Chapter 86: Attraction & Asexuality

By four twenty o'clock in the afternoon, Xiu was tired as she let out a groan and arched her aching back. She had spent the whole day sitting in the same position going through piles of documents. Oddly, Dylan hadn't called for her in his office after lunch hours. And staring at the computer screen, her eyes were too dry and her hands were stiff. 

Bending over, she reached for the inside of her purse and retrieved a bottled lotion. Rubbing her hands together to blend the lotion, she was lost in thoughts again. 

It was Friday again and she hadn't heard from Darren since the day she sent him that stupid text. He hadn't been home as well and Xiu didn't know whether she was feeling at ease to know that he wasn't around or bothered. All she knew was that something in her wasn't feeling right. Would it even make sense if she said that she got too comfortable around him too soon?
