72 Childlike Innocence

Dylan wasn't able to stifle his laughter anymore. He laughed out heartily as he settled in his swivel chair. Xiu was surprised to see him laughing since from the time she knew him, he was always grumpy and broody. He looked like a cheery and happy kid now. There was a childlike innocence on his face which was hard to ignore. 

"Sir..." She gingerly spoke out, "Let bygones be bygones. I believe you're a bigger person. You won't hold this small matter against me, right?"

Dylan laughed again at her words without replying to her. She had to speak up again, "Be the bigger one, let's move on. Eh? I even made you laugh. I had a friend who used to say that the biggest gift which you can offer someone is a smile."

Dylan rubbed his jaw and said, "Ms. Bai, you can stop now. I've already buried this hatchet." Xiu looked surprised. "But I have a question for you... You could have really resigned, I know you'd have a lot of job offers. Did it not cross your mind?"
