His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2899

Ever since Courtney left home, she had been living a privileged life and had not seen any hardship, so her resume was rather empty with only a description of her educational history and a remark at the end that stated she had no bad habits.

"I don't really know what to put in it. I didn't get any certificates during my time at university because my parents said I didn't need to worry about that. They told me to work for our family business after I graduated so I wouldn't have to suffer out there. I thought they meant it, but they turned around to set me up for an arranged marriage as soon as I graduate!" Courtney sighed.

"Why don't we swap places, then?" Shelly stood from the bed.

Courtney shook her head. "Forget it! I will go home once I have spent all the money I have left."

"Have you thought things through?"

"After seeing how little you end up with despite how hard you try, I've realized it's best for me to go home."

Courtney's words left Shelly feeling conflicted. "You are right. Ordinary people don't get much, despite how hard they work. If you return to your parents, at least you won't have to worry about money. If you don't like who they set you up with, you can get them to arrange another person for you."

"Shelly, you are acting weird today. Are you in some kind of shock?"

"I didn't get to peek into the lives of rich people before, and I did yesterday. It does come as a shock." Shelley recalled the gifts Layla had given out at her wedding and wondered how many years of hard work it would take for her to obtain something they could offer others so easily.

"I guess birthright is really important, after all. Shelly, once I get home, I will lend you money to repay your family's debt."

Shelly shook her head. "It's fine. As long as I work hard this year, I should be able to pay for most of it."

"You don't have to be polite to me! My heart breaks for you when I see how hard you are trying to save money. I won't charge you any interest, and you can pay me back whenever you can," Courtney said. "I keep eating meals you cook, and I have nothing to pay you back with."

"You were the one who bought the groceries so we are even."

"Hiring a nanny to cook would cost quite a lot, and I can't just take advantage of you!" Courtney said, before realizing Shelly might misunderstand and adding, "Not that I see you as a nanny. I just want to help you out."

"Haha! You don't have to explain yourself. I'm grateful that you want to help. I won't misunderstand you!" Shelly said earnestly. "But I really don't need your money. I will reach out to you in the future if I really need help."
