Chapter 49 - Once OR Twice (2/2)

On the other side of things...

Xiu had no clue that the words that she wrote because of her frenzied emotions were the reason for her selection. She had a dream about a bitter memory that very day and she wasn't in a good mood. Therefore when she read that question about writing a letter to yourself. She just poured her heart out.

She also had no clue, how deeply those words had affected someone. And how she had invoked someone's buried memories along with her own.

Currently,

When Xiu entered the apartment with a content smile, she heard Nora's voice, ”Baby Xiu'er, why are you so late?”

And seeing Nora's concern, Xiu just spilled her heart out honestly as she kept cursing Dylan who was sneezing unceasingly in Darren's apartment and Darren even joked saying, ”I think someone is cursing you.”

”It must be that Ms. Bai!” Dylan answered hatefully while Darren shook his head at him.

Who knew that his guess was right on point! It wasn't in Xiu's hands otherwise she would have already smashed Dylan's head with a baseball bat.

Back on Xiu's side, she looked aggrieved as she related the story of the whole day to Nora who was equally furious now.

”How dare he! Such a despicable man! He treated you so badly and you let him? Why didn't you say anything?” Nora's temper flared up as she rolled up her sleeves ready to fight. ”Let me find him. I'll give him a good lesson!”

Xiu held her back saying, ”Nora darling, stop it! Do you think I can't give him a punch or two?”

”Then why didn't you?” Nora shouted at her, not satisfied with how Xiu let herself get bullied.

”He's my boss. I should bear with him once or twice.” Xiu's voice was barely a whisper. ”Besides, I don't want to end up with a lawsuit.”

”What lawsuit? My mother is the best lawyer. Why are you worrying about a lawsuit?” Nora gave her a side hug and added, ”Next time, feel free to kick his ass. We'll handle the lawsuit if we have to.”

Xiu smiled at her reply wholeheartedly as she felt completely relaxed now. Nora had that effect on her. She really could brighten up her day.

”I'll definitely kick his ass,” Xiu replied with determination.

”Good!” Nora patted her head proudly.
