Yvonne felt helpless.
"It looks like you won't be revealing anything."
"Miss Attwood, it'll be best for you to ask him directly."
"If I could ask him directly, do I still have to ask you?" She grabbed the keys resentfully and said, "Well, since you're here to deliver the keys, could you send me over to my unit as well? This way, I can save on taxi fares."
Aidan was startled for a moment. Then, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
He wasn't didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
She then said, "Mr. Simpson, please wait for a while. I'll quickly pack up my belongings and check out of this room."
"Okay, Miss Attwood. You can take your time."
"Thank you." She immediately turned around and entered the room to get her belongings.
She called the receptionist to check out first.
Then, she proceeded to pack up her luggage hastily. The whole process only took at most 5
minutes.
Aidan was surprised.
After the check out procedures were completed, Yvonne got into the car. He then drove her to the unit where she used to stay.
After arriving, he parked the car and helped her with her luggage. Soon, they reached the entrance of her unit. He said to her, "Miss Attwood, please enter your unit. I'll go back to the office now."
"Well, please share Zachary's phone number with me," she said.
He was taken aback. He asked, "Don't you have his number already?"
"No," she said. "You can give it to me. Don't worry, I won't let him know that I got his number from you."
"Erm..."
"Is it really impossible for you to share it with me?" Yvonne asked, "I'll find out eventually anyway. I'm just hoping to be able to contact him if anything happens."
"I'm sorry," Aidan shook his head, "I'll have to ask for his permission first."
"Must it be so troublesome?" She was shocked. She then spread out her hands in a helpless manner, "Okay, go ahead and ask him then."
In reality, she wasn't sure if he would agree to share his contact number.
It was so unfair that he could contact her at any time, whereas she would probably have to go to his office if she wanted to look for him.
"President," Aidan had already called him. "Miss Attwood would like to have your phone number."
"Did she resist going to her unit?"
"She's already outside her unit. She accepted the key willingly."
Zachary paused for a moment before saying, "Understood."
He then hung up the call.
Aidan was startled. He wasn't sure whether he had the President's consent to share his phone number.
So, should he share it or not?
Yvonne was looking at him eagerly, "Well, what did he say?"
He shook his head, "I'm sorry, Miss Attwood. Our President did not give his consent in sharing his phone number, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to you."
"I knew this would happen." She wasn't angry at all, "Then when you're back in the office, can you ask Zachary when he would like to see me? I want to meet my daughter."
He paused for a moment before nodding, "Sure."
She continued, "Oh, do ask him what we should do regarding last night as well."
"Last night?" He felt taken aback.
"Just repeat those words to him. He will understand."
"Alright then." Aidan didn't ask for more details.
Soon, he left.
Yvonne opened the door and carried her luggage inside.
As soon as she entered her unit, she was shocked.
The room looked the same as it did a year ago. It was very clean and neat, as if someone had cleaned it up beforehand.
It looked like someone indeed had cleaned it when she was away.
At first glance, Yvonne saw a photo of her daughter and herself on the shelf. Next to it, was another photo of Zachary and their daughter.
