His Eagle Eyes on Me

Shelly collapsed on her bed dazedly when she returned to her apartment with memories of the night before replaying in her mind.

It had been a preposterous night.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hayden was a gentleman, and Shelly was the one who had taken the initiative.

When she had seen that Hayden had completely submerged his body in the cold water, including his head, she had been worried that he might suffocate.

If Hayden had died, the police would arrest her as the first suspect as she had been alone in the room with Hayden.

Considering all these factors, she had dragged Hayden out of the water, and everything had swiftly spiraled out of control.

She admitted that she had been enthralled by Hayden's looks as she would have ran if she had been in the same situation with a horrendous-looking man; but because she had been with Hayden, she had done something unexpected.

Other than a tinge of embarrassment, she felt nothing else afterward.

Had Hayden not been drugged, she would have never had the chance to be intimate with such a brilliant man. She felt that she had taken advantage of Hayden, so she had not taken the money he had tried to give her.

"Shelly, aren't you working today?" Her flatmate, Courtney Metcalf, saw that her door was not completely shut and came in.

Shelly shook her head. "The manager gave me two days off."

"Why would he be so nice? Is he going to fire you?" Courtney sat down next to her.

"I got my hands on the photos of the wedding of Layla Tate and Eric Santos, so he is giving me a break as a reward," Shelly explained.

"Damn! Shelly, how did you do that?

Why didn't you mention anything to me? When did you come home last

night, by the way? I didn't hear

"Three in the morning," Shelly said lazily as she leaned against the bed. "Don't ask. I'm exhausted."

"No way. You have to tell me how you got those photos! I thought they said that the security for the wedding was extremely tight!"

"Well, that's true." Shelly closed her eyes. "I managed to get in through a connection."

"I didn't know you have such powerful connections!"

"My elementary school classmate worked there as a waiter." Shelly opened her eyes. "Do you still think it's a powerful connection?"

"Of course! Why not? Anyone who

does better than me is considered quite powerful." Courtney sighed. sent my resume to over three hundred companies, and I've heard nothing back so far. Shelly, is your company hiring?"

"If you won't fix up your resume, no one will hire you, my lady," Shelly teased. "Is your resume still consisting of nothing but a few words?"

"No! I made some amendments!" Courtney showed her new resume to Shelly. "See? I added a few more words."

Shelly was instantly rendered speechless.
