Chapter 3041
Avery had told her that Hayden was brilliant at work but was hardly capable of taking care of himself. Since he invested much of his energy into work, he always had servants taking care of him. Since everyone was to spend a night in a tent for the team-building event, Avery was quite worried that Hayden might not be able to sleep or eat well. Shelly understood Avery's concerns. People raised in wealthy families tended to be quite bad at caring for themselves. Courtney could not cook or do any house chores either, and since Hayden grew up in a much wealthier household than Courtney, Shelly would not be surprised to discover that Hayden had little to no life skills. Avery mentioned that Hayden could not take spices and preferred plainer food that was not overly seasoned, yet Shelly noticed that they were having barbeque. The meal was probably to cater to the tastes of the majority of the employees, so there were not many dishes that Hayden would like. Shelly glanced around a

After getting some rest, the activities for the afternoon began. After Hayden's speech, he stepped out of the hotel with Shelly. "Are we really going shopping?" Shelly asked. "Don't you need to take a nap?" "I didn't reserve a room," he said. "If you want to take a nap, we can go to a hotel."Nothing about the statement was suggestive in the slightest. She shook her head and said, "I slept enough in the car. I'm just worried that you might be tired." "I'm not." Hayden felt relaxed since he did not have to work. "Let's walk around, then!" Shelly smiled. "Let's see if there's anything worth buying as souvenirs." Hayden agreed with a nod. He did not like shopping and would normally only go shopping with his family; he would never go shopping alone. However, shopping with Shelly felt like shopping with his family, so he did not mind. "What else did my mom tell you?" Hayden asked. "Should I show you?" Shelly took out her phone. "Your mom messaged me." She unlocked her

After Hayden paid, he took the water from her. "When you take a shower tonight, make sure your finger doesn't touch water," Shelly said as she looked at his injured finger. "The wound is quite deep. Even when I peel shrimp and get pricked, I have never bled like you did. You scared your subordinates." "It doesn't actually hurt," Hayden said. "Although it's a small wound, it's still better to take care of it. After all, we're in unfamiliar territory. If your mom finds out, she'll definitely be worried." Shelly continued walking with him. "Your mom said you've never been in a relationship before. Have you never encountered a girl who made your heart flutter?" "I never thought about it before. Every day when I wake up, I'm faced with numerous challenges at work," Hayden revealed. "When I was very young, I set a goal for myself: to surpass my father's career." Shelly looked at his face, shocked. "When I was a child, I had a bad relationship with my father, so I was eager to sur

Shelly was touched but hesitated upon hearing the price. No matter how beautiful it looked, her interest in the item faded if the price exceeded her estimation. "Let's go somewhere else!" Shelly wanted to pull Hayden out of the shop. Since they managed to purchase four dolls at normal prices, she wanted to find another store that sold products that were not overly expensive. Hayden remained unwavering. "You like this shawl, right? We can buy this and go elsewhere after that." The price of the shawl hardly meant anything to him. He rarely went shopping, and anything one could find in ordinary shops was not expensive for him. Since Shelly seemed to like the shawl, he wanted to buy it for her. He did not care if Shelly wanted to keep the shawl for herself or give it to Avery. Shelly knew that Hayden had more money than he could spend, but she pulled him out of the store regardless and said, "Let's see if there's anything better. If not, we can come back and buy it, okay?"

After touching the fabric, Hayden picked out a rainbow-colored shawl and placed it on Shelly's shoulder. Shelly was instantly stunned. "It looks great on you," he said. "Look in the mirror. Let's buy it if you like it." "This may look nice, but I don't think it suits Aunty Avery..." Shelly liked the shawl but felt that the one with the deeper color would suit Avery better. "You can keep this one, and we can get the one you first saw for my mom," he said before ordering the owner to bring over the other shawl. Both shawls were made from the same fabric. The only variance was the slight shift in colors and patterns. They were priced the same. Hayden went to pay and the staff member wrapped the shawls before handing them to Shelly respectfully. Shelly felt too guilty to keep shopping if Hayden was going to pay for everything, so she said, "Why don't we head back to the hotel?" "Let's go have something to drink!" Hayden did not feel like going back to the hotel. Although he

Shelly turned around to look at Hayden. "Why don't we go shower?" Hayden glanced at the time and noticed that it was six in the evening. "Where?" Shelly asked. Hayden pointed in a certain direction. "There's a hammam there. We reserved the whole place for tonight." Shelly immediately picked up her bag and went over to the hammam with Hayden. It took them around fifteen minutes to reach the baths. When they arrived, they ran into a big group of female employees that were ready to shower, so Hayden said, "You should go with them." The hammam was divided into two separate spaces, one for males and the other for females. She nodded. "Be careful when you shower. Don't let your wound touch the water." "Don't worry. I'll be fine," he reassured her. With that, Hayden went to the men's area, while Shelly followed the other female employees to the female's area. As soon as she entered, Shelly was surrounded by several female employees. "Ms. Taylor, are you going to marry our

Shelly showered swiftly and got changed, before hurrying outside to find Hayden waiting in the hall. Spotting her, Hayden pushed the fruit platter toward her. "They serve us fruits here, too?" Shelly asked. Her cheeks were flushed from her hot shower. "There are snacks, too." "Fruits will be fine." Shelly took a bite of a piece of apple and glanced at Hayden's hand. She then set her fork down and grabbed his hand. "Your plaster is wet. Let me change it for you." She left the fruit platter behind and proceeded to drag Hayden out of the hammam. After Shelly and Hayden left, the women's area became lively with chatter. "Did you notice? Ms. Taylor had a scar on her abdomen." One female employee initiated the conversation. "What scar? I didn't see it. I only noticed her great figure." "I didn't see it either... Wasn't she covering herself with a towel? Her figure is indeed good, though. Her waist is so slim! I envy her!" "You guys aren't married and don't have children,
Chapter 3048
Eliam felt touched by their interaction and hurried over to the barbeque stand before whispering to the Vice President, "Our boss looks like a damsel in distress today, and Ms. Taylor is like his heroine." "The president hurt his hand and needs help," said Vice President. "Hahaha, I guess! Don't worry, though, Ms. Taylor is an attentive woman so she will take great care of the President." "She's a mother, after all." "A mother of two, no less," Eliam added. The Vice President lifted an eyebrow. "Two? Not one?" Eliam lowered his voice further. "Two. Ms. Taylor pretty much has the President pinned down. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she will have the President all to herself with those two kids." "So she gave birth to twins? That's great. You don't know for sure, though. Any woman can give birth to kids, and if the President runs into another woman he likes more in the future..." "The President isn't that kind of a man. Just look at his parents," Eliam said.
