Chapter 550: Chapter 550



Before shutting the door, he cast one final glance at Katherine, who lay peacefully asleep in bed, her back turned to him. The straps of her shirt rested on her shoulders, while her arm lay upon the light gray blanket.

Shawn slipped out silently, making his way toward the office.

The finance director entered Shawn’s office to deliver some reports and couldn’t help but notice the unmistakable hickeys adorning Shawn’s neck.

“What’s this? Looks like you had quite the wild night, didn’t you?”

At first, Shawn was bewildered by Ferris Hilton’s implication until Ferris gestured towards his neck. Glancing at his reflection in his phone, the realization dawned on him.

“Feeling jealous?”

Ferris, currently unattached, was Shawn’s college friend. Although they were of the same age, it had been a considerable time since Ferris had engaged in any romantic relationship.

Let your imagination soar with gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s．çο𝗺 “You certainly have some audacity! Back in the day, you were resolute in your ambition to establish a business, and I devoted my prime years working diligently alongside you instead of pursuing romantic endeavors! Now you’re flaunting your romantic escapades right in front of me! You owe me an opportunity at love!”

Shawn flipped through the reports and retorted, “If you’re feeling envious, perhaps you should seek someone for yourself.”

Ferris swung a leg onto Shawn’s desk and inquired, “How on earth did you manage to find a girlfriend?”

“Online dating.”

“No way. Do you genuinely believe in that?”

Shawn looked up thoughtfully. “Initially, I didn’t believe it. But eventually, I did.”

“Cease your jesting; I’m far too old for this. I post a selfie and am immediately called out for appearing too aged.”

Shawn glanced at Ferris and asked, “Do you genuinely want to find a girlfriend?”

“Absolutely! My family is exerting considerable pressure on me. I used to use you as a shield, but now you’ve progressed beyond me.”

Shawn closed the folder and remarked, “If you’re truly serious about finding a girlfriend, I happen to know an excellent candidate.”

“Who?”

Shawn had a particular individual in mind but opted to withhold that information from Ferris for the time being. He reminisced about Lily’s inherent kindness. In fact, she had begun dating someone new six months prior, but they had recently parted ways. In her quest to drown her sorrows in alcohol, she had even implored Katherine and Shawn to introduce her to someone new. Shawn contemplated that Ferris might be a suitable match for Lily.

“She was paired with me for a blind date. We spent some time together, simply dining and hiking; nothing more. We didn’t even hold hands. If you’re interested, I can provide you with her number.”

Ferris eagerly retrieved his phone and replied, “I don’t mind, as long as she’s a genuinely nice person.”

Shawn promptly sent Lily’s number to Ferris and also texted Lily to inform her of the connection.
