Chapter 35: Asking Permission For Sawyer
"Of course, you can, Miss Abigail. But may I know his name? So I can share this information with the other guards. That way, your friend can visit you anytime..." Brody replied calmly.
"My friend’s name is Sawyer Jones," Abigail said shyly as she mentioned Sawyer’s name.
Somehow, thinking about him warmed her heart again. However, Abigail didn’t understand how the rule was needed in the first place; why did she need permission from her landlord so Sawyer could visit her?
Brody awkwardly smiled as he heard Abigail mention his boss’s name.
Now, it became clear to Brody why his boss had recently stopped asking him to accompany him and what Ethan had told him about Abigail Snow: she was the woman their boss liked, and Ethan had arranged for her to live on the rooftop.
Brody felt happy that his boss finally had a woman he was interested in; after so many years, he seemed to have closed his heart to any woman. Since they moved here two years ago, no female guests had crossed the gate, and no female staff member had worked in the house.
"Okay, Miss Abigail. I’ll write it on the notes board and make sure Mr. Sawyer Jones can visit you anytime," Brody replied with a friendly smile.
"Thank you so much, Brody. You’re so kind," Abigail responded shyly, quickly excusing herself. She needed to get to the café. She had spent too much time here.

After seeing Abigail leave, Brody quickly entered the main house and headed to the third floor to report good news to his boss. This news would indeed be something his boss was eager to hear, right?
Hearing Sawyer’s voice inviting him to enter, Brody immediately opened the door. He saw Sawyer reading something on his iPad and Ethan sitting across from him, typing on his laptop.
