Chapter 15. Too Drunk To Drink (2)
The car sped all the way. Xi Xiaye first brought the documents back to the company. By the time she came out, it was already after working hours, and the sky had already turned dark outside.
Downstairs, her assistant Xiao Mei bade her goodbye. “Director Xi, I’ll go home first. Drive safely!”
Xi Xiaye looked up at the still night sky. She thought about it, then said, “Get in my car. It’s on the way. I’ll give you a ride.”
“There’s no need, Director Xi. There’s still the town bus at this time anyway! It’s too troublesome. I don’t want to trouble you.” Xiao Mei smiled in gratitude.
“The town bus should be quite crowded at this hour. Coincidentally, I want to go to the tea shop near your place for some tea leaves,” Xi Xiaye calmly said before taking out the car keys from her pocket and marching over to the driver’s seat. She pulled the car door open and very quickly hopped in.
Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment before she leaped into the front passenger seat. She put on her seatbelt and thanked her with a broad grin. “Thank you, Director Xi!”
Xi Xiaye nodded slightly before she casually put a CD into the player before starting the car. Then, they were on their way.
The songs that blasted out of the speakers was the perfect music for speeding. Xiao Mei thought the music was familiar, yet she could not put her finger on their titles. She turned to look at Xi Xiaye, noticing that she was leaning her head in one hand while she draped the arm on the car window. The other hand gripped the steering wheel steadily as her weary eyes stared ahead. A cool breeze continued to pour in from the car window, riling up her beautiful hair…
She somehow felt a faint air of repression and desolation.
