Chapter 69 - Not Just Enough! (2/2)

”I'll keep that in mind, Sir.” Xiu gritted out with clenched jaw.

Xiu's first stop was the little cafe near the office building and when she brought the cupcakes to him, Dylan's reply was, ”These are not from a gourmet bakery. Go. Buy again.”

Xiu took his order again and went out to find the gourmet bakeries. When she came back after thirty minutes, she was again rejected. Dylan had only taken a bite and said, ”This is not the taste I want. Bring it again.”

Xiu spent the next three hours going back and forth from office to different bakeries but Dylan always had some excuse for her. For instance...

”This is not moist enough.”

”Not chocolaty enough.”

”Not sweet enough.”

”Too moist for me.”

Xiu finally asked, ”Sir, why don't you just tell me what exactly do you want? What is it that you're looking for? I have already gone to half of the gourmet bakeries in the whole city and yet, you don't find anything to your liking.”

”Do you think I'm making excuses?” He asked.

”Aren't you?” Xiu was straightforward with her words. She was done beating around the bushes. Now, she had more urges to treat Dylan like a bush and beat him instead!

Dylan narrowed his eyes at her and said, ”Ms. Bai, although I do love torturing you. But right now, I'm not doing this for entertainment. I'm really looking for a certain taste.” He was exasperated himself by now as he went on, ”My best friend gave me a cupcake a while back and it tasted heavenly. I'm trying to find that same taste.”

”Why don't you ask your friend where he got it from? It'll help you and me both.” Xiu suggested for her own goodwill. Her ankles were hurting now because of all the running that she was doing.

”Do you think I'm an idiot?” Xiu had the urge to say 'yes' but she kept her urges buried. ”I already asked him. He said he doesn't know the name of the bakery. So, as my Executive assistant, you should be helping me.”

”Sir, don't you think I'm overqualified for this job?”

”You are. But your job description stated that you have to fulfill all my needs.”

How she wished to refute to that. If only she really could!

Poor Xiu and Dylan, both were oblivious to the fact that the cupcakes that he wanted were made by Xiu herself.
