441 My Husband (2/2)

”You heard that? So fast?”

”News travels fast but Dylan's mouth runs faster,” replied Paige making Xiu laugh out at the truth in her words.

”This is why I love you, pretty lady. If I didn't know any better, I'd actually think you're one of his ex-girlfriends badmouthing him.” Xiu was still having difficulty in holding back her laughter.

”What if I am one of his ex-girlfriends?” Paige's words made Xiu's face to stiffen as she stared at Paige in horror.

”Don't tell me!” Xiu covered her mouth with her hand.

”Either you're really that gullible or you love acting dumb,” remarked Paige calmly. ”If I had really been one of his ex-girlfriends, I assure you I wouldn't be bisexual. I'd have come to despise men.”

”Hey! He's not that bad though,” Xiu couldn't help defending her one and only brother-in-law with whom she had a very unique love-hate relationship and a siblings bond.

”You aren't one of his exes, that's why you say that. He indeed is a good person but he's the worst kind of boyfriend.” Xiu couldn't believe Paige's words at all. ”But that depends on if he's serious about his feelings or not. Although I don't know his first girlfriend, I've heard of rumors of how good of a boyfriend he was back then. So, I guess his good side only comes when he is being sincere.”

”That's good to know,” Xiu muttered to herself as she rubbed her chest in comfort. ”I got a scare for a second thinking about Cali.”

”You look...”

Xiu looked up at her as she noticed Paige's eyes looking her up and down. ”Pretty gorgeous, right?”

”Haggard.” Xiu's face fell as she touched her face.

”Is the blush not working or what?”

”Are you sick?” Xiu shook her head. ”Then what's with that strange complexion?”

”Lack of sleep,” answered Xiu and decided to move over this topic. ”Anyways, my boyfriend is inside?”

”Yes, he is.”

”He is alone?”

Paige pursed her lips when Xiu questioned that. Apparently, Xiu was really scared of entering Darren's office like she did last time and ended up making a fool out of herself before his mother. It was fortunate that Francesca was an easygoing person otherwise, Xiu definitely thought she lost all her chances of currying favors with her mother-in-law.

”Your ex-boss is also inside,” replied Paige to give Xiu a heads up this time around. She really didn't want this lady boss to storm out of here like last time.

”What is my mistress doing here?” questioned Xiu to mostly herself but Paige heard her loud and clear. ”It's the weekend. Shouldn't he be courting his girl? Why the hell is he bothering my husband?”
