Chapter 1408 Made You Cry

It was in the evening when Xiang Wai came back with Cloe and Cui Xukun. The latter had actually followed Cloe to her family house to meet her family once. If nothing else, Cloe had to let them know that she was getting married and had to show them her marriage partner too. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Raelle met and saw them, she couldn't tell how things went from their expressions. At least, Xiang Wai seemed like she had a fun day. But that couldn't prove anything. So, when Cloe came to brief about the work matter to Raelle, the latter asked her, "How was it? Seeing your family after all these months?"

"It wasn't anything special," was Cloe's response as she really thought there was nothing special about it. "Everything was exactly the same. No one changed even a little. They still like to disgust me with their ideas."

"Did they do something excessive?" questioned Raelle.

"They wouldn't dare do anything excessive after seeing the bodyguards you sent with me. Besides, this time Cui Xukun was also with me. They won't dare touch me like before."

Raelle agreed that only a fool would touch Cloe in such a situation. But she also knew what kind of a family Cloe had so she purposely left some bodyguards with her. "Did they have an argument with you because of Cui Xukun?"

Cloe scratched her brow with her index finger as she sat down casually and answered, "How could they not argue? They seem to think that they could control me. Since they have been losing control over me, they have already picked a life partner for me too. So, seeing the partner I chose for myself, they certainly weren't happy." Cloe shrugged nonchalantly, "But seeing them unhappy made me really happy."

"As long as you are happy," said Raelle. "You are far out of their reach now. Don't worry about them. Don't be disappointed too."

"We get disappointed when we have expectations. I have long lost all expectation associated with my family." Cloe didn't look sad when she spoke of it and made Raelle relax too. She obviously did not want to see Cloe being entangled by her shameless family. She had seen what kind of people they were. And she had no good opinion of them. "By the way, do you want to know something funnier?"

"You were clearly a person who had few words. But for some reason, from a certain day whenever I did a good job, you'd say 'Good!' Even if it was just one word, it was an affirmation of my work. How strange that I hadn't even noticed this detail before. You were clearly telling me that I'm not useless and I have my own strengths."

"Have you forgotten how I made you cry?" reminded Raelle.

"You did nothing wrong at that time too," replied Cloe. "It was my fault that I mixed up the data for our project which led to almost a big loss if not for your attentiveness. So, I deserved that. I was sad about it for a long time but I was never mad at you for you. I have always been only mad at you when you made me work overtime."

"I think you are thinking too much. I had no noble intentions behind my actions."

"I would not believe that," replied Cloe. "You play a big role in what I have become today. I am very happy that I met you as my boss."

"You have said it so many times that I am tired of it now. Don't compliment me so much. I'm not flattered enough to lessen your burden. Don't forget that I'm going on a long honeymoon after this. You have a lot of work waiting for you."

Cloe's lips twitched and she felt like she just wasted her sentiments on Raelle. This boss was as cruel as ever! How could she pity this employee of hers? She was really overthinking. She should be prepared for long working hours in the upcoming time.

"It's okay. After you come back, I'll also go on a long vacation."

"Why? What's your reason?"

"I also have to get married and go on a honeymoon. Isn't that my right as well? Are you gonna take that right away from me?"
