Chapter 239 - Its Only Tuesday... (2/2)
”I haven't thought about it but maybe, it depends on his performance. But you tell me whether he'll believe it or not?” She didn't bother elaborating on which performance she was talking about. But Darren knew himself that his best friend was in trouble for certain.
”He will,” replied Darren making Xiu look at him in confusion. ”I told you, he's scared of ghosts. But it isn't just his fear. He actually believes in ghosts and any supernatural activity. He even joined a social group where people share their paranormal activities. So, I really think that he'd believe you.”
Xiu listened to him before saying, ”He really does all sorts of things, doesn't he?” Darren chuckled before nodding his head. ”I don't think I can call him weird. Calling him abnormal would be better.”
”Hmm... I agree, he is abnormal. Because only an abnormal person can love a celebrity the way he did.” The words he didn't add this time were, 'He loved Chen Xiu to the point that he didn't take a second before throwing away his own love.'
Xiu was stunned by his words. Because she knew the celebrity in question was her. That brought her to a question, she really wanted to ask Dylan, why was he in love with her? What did she really have to have someone admire her in such an innocent way?
Later Darren dropped Xiu off to the office and she got busy with work as usual. And when she found some time to breathe before the lunch hour, she was reminded of the riddle that Destiny left for her. Xiu pulled out that small note and kept reading it over and over again.
Her fingers tapped on the tabletop in a rhythmic manner as she kept wondering, ”I say nothing yet you know, I have a name but I have to let it go, I have no mouth yet I tell a tale, I make you smile, I make you cry... I make memories come alive.” Xiu dropped her head on the table as she sighed out, ”What is the answer?” she ruffled her own hair aggressively before asking out loud, ”Is the answer 'Memories?'” Knocking on her head, she dropped the idea, ”Nah! How will that bring me the key to unlock the box? Then is it 'Destiny?' But it still doesn't fit somehow!”
Xiu was going crazy on her own when the phone on her table rang before she could even say a word through the receiver, she heard the other end say, ”Come to my office. NOW!” Xiu flinched a bit how Dylan emphasized that 'NOW' and wondered what happened to him this time.
As she stood up, she mumbled, ”It's only Tuesday but I'm already tired of this week. What a bummer!” Shaking her head despondently, she entered Dylan's room and asked, ”What did I do to owe this p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e of Mr. Qiu Hedi calling me on his own?”
”You're still in the mood of jokes?” inquired Dylan as she stared back at her with a blank face.
”What did I do?” asked Xiu as a line appeared between her brows.
”See for yourself,” replied Dylan as he rotated the screen of his laptop towards her.
