330 Anything Can Go Wrong (1/2)

”Sweets?”

Darren was dumbstruck at that adorable person beaming at him from the door. She didn't even take a minute before she skipped her way to his side and wrapped her arms around his neck. Darren looked over her shoulder at his mother who looked amused. He opened his mouth to tell her about another person in the room but his mother's narrowed eyes made him shut up.

As for Xiu, she was the perfect example of having eyes for only one person. Because as long as Darren was in her line of sight, the rest of the world could simply go to hell for all she cared.

Xiu pulled away from him and sliding his laptop to a side, she simply perched herself on his desk and started dangling her legs like a little kid while her hands were holding his. ”You must be wondering how I got here, right?” Without waiting for Darren's reply, she went on, ”Well, we finished our work sooner so we took the early flight back. Actually, I could have come back last night just as it was originally planned but that stupid and dumb boss of mine is really useless sometimes. I really wonder what really is in that big head of his. I'd love to open his skull to see what kind of nonsense in filled in there.”

Darren tilted his head slightly while trying to muffle his laughter. He was used to Xiu's chirpy behavior but knowing her, she really was gonna regret it later on. ”Sweets, you're bad-mouthing my best friend.”

Xiu tapped his shoulder, ”Correction! I'm bad-mouthing my boss which as an employee is my personal and basic right.” She beamed to herself again, ”Besides, why would I bad-mouth a friend? That's no good. I'd rather curse my boss than my good friend named Dylan.”

”Dylan and your boss... Sweets, that's the same person,” reminded Darren gently.

Xiu shook her head with her cheeks puffed up adorably. ”Nah, Nah, Nah! My boss is simply a dumb person. Dylan is adorably dumb. As I said, a big difference! Bad mouthing the boss is the only thrilling and exciting thing in an employee's life.”

”Hmm... That means my employees also bad-mouth me.”

”Who did it? Tell me! I'll smack anyone who dares to bad-mouth my boyfriend.”

Darren facepalmed himself seeing her reaction then he stretched his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear while she kept talking and talking and just talking. Damn! She was really hyper for some unknown reason. He placed his hand on her forehead making her frown.

”What are you doing?”
