His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2588

In Aryadelle, after the preliminary screening of the candidates was over, Layla grew busy.

Every day, when she was tired of working, or during her lunch break, she would randomly pick a guy from her email list and start chatting with them via video call.

She had still been a little uneasy when she had spoken to the first two men, but after that, she relaxed into the process.

There was a famous trend on the internet where an algorithm would match you up with random people to talk to. As long as she treated this as some sort of a game, she would feel more relaxed.

At night, Layla complained to her mother about the day's men.

"Mom, do you know how absurd the guy I was talking to this afternoon was?" At that, Layla chuckled. "I suspect he is just here for Hayden because when I was almost done chatting with him, he told me that he felt that we are not compatible, and he hoped that he could be friends with Hayden instead."

Avery replied, "Hayden is indeed amazing. He did not rely on anyone to achieve all his current achievements. It's normal that others would admire him."

Layla could not help but smile. "Hayden is so amazing. I'm sure many girls would like him. I really don't know what he is thinking. He has a stable career, so why isn't he in a relationship?"

Avery said, "Layla, everyone thinks differently. Some like to be in a relationship, others like being alone."

Elliot interrupted, "Before I knew your mother, I never entered into a relationship either."

Layla said, "Maybe Hayden is like you! He focuses more on his career. He is already so successful, yet he is still working so hard every day."

Elliot replied, "If you're not progressing, you're regressing."

Layla said, "Dad, when are you going to retire? Once you're retired, take Mom and the world! She has been working hard most of her life. It's time she enjoys her life."

Avery said, "Layla, I never felt like it was tough. Your father likes to work, let him be. He feels empty without work."

"Your mother is like me. We like peace and quiet," Elliot said to his daughter.

"Oh, then you two must have been annoyed to death by us kids being noisy?" Layla said. "Why do I prefer a lively environment??"

"Your mother was quite energetic when she was younger," Elliot said. "Energetic, yet patient."

"Hahaha! No wonder you were so attracted to her." Layla smiled and thought of another thing. "I have talked with the prince of Creolia. He said that he intends to come to Aryadelle to meet with me. I've agreed to it."

Avery was a little surprised. "Do you like him?"

Layla blushed a little. "He is quite handsome and also rather polite. He said he is on a holiday, but he doesn't know where to go, so I invited him to come here."

Elliot said, "Layla, you have to make it clear to him that if you two were to start dating then he would need to give up that useless title of his and settle down in Aryadelle."
