Chapter 115 - A Little About You (2/2)
”That means you and my boss are childhood friends, right? That also means you guys have a very close bond.”
”Yes, absolutely right. Even when I left China, he followed me everywhere. We are often mistaken for brothers. But then again, we are really like brothers. So what if we're not blood-related.” The way Darren talked about Dylan told Xiu how much he valued Dylan. It was nice knowing about Darren's life a bit. ”I know you have opinions about Dylan but...”
Xiu interrupted his speech as she said, ”Don't worry about that at all. I have opinions about him as my boss. Not as your friend. I can't smack him just because he's your friend. After all, if I question him that means, I'm questioning your choices and questioning your choices indirectly means I'm questioning myself since you're my choice. So, I'll never talk about my boss with you.”
Darren didn't know what to say but it really was a relief to know that she wasn't as unreasonable as Dylan. She was right, she really had no right to question his choice of friends just like he didn't as well.
”I don't know what kind of a boss Dylan is but as a person and as a friend, he's quite decent. He has manners but he gets a bit childish when things don't go his way.” Darren tried to give Xiu a good impression of Dylan. However, it was a little too late for that.
”I never called him a bad person. He is a good person, a very good person that I learned today. He's a good friend, that I can tell since he has you as his best friend. As for being a good boss, I don't know what to say. He knows how to get his work done but he doesn't like taking people's help.” Xiu's opinion about Dylan had truly changed a lot since he took her side at the club today. It showed what kind of a weird character he was. She really couldn't say he was not a decent man.
Yes, he was childish but everyone had some flaws. She decided to just ignore his childish nature, the rest was pretty okay about him. And since he was indeed Darren's best friend, she really had to find something to like about Dylan. It wouldn't be nice putting her boyfriend on the spot because of her own dislike.
”Moving on, why did you decide to settle here? I mean your mother is still in Norway. Then why did you come here? Your home is all the way in Norway and you're all the way here.” Xiu inquired out of curiosity but Darren's expressions changed slightly before he composed himself.
”I had some promises to keep,” he mumbled softly before adding, ”Besides, who said I don't have a home here? Let me tell you already, I have two mothers. One is in Norway and the other one is right in this city.” Xiu's brows creased up at his reply and he elaborated, ”Dylan's mother is my second mother. The reason why I'm so close to Dylan is her. She treated both of us as her sons. My mother had to work all the time that's why I spent most of the time with Dylan's mother. That's why she's also like a real mother to me.”
Xiu looked at him as she wondered whether to be envious of him or not. He had the attention of two mothers in his life while she couldn't even get her own mother to look at her twice even after trying so hard.
