Chapter 72 - Childlike Innocence (2/2)

”There are cameras in my office,” Dylan told her in amus.e.m.e.nt while pointing towards the hidden cameras within his room.

Xiu was dumbfounded. ”You actually put cameras in your own office? Why?”

”So that I can check whoever enters my office behind my back,” he was looking elsewhere while speaking and Xiu raised a brow at him provocatively, he added, ”Fine. I forget things after placing them. That's why the cameras are installed.”

Xiu burst out laughing but seeing his stern face, she mumbled a sorry and pursed her lips to hide her laughter. He was really amusing and Xiu couldn't deny it anymore. How innocently he just stated that he was forgetful. She found it cute that he was honest and didn't twist his words or used any harsh words to shun her. After all, she was just an employee even if he didn't explain himself, she couldn't force him at all.

”Do you have a camera in my cabin as well?” She asked out of the blue.

”Nope.” He replied with a shake of his head.

”Why should I believe you? You even have cameras in your secretarial department.” Xiu insisted stubbornly.

”Ms. Bai, there is no camera in your office since it's your personal cabin. A woman's personal space which I can not invade without getting myself stuck in a lawsuit. My secretarial department has several people in it and it's my right to keep an eye on them. As for your cabin, it's yours. I wouldn't dare going there.”

Xiu kept staring at him with a strange look in her eyes. When he had given her a lift back then, she had already deduced that he was silly like a child but he had a good personality. Now again, he was making her want to re-think her views about him.

She snickered softly, ”You're the second man who's making me question what I knew about men.” 'Is Bai Xiu too lucky to meet decent men or Chen Xiu wasn't destined to meet any.' She kept her last sentence to herself. As Chen Xiu, all the men that she came across were worse to worst ones. But why was as Bai Xiu, she was given a chance to see that not all men were animals.

Some were sensible and friendly like Darren while others held their childlike innocence like Dylan. How contradicting these two were from the ones she was associated with once.

”Let's work well together, Sir.” Xiu extended her hand towards him and Dylan eyed her suspiciously. ”I'm not hiding any needle or pin in my palm.” She assured him while showing him her empty palm. Dylan dropped his vigilance and shook her hand.

”Yes, let's work towards a successful collaboration.” Xiu rolled her eyes at him and he added, ”Oh, but don't forget my cupcakes. I still need those.”

Xiu's lips twitched and she gnashed her teeth while she thought, 'Thanks for reminding me why I find you so hateful. I really wasn't liking this feeling of you being nice.'

”I'll do my best to find your desired taste,” Xiu replied with a polite smile and turned to leave his office.
