Ring—
The phone on the desk abruptly rang.
Gan Yuan's heart tightened, and after a moment's deliberation, she stretched out her finger and pressed the speaker button.
Immediately, the butler's voice came from the phone.
"Miss Locke, how can I assist you?"
"May I ask if Miss Gan is there?"
The pleasant and gentle female voice was recognized by Gan Yuan as Qian Xueying's.
Was Qian Xueying seeking her out on Moses's instruction?
"Please hold on, I'll go upstairs to see if the miss is awake," the butler said softly as he placed the phone down.
"No need, I'm already awake!" Gan Yuan reached out to pick up the handset, "Miss Qian, may I ask what it is you need?"
"Miss Gan, hello," said Qian Xueying over the phone, her tone polite and warm. "I'm very sorry for not being able to receive you in time last night due to guests at our house; we all deeply regret it."
Gan Yuan smiled, "It's okay."
