455 Respect, Abstinence & Curfew! (1/2)

”Now you look absolutely gorgeous,” announced Xiu as she patted Nora's head who looked at the simple jeans with an oversized knitted sweater she was wearing.

Then turned to Xiu with an uncertain look, ”Are you sure about this? I mean, what if he thinks I am taking this very first date very casually?”

Xiu looked at her up and down before saying, ”How is that so?” She fixed Nora's hair as she went on, ”Clothes don't make a man. They can neither make a date special. The reason why I chose this set of clothes is; it's simple and comfortable. Besides, formal clothes only make you feel restless. Casual clothes will give you enough comfort to breathe. Don't worry at all.”

”Have I mentioned that your logics are completely logicless?”

Xiu chuckled at her, ”I know. But so what?”

Nora shook her head at Xiu. Of course, it didn't matter to Xiu at all. No matter how baseless her words were, as long as she was happy with it, who could deny her words?

”Forget it. You tell me where are you going? Why did you get dressed up? Your boyfriend is not even around.”

”My life certainly doesn't revolve around my boyfriend,” retorted Xiu with a firm stance.

”Yes, it does!” Nora's words were clearly like a strike thrown her way which Xiu evaded with an awkward cough.

”Okay, sometimes it does. But... I have a life apart from that as well.”

”Alright. Then tell me who are you seeing?”

”Dylan.”

Nora raised her brows at Xiu and turned around. She rounded around Xiu with a thoughtful look.

”Why are you circling around me?”

”I'm trying to understand...”

”What?”

Nora stopped right in front of her and stared into her eyes straightly. ”You used to find every chance to curse that boss of yours. And now you're eager to see him on a Sunday? What happened?”

Xiu finally understood why she was acting weird. She waved her hand offhandedly, ”Nono, that was when he was my boss. Now he is my ex-boss. I'm more than eager to exploit my rights as HIS boss now. HA. HA. HA.”

Nora pursed her lips at Xiu's weird evil laugh and decided to just stay quiet. Getting between Dylan and Xiu would not end well for her and she knew it very well.

*Ding-Dong!*

Xiu's eyes lit up with mischief as she heard the doorbell and ran towards the door saying, ”I guess your date is here.”

”Xiu, behave yourself! Don't you dare scare him away!” Nora shouted from behind and Xiu only tilted her head to stuck her tongue at her in response.

As Xiu opened the door, indeed it was Ah-Si standing before her. Xiu looked at him and nodded in appreciation at how he looked. In fact, he had tried to dress up as he usually did but his efforts to look good couldn't be hidden from a girl's eyes.

”Hi to you too!” Xiu waved her hand calmly with a bright smile which seemed to be hiding scheming intentions of hers.
