Sam had no choice but to wait till the next day. The next morning, he realized that could not get in touch with Olivia.
He called her several times but all of his calls went unanswered.
He even texted her, but she did not reply either.
After trying for half an hour, Sam hurried over to the third floor of the Sunshine Residence. However, he had no idea which unit she lived in. When he saw that he was cutting close to the deadline, he had no choice but to call his men to check which unit Olivia lived in.
While he waited for his men, Sam decided to call Maddox just in case.
To his surprise, just as Maddox answered his call, he heard Minerva's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"We've never interacted much on the first floor. Let's head up to the second floor."
This was...
Sam thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Young Master Yardley, are you and Young Madam at the Yardley Mansion?"
Maddox's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes."
Sam was overjoyed when he heard his reply. However, he did not let it show. He carefully asked, "Young Master Yardley, about the information that you asked me to compile..."
"I don't have the time right now."
As Maddox spoke, he noticed that Minerva was staring at him. "Who's calling you?" She asked.
"It's nothing." Maddox quickly hung up the phone and walked towards her. "Wrong number. Did you just say that you want to go to the second floor?"
Maddox shoved his phone back into his pocket as he spoke.
Minerva nodded. "Yes, let's head up to the second floor."
Then, she suddenly said as she thought of something, "I wonder if the elevator is working."
"Let's use the stairs. It's safer."
"Alright."
As for Sam, his anger had dissipated in an instant. On the contrary, he was delighted. Since Maddox hung up the phone so abruptly, it meant that he had no time to deal with this matter for now.
As such, even if Sam wasn't able to submit the information by the given deadline, Maddox would not have the time to look for him.
This meant that he still had time to rectify the current situation.
Just then, his men managed to check which unit Olivia lived in. He located the unit and pressed the doorbell.
However, no one answered the door.
Sam called her phone as he pressed the doorbell.
When Sam thought back to the promise she made last night, anger welled up in his chest when he realized that she wasn't answering his call nor replying to his messages. He then kept ringing the doorbell rapidly.
After God knows how long, Sam was relieved when he finally heard the sound of hurried footsteps from the other side of the door accompanied by roars of anger.
"Who is it? It's the butt crack of dawn! Why don't you let me sleep in?"
Creak...
Olivia was stunned when she found Sam standing at the other side of the door with a gloomy face. About two seconds later, she slammed the door in his face.
Bang!
Just as Sam wanted to take a step forward, Olivia slammed the door on him with a frightened face. Not only that, she nearly slammed the door on his nose. Fortunately, his movements were slow, or else, he would have broken his nose.
