Chapter 52 - Misunderstanding (1/2)
After staying in B City for a week, Han Yue Xiu finally decided to return to Y City and went back home. As soon as she opened up the door, she could see specks of dust floating around everywhere. Instantly, she let out a cough.
”I left this place for a week and look at the amount of dust!”
Li Qin Yao looked around and lifted her hand to cover her nose. ”It was not so bad. Go and open up the window. It will be fine after we clean it up a bit.”
Han Yue Xiu turned to her friend with her eyes wide. ”You're going to help me clean?”
The corner of Li Qin Yao's mouth twitched when her friend gave her that puppy eyes. She pushed Han Yue Xiu inside and said, ”I'll help. Then, you're going to buy me dinner, alright?”
”Sure. Sure. I'll buy you dinner,” Han Yue Xiu said with a helpless expression.
Then, the two girls went inside and cleaned up the apartment a little bit. When they finished, the sky has almost turned dark.
”What do you want to eat?” Han Yue Xiu asked as she slumped on her seat.
Li Qin Yao thought about it for a while before she replied, ”You decide. As someone from Y City, you should know the best place to eat. Surprise me. I'm not picky about food.”
Han Yue Xiu groaned. It was always frustrating when she had to decide on what and where to eat.
At this time, the doorbell rang. The two girls exchanged a glance and Li Qin Yao raised a brow inquiringly. ”Don't tell me you already ordered takeaway?”
”Do you think the food would arrive this quick?” Han Yue Xiu rolled her eyes, grabbed a small pillow and threw it to her friend. ”I'll go and check.” Then, she sat up and walked over to the door. ”Who is it?” The minute she peeked into the peephole, Han Yue Xiu's face turned pale.
Sensing that there was no movement at Han Yue Xiu's side, Li Qin Yao turned around. ”What's wrong?”
The person at the door knocked again.
”You're not going to answer?” Li Qin Yao asked.
Swiftly, Han Yue Xiu put a finger at her lips, signaling her friend to be quiet. ”It's my boss,” Han Yue Xiu spoke in a hushed voice.
”I know you're inside, Han Yue Xiu. I can hear your voice.” the man knocked on the door again. ”Come on. We need to talk. I'm not leaving until you talk to me.”
Han Yue Xiu's widened her eyes. She looked at Li Qin Yao in panic. ”What should I do?”
”How should I know?” Li Qin Yao replied in the same hushed voice. Whether Han Yue Xiu wanted to talk to her ex-boss or not, was a matter that Han Yue Xiu had to figure out herself.
In fact, Han Yue Xiu had heard from the others that her former boss has been looking for her since the day she quit her job. It's just that, she did not expect that he would come and look for her here.
The knocking on the door stopped, but the man's voice could still be heard, urging her to talk to him. After biting at her fingernails and contemplating, Han Yue Xiu took a deep breath and unlocked the door.
”Boss Song, stop making too much noise and disturbing my neighbors,” Han Yue Xiu said. She crossed her arms on her chest. ”Why are you here?”
”Come to work tomorrow.”
”I have resigned.”
