417 Resignation

//Resignation Letter

Dylan\'s eyes widened as he stared at it and then at Xiu who smiled at him. "Are you joking?" Xiu shook her head calmly. "Then what is this?"

"This is what I want to do," said Xiu with a relaxed smile. In fact, she not only looked relaxed but also felt really relaxed. This was the decision she had been avoiding for a long time now. But she didn\'t want to delay it now.

"But why?" asked Dylan. He really couldn\'t understand what was going on through that thick skull of hers. They were a perfect team then why was she suddenly doing this? He squinted his eyes at her, "Someone is trying to poach you, right? Tell me what they are offering? I\'ll definitely double everything!"

Xiu laughed at his reaction. She already knew he wasn\'t gonna accept this easily but didn\'t expect to see him acting like this. "No one is poaching me. I\'m just leaving the job because I want to." She took a deep breath before continuing, "I just want to have some time for myself. I need a break."

"Then take some days off. I don\'t mind," said Dylan without any hesitation.

Xiu smiled at him gratefully, "I\'m going through a very strange phase of life and I need time for myself. I have to think through some things."

Dylan was pouting at her reply. He wanted to say something but she didn\'t give him a chance as she went on, "To be honest, I wanted to leave the job right when I knew that my boyfriend is your best friend." Dylan frowned at her words. "I had already faced the consequences of mixing professional and personal connections. I don\'t wanna repeat that mistake."

Dylan was left startled to hear her reason.

"Xiu, you\'re leaving me?"

Xiu gave him a side-eye before saying, "I had fun working with you Dylan. You had been the best boss although very petty, I still came to like you very much. In fact, you have no idea how much working with you helped me."

Xiu tapped her chin thoughtfully as she continued, "After this whole rebirth fiasco, I had become too bitter. I was trying to avoid being the same good girl that I once was but in reality, I was just trying to be a bitch. I wanted to see why people felt so happy tearing me down and that\'s why I tried to tear others down in return only to realize that it never brought me any satisfaction."

"Then I became your Executive Assistant and that\'s when I learned the importance of teamwork all over again. I thought life would be easy if I kept to myself but I didn\'t realize I was doing the same mistake I did in the previous life." She exhaled sharply before adding, "But now I have learned a lot more. I don\'t feel like the same person anymore. I don\'t even recognize myself anymore. The one who didn\'t even want to be your E.A just because I thought you\'re a spoiled young master and I\'d have to act like a babysitter to you."

Dylan\'s expressions shifted when she mentioned being a \'babysitter\'. He wasn\'t that spoiled now!

"You would have never thought of resigning if you worked with Dazi," said Dylan making Xiu frown a little. "I should have accepted his exchange offer back then."

"Exchange offer?" inquired Xiu curiously.

"Yeah. Back when he selected you out of all other candidates, he even said I can take Paige and he\'ll be happy to work with you." He was grumbling like a baby as he went on, "But it was I who refused."

Xiu abruptly stood up and walked up to his side. Dylan had no idea what she was up to and leaned back. "What? Why are you coming here?"

Xiu held his hand and smiled brightly, "Thank you for refusing that offer."

"Huh?"

"If I had really been Regan\'s employee, I think I\'d have never asked him out. No matter how bold and blatant I am."

"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.
