Chapter 51 - In Your Head (1/2)

Problems have a quirk about them; it's that they always stay with us. And the greatest challenge of life is discovering where the problem lies because 80% of the times the problem lies within ourselves. With our attitude of facing that problem. But no human likes to accept his own mistake. It's human nature; One can't do anything about it.

Problems are like the rocks that try to block the flow of a river but don't forget; Water knows how to find its way. Therefore, our attitude should be like that flowing water that stays calm but still persistent while facing all the obstacles. After all, its the attitude of the water that makes all the difference.

Outgrowing from your problems or even solving those problems only brings you 20% of the success. The rest lies with the lesson that you learned through that period of time.

Right now for Xiu, Dylan was her biggest problem. Neither she could solve this problem nor could she outgrow from it. However, what she could do was find a middle ground. She couldn't let herself be pushed by this problem. After all, her dreams were bigger than the problem named Dylan Qiu.

This morning, Xiu's problem with Dylan was completely different than it had been yesterday. Because today, Dylan decided to ignore her. He had come to office earlier than anyone and had locked himself in his office.

His only call to Xiu was to say, ”Cancel all my meetings for today. And don't disturb me. I'm repeating my words, don't let anyone disturb me.”

”Noted.” Xiu had replied calmly but with a frown that he couldn't see over the phone. After that, Xiu hadn't heard from Dylan at all. It was like he wasn't even present. But from the gloomy vibes that were looming around his office, she could tell that this grumpy Uncle was indeed inside.

That and also because he kept firing up emails to her mailbox with doc.u.ments that needed revision or the plans that were completely rejected. Xiu couldn't help but agree that even though he was eccentric and grumpy but he was hardworking as people said.

”Why is it so quiet?” Li Qi'er asked after softly knocking on Xiu's office door.

”Sister Li,” Xiu gave her a sincere smile as started, ”Don't ask. Boss has locked himself in his office.”

Li Qi'er looked at the closed door of Dylan's room and chuckled, ”Oh, he's in lockdown mode again.”

”Lockdown mode?” Xiu repeated in confusion and a bit of curiosity.

Li Qi'er nodded and entered her office. ”Don't worry. He'll be fine soon on his own.”

”Hopefully.” Xiu sighed out. Li Qi'er was about to say something when the landline in her office rang and Dylan asked her to come to his office. ”Coming right away, Sir.” Then she looked at Li Qi'er who gave her encouraging smile.

Knocking on his office door, she walked inside and found him with his head buried in the doc.u.ments that had been stacked on his desk.

”You called for me, Sir?” Xiu used her words cautiously, she didn't want to tick him off. Dylan lifted his head and Xiu's eyes widened looking at his face. She took a sharp intake of breath which caught his attention.

”Your expression is exaggerated. I don't look that bad.” Dylan replied in annoyance.
