Chapter 104 - Cancel The First Date? (1/2)

Xiu didn't know what really happened but Dylan really wasn't in a good mood and apparently, that's why Xiu had to slave away with him for the whole day.

Close to the evening when she was about to knock on his door again, she heard his voice from inside, ”Why are you taking your anger out on me?” Xiu's curiosity piqued as she leaned close to the door to find any clue why Dylan was in such a bad mood. ”Yes, I met Hu Shishi but I already explained that she tricked me into seeing her.”

'Hu Shishi?' Xiu frowned as that name was brought up again. 'Is he having a quarrel with his girlfriend over Hu Shishi?' She sighed out in disappointment. 'Well, I couldn't expect anything better from a homewrecker like Hu Shishi.'

”Argh! She hung up my phone again!” Xiu heard Dylan's exasperated voice from behind the door. She didn't know what mood he was in but she still knocked. ”Come in,” came his voice.

Xiu entered his office and placed the doc.u.ments on his table, ”I have sorted out the details you asked for. Also, a complete analysis report is sent to your mail. I've contacted the production team as well, the product launch's preparation will start from Monday without any hitch. Now, I would like to leave.”

”Not so fast,” said Dylan making Xiu seethe in anger. He took his car keys and said, ”Follow me, we have to meet Director Lu from Erzhong Group.”

”What for?” asked Xiu as she followed him out.

”For a possible business co-operation,” Dylan replied.

Xiu looked at the time which was close to five in the evening now and scowled, ”Can't we just meet him another day?”

”No, can't do. He'll leave for Canada tomorrow. We have to talk today. I just received the address where I can find him,” said Dylan while massaging his brows.

Xiu sat in his car with a dejected look. She unlocked her phone screen and typed a text message to Darren saying, ”Let's cancel our first date. This stupid boss of mine is not gonna let me leave on time.”

She had to wait for a minute or two before she received a reply from Darren saying, ”Just call me when you're free, I'll come to pick you up.” Xiu smiled at his text and hugged her phone close to her heart feeling really sweet.

Dylan could see her odd behavior from his peripheral vision but didn't say anything. Today, he really wasn't in the mood to butt heads with Xiu. No matter how much he liked irritating her, he wasn't planning on doing it today. He silently followed his navigation system to find the destination.

When he parked the car and looked around, the gloomy clouds on his head turned into angry raging ones. Xiu also looked at the place where they were and frowned slightly. But her reaction was mild compared to Dylan himself.

As Xiu was about to take a step towards the entrance, Dylan held her wrist and pulled her back, ”Can't you see what place this is? How can you so casually enter? Go and wait in the car or take a cab and go back home.”

Xiu's brows quirked up at his words and she asked, ”Didn't you bring me here yourself?”

”I didn't know they had planned the meeting in a host club. If I knew I would have never brought my female executive assistant to such a place,” said Dylan surprising Xiu. ”Anyway, you just leave. I'll handle this myself.”

”But...” Xiu was about to speak when her words were cut off by another voice that came from behind her.
