章 1543: Requesting more time

Aiden was telling Michael about the locations and activities that are applicable for Oni's birthday celebration (considering that they have a hand in cast each), when butler announced his presence by clearing his throat.

"Master, Miss Darlene Payne is on the phone."

Aiden frowned. He does not want to talk to that woman. They are aware that Mr. and Mrs. Payne are in police custody, and the Payne family is out of money, so whatever Darlene wants, it will not be a pleasant conversation. Aiden can already hear in his head a lot of crying and asking for unreasonable things and he knows that it will spoil his mood.

Aiden got an idea: "Tell my wife. She will take the call."

"I told Madam first, she refused and told me to find you.", the butler responded in his flat tone.

Aiden looked at Michael. "You are my assistant."
