His Eagle Eyes on Me

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."

"Maybe Hayden is like you! He focuses more on his career. He is already so successful, yet he is
