320 Ex-Girlfriend? (1/2)
Dylan actually had grasped the true nature of Nora and Xiu's friendship. Because just as he had thought, right when Nora turned away from him and Cali, her first instinct was pulling out her phone to call her best friend.
As they say, good things are meant to be shared. So, how could Nora give up on sharing this good news with Xiu?
”Hey, bestie! What's up? Do you miss me so much that you couldn't wait to call me?”
Hearing Xiu's exceptionally cheery voice, Nora could only roll her eyes.
”Where are you?” asked Nora deciding not to answer Xiu's questions at all.
”I just came to the office,” groaned Xiu before she went on, ”And guess what? My boss is missing! He has a meeting in half an hour and then we have a flight to Lin City in two hours. But apparently, he doesn't care. Even when I reminded him last night.”
Nora raised her brows in amusement before laughing out, ”I say give up on waiting for him.”
”Huh? Why?”
”Because your boss is busy with something more important,” replied Nora.
”Stop talking in riddles. You already know how sick I'm of riddles these days.”
Xiu's exasperation made Nora give up her plan of dragging this on as she replied, ”Okay, guess what! I just met Dylan at the hotel. Now, can you guess who he was with?”
Xiu's eyes narrowed and while she was about to say no, her eyes widened in sudden enlightenment, ”A woman! Precisely a gorgeous western beauty!”
”Bingo!” Nora answered bemused. ”But how do you know that?”
”I left a bug in that stupid brain of his, hope that bug is able to lead him to his own heart.” Xiu was very certain about Dylan's feelings for Cali. But she was also sure that her stupid boss was clueless to his own feelings. She had never seen him talking about a woman like he talked about Cali. That's why she intentionally left the bug of doubt in his stupid brain.
”Doesn't seem like it,” added Nora. ”Because he seems like he's still lost. He's hesitant to claim that she is just a friend but he's panicked when I said otherwise.”
”Hahaha...” Xiu laughed happily as Nora told her about the detailed encounter with Dylan. ”Looks like I'll have to go easy on him today for being late.”
”You should do that,” agreed Nora. ”Let the boy run after his future for once.”
Xiu rubbed her forehead as she looked at the file of the meeting agenda at her table and sighed out, ”But what should I do with this meeting? I can reschedule the flight if I have to but I can't do the same with the meeting since everyone is already here.”
”Handle it yourself,” answered Nora decisively. ”Don't disturb him. I'm telling you just because he acts as a mistress in your relationship, you don't have to do the same.”
”Ohh, I like the sound of that,” Xiu blurted out as she heard Nora's words.
”Mhmm...” hummed Xiu in reply.
”When will you back?”
”In two days.”
”And how are you gonna survive these two days without your boyfriend?” Nora didn't forget to tease her.
