Chapter 70 - Little Dum-Dum (2/2)

”Oh? Just, oh? That's your reply? Seriously? And then you say, I'm abusing my rights as your boss. You literally tormented yourself. I had no share in that this time.” He snickered as he continued, ”I recently heard a lot about you. Everyone called you Heartless Witch in your previous department. And there was another new name from interns...” With a thoughtful look, he added, ”Ahan! Pompous Demotivator. I thought you're really some genius but you turned out to be...” Dylan had a distressful and disappointed look on his face as he went on, ”A bird's egghead. Tsk. Tsk.”

Xiu's eyes narrowed dangerously as she glared at him ready to swallow him whole. ”Did you just call me a bird's egghead?”

”I did,” he replied confidently. ”Did I say anything wrong? If your brain wasn't so tiny, you wouldn't be threatning me with a lawsuit right now.”

'Oh, you did not just say that!' Xiu's brain screwed were shuffled. Calling her 'a bird's egghead' was equal to calling her a dunce person. It was an insult, she wasn't gonna take lightly at all.

She had heard a lot of things as Chen Xiu and had to swallow down those insults as well with a smile. Even when people used to say, ”Chen Xiu is just a beautiful face with no brains,” she always stayed quiet but she had proved her intelligence as Bai Xiu and she wasn't gonna let Dylan go for this insult.

”You! You're shabby down to your core.” Dylan gaped at her with wide eyes as she glowered at him saying, ”You can abuse your position of being my boss but who gave you the right to call me a fool?” She took a dangerous step towards him making him step back. ”You are the only fool between us. Your whole family is a fool. How dare you call me a fool?”

”You're giving my words a totally different meaning again.” Dylan tried to explain but Xiu didn't give her a chance.

”Oh, really? I don't think so! You little dum-dum. Don't play with the fire, I'll literally burn you into ashes.”

”I am the boss here. Mind your words, I'll fire you otherwise.” Dylan said in a warning tone as he was shocked to see Xiu's angry version. What little devil took over her body? Why did she seem so scary all of a sudden?

”Go ahead. Fire me. Do I look like I won't find a job anywhere else?” Xiu wasn't scared at all because of his threat. Dylan was taken aback to see her actively threatening him back. He obviously had no plans of firing her but why did she seem so certain that he won't do so? Was he that easy to read through?

”You! You!” He was having difficulty in finding words to retort. ”I'll cut your paycheck!” He used the same tactic that he used on the weekend to get her help.

Xiu clenched her fists tightly. 'Calm down, Xiu! It's just a paycheck anyway. Self-respect is more important.' She was reasoning with herself.

”Go ahead, do whatever you want. I expect nothing less from a petty Uncle like you!” Xiu snapped out and finally blurted out the confession that Dylan was eager to hear.

At first, he was shocked to hear that 'Uncle' again but after a minute, that shock turned into a sly smile that spread on his face.

”Gottcha! Convenience store kiddo!”
