" I'll require one thing from you before you leave". Erie stood up and picked up her bag.
" What would that be?" Ying Yue picked up her bag as well and they both exited the apartment.
Ying Yue reclosed the door of the apartment while Erie waited for her several steps away. She joined her right after she had closed the door.
" I'll need you to leave your phone with me for a few days". Said Erie in a straightforward tone.
Ying Yue didn't understand the significance behind her friend's words and asked her straightforwardly: " What do you require my phone for?"
She answered: " With your phone, I'll be able to help you more efficiently. I need to make phone calls at different time intervals which is why I'll need your phone in that regard".
Ying Yue finally understood the significance behind her friend's words. She looked through her bag, picked up the phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Erie right after.
" Thank you!"
