His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2991

"Sir, can I invite a friend to join?" Fergus thought of Shelly.

Fergus was no fool and knew that Shelly was not interested in him, but since they were from the same hometown, he genuinely hoped she would find a good match someday.

"I'm not sure. Are you planning on inviting single friends or married ones?" the manager asked.

"A single friend. If it's not allowed, then forget it. My friend might not want to come anyway." Fergus did not want to complicate things.

"I'll ask Eliam."

The manager called Eliam and relayed Fergus's question. Eliam asked in return, "Did he mention who he wanted to bring?"

"He didn't. I don't know any of his friends either!"

Eliam guessed that Fergus wanted to bring Shelly and said, "Tell him that, if he wants to bring someone, it can only be one friend. And keep it low-key. Otherwise, everyone will want to bring a friend, and the hotel banquet hall might not be able to accommodate us all."

The manager conveyed Eliam's response to Fergus, and Fergus immediately messaged Shelly.

[Shelly, our company is having a meet-cute gathering this weekend with Tate Industries and Sterling Group. It's a free event. Do you want to join me? After all, you're single, too. I just asked the supervisor, and he said I can bring one single friend.]

Upon seeing the message, Shelly rejected it without hesitation. [I'm not going. I'm not even part of those companies. It would be too awkward for me to go.]

[Maybe others will also bring friends! Just accompany me, okay? Consider it as expanding your horizons. The event is free, so it's like getting a free dinner!] Fergus argued.

[Fergus, be honest. Are you afraid of attending alone?] she typed.

[Haha. You caught me.]

[Let me check if I have any other plans this weekend. If I don't, I'll accompany you.] Shelly wrote.

[Great.]
