Chapter 171 - Forget-Me-Not (2/2)

”Why? Do I have to? Can't you take any of your other assistants?”

Xiu's insistence on not going made Dylan look at her with a thoughtful look. 'Your reluctance is irking me for some reason. I've never seen you back out like this before,' wondered Dylan to himself while rubbing his index finger on his chin. ”You'd be the one joining me and that's final.” Xiu opened her mouth to say something when he cut her off with, ”You can get back to work now.”

Xiu looked at him hatefully before stomping her foot like a kid and trudging out of there. She came back to her office, looking like a defeated soldier. She had avoided going to Xia Capital for years on purpose. That place was where she grew up and had the memories that pushed her to her death. Every single place in that huge city was too familiar.

Did she want to face all those memories? No!

But she had to do it for her own sake. It was perhaps her time to pull herself completely out of that shadow of past life.

Xiu was lost in her own thoughts when the door of her cabin was knocked. She looked up and raised her brow at her co-worker, Gu Luli who held out a beautiful bouquet of forget-me-nots and said, ”Someone left this for you at the reception.”

Xiu was dazed and even took the bouquet from her hand in her dazed stated. She looked curiously at the flowers in her hands but since the sender had sent no information about himself, she really had no clue about the sender. Well, she had her suspicion and it was proven true when her phone buzzed with a message alert and she clicked it open to read...

”Are you feeling blue?

But don't forget,

Blue has different hues.

Yes, Blue is a bit sad

But you just remember

to forget me not.”

Xiu ended up laughing as she read it and another message came.

Mr. McSpicy: ”Sorry! I know it sounds really bad. I can't believe I sent that.”

Sweets: ”Why? I loved it. It made me laugh.”

Mr. McSpicy: ”That's even worse. Darn it! I missed that laughter! *sad face*”

Sweets: ”To make me smile, you don't need words.”

Mr. McSpicy: ”Really? What do I need to do then?”

Sweets: ”Show up!”

Xiu hit her head after pressing the send button but there was no point in regretting it. The message was sent already.

Meanwhile, when Darren read the two words that held a beautiful feeling behind it, he sat up on his bed with a goofy smile. He typed the reply and sent the message before turning off the side-lamp to sleep.
