Chapter 252 - Social Vegan (1/2)
Yes, the person Darren found in the video was none other than his own idiot; Xiu. He was really having a difficult time trying to wrap his mind around this situation especially when he was told that his girlfriend's two videos had been trending on social media for the past hour. One that he just saw and the other in which she was singing 'Sunday Morning' herself like the main vocalist of the band.
”You're also starstruck, right?” asked Paige cheekily while she added, ”She is gorgeous and charming.”
Darren's face twitched as he glanced at his secretary and asked, ”You're going to the bar to hit on her?” Actually, he knew that Paige was bis.e.x.u.a.l, he never cared about it especially since he was raised in a different environment. But if this time, her answer was yes... Then he really cared!
Paige gave him a proud smile, ”Yup.” Turning from alluring to chloric, it Darren only one second while she happily oblivious to his turmoil went on, ”Do you think I'll be able to bend her? Well, I won't mind a one-night stand either.”
”OKAY! That's it!” exclaimed Darren harshly and took a long deep breath. ”You! Throw all those crazy ideas in your head about my girlfriend out!”
”Girlfriend?” Paige was surprised. ”She's your girlfriend?”
Darren pulled out his phone and pressed the button to show her his lock screen photo which was of Xiu's sleeping face while hugging him. Paige raised her brows and laughed out, ”Boss, you and I have such similar taste in girls.”
”Shut up, Paige!” said Darren as he watched her being amused at the expense of his feelings.
Paige raised her hands as she said, ”Okay, I give up. No matter how much attracted I am to her. I'll give her up for your sake.” As she patted on his shoulder, Darren was left gaping in disbelief.
He glared at her and said, ”You're not giving her to me. Because she's already mine. Don't you dare...”
Paige laughed at his reaction and said, ”Boss, I have never seen you this possessive about someone before. Relax, I won't do anything. She's all yours.” She took a step away from him and opened the door of her own car. As she started the engine, she wounded the windowpane down and said, ”Hey, boss! Go and get your girlfriend already. I'm a girl and she managed to charm me, do you think men won't be attracted to her?”
As she reminded him, Darren was left thinking on his own in the parking lot. He pulled out his phone and dialed Xiu's number but no one picked up. It's been a while and she hadn't even replied to him as well. Darren tried calling Dylan but his phone was switched off. ”F.u.c.k you, Didi! Where the hell are you when I need you?” Darren cursed and screamed at his phone before getting in his car and asking the driver to take him to Dylan's company.
On his way, he kept trying to call Xiu and Dylan but to no avail. Then he thought of calling Dylan's office and got the reply, ”Mr. Qiu and Ms. Bai left in the afternoon for a meeting. They are still not back.”
Darren's brain was running all kinds of scenarios since he was very familiar with the infamous 'Wine Xiu'. Now, he was even more worried to know that Dylan and Xiu were together. If that was true then he could only imagine. Because he knew nothing went right when those two were left alone sober let alone drunk. Well, not like their track history was any good.
Darren texted Paige to send him the bar's address and went there. As he walked inside the bar, he looked around desperately for her but couldn't find her or Dylan. He tried calling Zhao Wei but she told him that Dylan wasn't home. Then he called Dylan's sister and learned that Dylan was supposed to attend a charity auction in the evening.
Darren went to the charity auction venue but he wasn't allowed to enter, not like he wanted to. He just asked the ushers to tell him, ”Did Dylan Qiu come tonight?”
As the attendants checked the guest list, they answered, ”Yes, sir. Mr. Qiu came alone.”
