Having alighted from the taxi, Gan Yuan stood by the roadside, looking across the street at the Dynasty Hotel. Retrieving her phone with a newly replaced SIM card, she deftly dialed the customer service department's number.
"This is Gan Yuan. Has Mr. Huangfu returned?"
The customer service operator was unaware of her resignation and responded politely upon hearing her name, "Manager Gan, Mr. Huangfu has already returned. Would you like me to transfer your call to his room?"
"No need, thank you."
Gan Yuan hung up and bent down to tighten the laces of her flat shoes.
She had to take away those documents and only risked it this one time. The most dangerous place is often the safest; he probably wouldn't expect her to come back.
Jogging across the street, she glanced towards the lobby and then stepped up the stairs.
"Manager Gan."
The doorman noticed her and promptly greeted her with a polite bow.
Nodding with a smile, Gan Yuan confidently entered the hotel lobby.
