Chapter 653

Standing by the door, Sissi did not want to part with Patrick, and her eyes brimmed with reluctance. "You're going back so soon?" "It's getting late, and don't you have morning classes tomorrow?" Patrick asked.

Sissi nodded regretfully and said, "Then, I'll see you off downstairs?"

"It's fine. I'll use the lift, it's more convenient," said Patrick.

Sissi then whined, half-joking and half-complaining, "Why are you like this? Can't you tell I want to chat with you a bit longer?"

Patrick was taken aback. A few moments passed before he finally made a compromise. "Alright then, if you don't mind."

"As long as it's you, I won't mind," Sissi said naturally.

As they talked, Sissi stepped out of the door in eagerness, pulling the door close in the process. And with a beep, the digital password lock lit up.

Meeting Patrick's deep gaze, Sissi said frankly, "Look, I've even shut the door. There's no reason for you to say no to me now."

Finding the door not secure enough, Patrick said, "Lock the door with the key again."

Sissi took a glance at the password lock. "We already have this, I don't think we need to be that careful."

The look in Patrick's eyes showed disapproval at that. "We have to add another layer of security, only this way the bad guys won't have a chance at intruding." "Fine then, I carry the key with me all the time anyway."

Reaching into her pocket, she fished out a pristine key and locked the door. Turning back around, she smiled at Patrick. "Mr. Patrick, do you finally feel at ease now?" The two of them then moved down the floors slowly in the elevator.

Because Sissi stayed on the sixteenth floor, the elevator stopped several times on their way down as more and more residents filed in.
