shopping alone. However, shopping with Shelly felt like shopping with his family, so he did not mind. "What else did my mom tell you?" Hayden asked.

"Should I show you?" Shelly took out her phone. "Your mom messaged me." She unlocked her phone and saw Courtney's message at the top. Out of curiosity, she clicked to read it and was instantly at a loss for words when she found the conversation between Hayden and Courtney.

"You were asleep at that time. When I turned off the radio, I saw her message. She sent you multiple messages and seemed worried, so I replied," said Hayden.

Shelly felt awkward. "Um... Courtney always speaks bluntly. Don't misunderstand... I didn't have any intentions of doing anything to you during this team-building outing."

Courtney often encouraged Shelly to pursue Hayden in their private conversations, but it was embarrassing for Hayden to see it.

Hayden teased, "Do you think you can do something to me?"

He had never doubted that Shelly would do anything inappropriate to him.

Shelly blushed. "I won't do anything."

"Maybe you just don't have the ability to do anything to me." Hayden could not help but laugh. "Let me see what my mom said to you."

Shelly immediately handed him her phone, and he pulled up the conversation between her and Avery.

Avery had always kept her messages to Hayden short and brief, but she often sent lengthy messages to Shelly.

"I guess I'm helplessly useless in my mom's eyes." Hayden finished reading the messages and returned the phone to Shelly.

"She's just worried about you."

"I think it's because I've always

brought a servant with me on previous team-building trips abroad," Hayden said. "I'm indeed not very skilled in ordinary things."

"It's okay! It's impressive for a person to be good at one thing! As for small matters in day-to-day life, I'm sure you can pick them up if you try. I don't think you need to, though." Shelly saw a small

supermarket on the roadside and immediately walked toward it. "Let's buy a bottle of water!"

Hayden reached for his wallet as Shelly grabbed a bottle of water.

Hayden was puzzled as to why she grabbed only one bottle.

"This is for you. I have a water bottle in my backpack," Shelly explained with a smile. "The sun is intense today, and if we keep walking, you'll get thirsty."
