454 The Tables Turned (2/2)

It must be tiring but I can assure you, better days are ahead. You just need to have faith in yourself. Don't ever give up on yourself.'

Xiu folded the letter and put it back just the way it was. ”Don't give up on yourself?” Xiu sniggered. ”I wasn't strong like you. I just had to give up.”

”Xiu!”

Xiu slid the letter under the pillow and stared at Nora who suddenly barged into her room. ”What's up?”

”Which one looks good?” asked Nora as she showed her two dresses. One was in red color and the other was black.

”Where is he taking you?”

”I don't know,” answered Nora.

”If you don't know why are you dressing up for a dinner date? Wear something casual, don't be so obvious now.”

”Are you saying that I'm being way too obvious?” Nora's face fell as she stared at the dresses in her hands.

Xiu nodded her head, ”You look like a predator who is gonna pounce on the prey at any chance given.”

”Xiu!”

Xiu laughed at her, ”Sorry. I won't joke now. But you really need to change.” Xiu got up to help her as she said, ”Isn't it ironic how you used to say that you'll never need my help when it comes to dating and dressing up since you're an expert? Now, look at how you're running after me.”

”You're actually enjoying this, aren't you?”

”Very much,” replied Xiu without holding back her smile. ”When is he picking you up?”

”In an hour or so.”

”Wow! You're still choosing the dress? What did you do last night?”

”I was lost in...”

”Daydreaming?”

Nora pouted at Xiu while the latter just shook her head helplessly. Oh, it was fun to see Nora at the other end of teasing. When she started dating Darren, Nora had done her fair share of teasing. Now, the tables were turned.
