On Saturday morning, everything had a calm and beautiful precipitation.

On the western border of the West End, beneath the elevated highway where the roaring train was whizzing, a lone house trembled slightly with a rumbling sound. But the people here seem to be completely adapted to this kind of noise, and they are not affected to do their own thing.

"Mother?" Willy, with his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair, looked at the woman in front of the mirror arranging her civilian clothes, "Aren't you resting today?

The woman seemed a little dazed, and after an inexplicable moment, she turned her head and replied with a smile, "Well, yes, I've rested." She touched the dark circles that were still noticeable under her eyes, and picked up the brush, trying to cover up the black blue.

"Is it working?" Willie continued, his fingers on the armrest pinching the front of the armrest. Obviously, he didn't want his mother to return to the manor haunted by the spirits!

"Uh, no, it's not. The woman shook her head, and she smiled at Willy in the mirror, "I just received a call from the manor that I am going to a union meeting as a representative of Bishop Manor. ”

"Union?" Willie's face was puzzled.

"The maids' union. The woman put down the brush in her hand and straightened her clothes again, with a smile on her face, "It's been a bit of a good result these days, uh......" There was a hesitation on her face again, as if the words didn't feel right, "It's a tragedy than Sharp, but, anyway, it's okay for our family." ”

Willie frowned, not extending the topic further, "How long is it going to go?"

"I don't know. The woman seemed to be in a good mood, smiled, and began to organize her bag, "This is the first time I have attended such a meeting, and it is said that representatives of each manor will get together. Summarize your work and discuss issues such as benefits and benefits. The woman looked up at Willy, "Are you going? No one said you can't bring relatives, it's going to be done in Liszt's Mansion." Hehe, if we'd been in Ogier's shabby apartment, we'd never get to go to a place like this. I'm so glad we're in the West End. It should be fun, come with me, will you?"

"Well......," Willy thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'll be at home." ”

The woman's face was a little disappointed, and at the same time there was some regret on her face, "Okay. But rest assured, my son's salary is very good now, and it won't be long before we can move to a crowded place. You can also make some friends and it won't be so boring. ”

Willie frowned, lowered his head, and seemed a little embarrassed, "I have friends......"

"Really?" the woman seemed a little happy, always happy to hear that her child had friends, "Who is it?" Let's face it, they live in a place where there are no people around. A teenager in a wheelchair, where did the friend come from!

The woman frowned, "Willy, you didn't contact that weird neighbor (Danny) again, he's not your friend! he's not a good guy at all! Have you forgotten that we've been threatened because of him?"

"No mother!" Willy immediately denied, turning his wheelchair behind the woman. Facing the woman, he said, "All right, you can go!"

"Good, good!" the woman was shoved out of the bedroom, "Wait, my nameplate!" she bypassed Willy. In the drawer of the bedside table, she pulled out a name tag with her picture, 'Julie', which read.

"Come back early!" Willy reminded as he watched his mother go out.

"Well, I'll call you when I get there. Julie smiled, stepped out of the front porch, and by the way, somewhat helplessly kicked off the gravel that I don't know who had placed on the small slope of the front porch, and left.

Julie came out a little early, which was helpless because she didn't have a car, and she had to walk for at least twenty minutes on an unmanned road to see the first bus stop. And today is Saturday, and there must be a lot of people on vacation in the West End going to Liszt in the North End, and Julie doesn't want to be late for the first time to attend a union event.

The bus to the North End stopped and went, and Julie sat by the window, not minding the bright sun shining on her face, and she counted her salary while looking out the window at the gradually increasing number of buildings, and when to live in a house in a busy place.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction, doesn't it? Who would have thought that she had only been on the job for a few days, and that she had been promoted twice, and that Mrs. Sharp seemed to trust her a lot when she was still around. Oh, Mrs. Bishop, I can't call her Mrs. Bisharp anymore, by the way, what was Mrs. Bishop's original last name, thank you, Sher, well, Ms. Sher, may she be well.

It seems to be true, the bus is a place where people can easily diverge their thinking.

As for Mr. Bisharp, who seems to be a useless man, forget it, as long as he remembers to pay himself, take care of him. By the way, and the poor old Bishop, I hope they rest in peace......

When the bus stopped again, a pair of young women came up, and they were arguing with each other, "Amanda (Mrs. Quinn's caretaker)! I only have this morning's vacation! Can't you let me get a good night's sleep!"

"Emma (the little policewoman in the North Side who is interesting to Benjamin)!How long has it been since you have been with me!" Amanda forced her friend to the back of the bus, looking for a seat, "Every time I look for you, you are working, working! Is it amazing to be a policeman? Tell me, are you out of that front desk now?!Have you been out on field duty once?!ah?!"

Emma's face was aggrieved, and Amanda pulled her not to speak, it seems that this little policewoman with big dreams is still a humble front desk, and she has not achieved anything in her career.

"Stop talking?" Amanda was not prepared to let her friend go, "Who told you to go to the North District Police Station! You deserve it! In the South District, let your father say a few words in front of Mrs. Patton, you might be a police detective! You have to go to the North District!

There are no more empty seats on the buses that have stopped several times. Julie picked up the bag that occupied a spot beside her, smiled at the two young women who were looking for a vacant seat, and continued to turn her head to look out the window, where did her divergent thoughts just come to mind?Oh yes, may the old Bisharp rest in peace......

Amanda saw the vacancy. Thankfully, she smiled at the strange woman (Julie) and pressed Emma to her seat, rolling her eyes in a girlish manner, "You're sitting! I'm standing! satisfied?!"

"Amanda!" Emma glared at Amanda complainingly, pursed her lips, but sat down in her seat with peace of mind. I closed my tired eyes.

Is there anything busy at the North District Police Station? Yes, the little front desk policewoman fell asleep in her seat in two minutes. With the slight shaking of the body, Amanda's head shook dishonestly on the backrest, tilted, and fell on Julie's shoulder.

Julie turned her eyes back from the car window in some surprise, looked at the strange little girl (Emma) who seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and then at the little girl (Amanda) who was smiling with embarrassment and apologies on her face, and shook her head with a smile to show that she didn't mind. Gently readjusted the posture of holding the bag. Make Emma who is asleep next to her more comfortable.

Amanda seemed to notice something when Julie adjusted her posture, and asked in a low voice, "Hello, are you also going to the union meeting?" As she spoke, Amanda took out a name tag with her photo from her bag and showed it to Julie, a woman who seemed to be full of kindness.

Julie saw the name on the name tag clearly, 'Amanda', smiled and gently took out the name tag that showed a corner in the bag, and also gestured to Amanda. "Hello, nice to meet you. Amanda. ”

"Me too, Julie. Amanda read the name on the name tag and felt as if it was necessary to introduce her 'rude' friend who fell asleep on someone's shoulder, "Uh, this is my friend, I forcibly dragged him to the party." I'm sorry. Her work is somewhat, well, tired. Amanda pursed her lips, obviously not very sincere, 'deserved'. This is her true heart.

"Oh, I heard it just now. Julie smiled and waved her hand, "Being a police officer should be hard, it's okay." ”

"Hehehe. Amanda laughed meaninglessly, "yes, hard work, hehe." She shook her head, complaining that her friend's cherished work was not a good thing while she was asleep, and she changed the subject, "By the way, Julie, I haven't seen you before, is this the first time you've participated in such an event? ”

"yes. "Julie doesn't mind chatting with her 'colleague' in advance, after all, it is said that this party is basically a big chat, "The first time, oh, I worked at Bishop Manor, at first Bishop Lady Sharp was the exclusive maid, and then ......" Julie's voice disappeared for a moment, and she gave Amanda a knowing look, "Now it's the maître d'am." ”

Amanda opened her mouth, as if she understood, and then there was regret on her face, and her voice became quieter, "Oh, are you the one who arranged the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Sharp? ”

Don't be distracted by the information that comes out of this conversation, focus!

Julie's eyes were a little sluggish, and she nodded, "Well, two things happened too suddenly......"

"Well, no wonder no one heard a little bit of news from Sharp Manor the other day, as if you all, well, 'disappeared', and no one could be contacted......" Amanda looked at Julie's eyes, as if she wanted to test something. We should know who the so-called maid union is for in essence. However, after all, this topic didn't seem to be suitable for discussion on the bus, and Amanda shook her head, "Is it better than Mr. Sharp?"

The look in Julie's eyes refocused, and there was an elusive look on her face, "It's okay, huh." "It seems that he has inadvertently revealed his sincerity," he said, "I have already started to give interviews." ”

"Interview?" Amanda's tone seemed a little uncomfortable, she had just said that Sharp Manor seemed to have been lost for a while, and now she had reappeared and had begun to be interviewed.

"Huh. Julie waved her hand, "Not a journalist, an editor, a magazine editor of a weekly story that I've never heard of, a beautiful female editor." Julie, who had finished describing a simple matter in a few short sentences, shook her head, with an inexplicable chuckle on her face, "I don't know what's going on in these people's minds, I'm just a maid." ”

Amanda raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Aren't we all all?" Sometimes I don't know what Mrs. Quinn is thinking, by the way, has Sharp Manor received a belated memorial gift from Lady Quinin?a bundle of soul-attracting grass? ”

"Hehe, we received, the person in charge of the funeral, the person in charge of the Grande funeral home. Julie smiled, as if she remembered something interesting, "It seems to be called Louise, and now Barton can't find these things, I didn't expect Mrs. Quinn to be in love with Indo-An culture, and it would be nice to receive it sooner." However, since it is a private funeral, these unnecessary traditions are not necessary. ”

"Lou, Louise. "I'm going to get off the hook here, obviously, you know the reason," I remember, the owner of the Grande funeral home......" Look, Amanda tried to put it tactfully, "Isn't it Zach and Mr. Benjamin Grande? Oh, I used to deal with Mr. Quinn's funeral." ”

"Yes. Julie nodded, "But I heard from the person in charge named Louise that the two Grandeurs are busy right now, well, it seems that Zach is busy in their cremation branch......" Julie glanced at Amanda, "The matter of Herman's compensation is in the newspaper." "I don't have to explain much," said the other Benjamin, who didn't seem to see ...... all along.

"Well...... the little policewoman on Julie's shoulder opened her eyes in confusion, "Ben, what's wrong with Benjamin." But she immediately noticed that she was sleeping on the shoulder of a stranger, sat upright in a panic, and apologized to Julie, "Yes, I'm sorry, I fell asleep......"

Amanda rolled her eyes and complained in a bad tone, "Leave her alone, Julie." She's not from our 'side'!"

"Amanda!" Emma glared a little annoyed, "If you do this again, I won't be with you!"

"Alright, alright!" Amanda ruffled Emma's somewhat loose hair, "Don't mess with you, help me introduce the new friends I just met, you have to thank them." Amanda smiled and pointed at Julie, "This is Julie from Bishop Manor." ”

Emma turned her head to look at Julie, who seemed to be still apologizing for accidentally falling asleep on someone else's shoulder, "Ah, Julie, I'm sorry......"

Amanda continued to smile at Julie, acting as an introduction, "Her name is Emma, and her father is the steward of Barton Manor and one of the directors of our union. ”

The bright sunlight fell on Julie through the car window. Look, everything is getting better, more than a week ago, she was a single mother who was forced to move from the North Side to the strange West Side, no job, no connections, and now ...... (To be continued......)
