417 Resignation (2/2)

”Huh?”

”I just told you, I learned from my mistake. Dating your boss never ends well.”

”Oh...” that's all that came out of his mouth as he stared at her face.

”Now you don't have to worry about anything, I've already chosen the next candidate for you. And I even personally looked over that candidate's performance. You won't have to worry at all.”

”You came prepared, eh?”

Xiu nodded her head, ”Yes. I did come prepared. I told you, it's a well-planned decision. I'm a random person but I don't take such a step just randomly.” She patted his shoulder. ”We'll see each other often, comrade! But this time, I'll be walking through that door as your sister-in-law and I'll be the one bossing you around.”

Dylan couldn't help laughing at her. ”Now I get it. You want to boss me around and don't wanna be bossed around by me.”

”Bingo!” chirped Xiu before rubbing his head. ”I feel like love has made you smart.”

”On a serious note, what do you plan to do now?”

Xiu thought about it before shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly, ”I don't know yet. I'll figure it out when I feel like it. For now, I have way too many plans.”

”Plans?”

”Yes,” nodded Xiu. ”I have a dinner plan with Cali, then I'm gonna take my mother-in-law for coffee tomorrow. I might have lunch with your mother. Then I'm thinking about calling Ying Jie out for fun or maybe I'll stay with Nora. Who knows. I might do everything.”

Listening to her plans, Dylan was certain that she was really busy. How cute!

”But Dylan the point here is that I'd like to do something for myself now.” She was being completely honest with him. ”I have spent two lifetimes just working. I don't wanna do it anymore. I want to learn about what my dream is. What I really want to do.”

”I'll miss you,” said Dylan as he stood up to hug her.

Xiu was taken aback by this gesture but she still patted his head saying, ”Oi, don't be so sentimental. We'd see each other almost every other day.”

”But I'll still miss having you around,” added Dylan sadly.

”I'll be coming to see you more often than you think.”

”I think I'd like that.” Dylan smiled at her softly.
