12 Enchantment
"Hmph. Riley got up from the bench and walked around Zack in front of her, "Do you mean anything by that?" she walked to the closed door, tugging at the handle, frowning at the twisted lock, "You have to pay for this, vampire." ”
Zach pursed his lips and turned with Riley, watching as the charm looked irritated and sat down at a table full of papers. Don't seem to want to talk to Zach very much.
"Zach. Zach picked up his chair again, walked over to Riley's table, and sat down, "You can call me Zach." Zach narrowed his eyes and confirmed the name tag on her chest, "I'll call you Riley." Zach smiled, "Since we're all 'civilized people', don't use race to refer to each other, how barbaric." ”
"Whatever you want. Riley picked up the messy manuscript paper, put a clean white paper in front of her, took a pen, and seemed to be about to write something, "Just say what you're here for, you just saw it, I still have important things to deal with." ”
Riley took a pen and wrote on a blank piece of paper, 'How do you get 2 million?' and then drew an unusually large question mark at the end of the sentence. This should be the amount of compensation that the lawyer just asked.
The corners of Zack's mouth tugged at him, with a smile, "You don't really blame me for this, do you?" Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at Riley, "The lawyer is just a messenger, it doesn't make sense for you to solve him." ”
Riley's pen was underlined back and forth under the sentences she had written, apparently she had no clue, and the irritation on her face increased a little when she heard Zack's words, and she glanced up at Zack. "I'm beautiful, but I'm not stupid. I know it's useless, I just want to buy a little time. ”
Riley seemed irritable. The pen in her hand kept thickening and underlining, "Why can't I blame you?" she looked up at the wall clock on the wall, "Now I only have two hours to think about how to get the money." Don't blame you, who do you blame?!"
The deadline given by the lawyer is before lunch.
Zach raised his eyebrows, looked away from Riley, and began to wander around the poor newsroom, ready to change the subject, "Are you the only one here?"
Riley looked at Zack's expression as he deliberately shifted the subject. Shaking his head, there was sincere disappointment on his face, and the reason was in the back. Now, she let out a sigh of relief and explained, seemingly casually, "I let them go for a while. These ordinary people have no other use than to make up stories. ”
Zach turned his gaze back. Glanced at Riley. So this magazine's, uh, 'soul' well, that's her.
But now instead of lamenting the inspirational story of a demon to support a magazine, putting aside the crisis events that Zach happened to witness, we should remember that Zach came here to find someone.
"You mean make up a story?" Riley gave Zach the opening point, "as a loyal reader. I must say, the story of your magazine is very wonderful......"
"Fewer vampires. Riley waved her hand and rolled her eyes, "Zach, the subscription to the Grande Funeral Home started this year, and it's only been half a year now. Riley tugged at the corners of her mouth, her face full of disdain, "Is this considered loyalty for three or four centuries of your life, and your loyalty is a little too cheap." ”
Zach blinked, forget it, still don't refute, waved his hand, his tone was a little helpless, Zack's luck has not been very good recently, everyone seems to be inclined to hate him, "At least in the past six months, I have become very accustomed to reading your magazines on Monday mornings, I think this is a compliment to you, you should accept it." ”
"Whatever, I accept it. Riley replied indifferently, then frowned and wrote a line of words under the underline, 'Grab a bank'.
Zach frowned, reached out and pressed Riley's hand holding the pen, crossed out the words he had just written, and continued to say what he was here for, "I'm here because there's a story in today's magazine, and I think it's wonderful......"
Riley glanced at Zack, slapped Zack's hand away, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a hint of inexplicable smile, "Do you mean the article "Justice in the Night"? ”
Zach's newly withdrawn hand reached out again, as Riley then wrote, 'Rob Liszt'.
Zach directly ripped the paper in front of Riley, tore it, threw it aside, and shook his head, "Yes." It's so exciting, it's simply a new breakthrough for your magazine. Try to understand Zack's words, the breakthrough refers to the transition from funny stories to non-fiction, and when Zach said this, he didn't have the excitement of a fan.
"So much so that I'm already a fan of the new author, and I hope to meet him. Zach said sternly.
"Then go ahead. Riley chuckled, not minding that Zach had taken her paper, pulled out a blank piece of paper again, laid it out in front of him, and re-wrote, 'How did you get 2 million?' with a question mark.
Zach pouted and waited for a while, Riley didn't look like she wanted to tell her, and Zach could only frown, "Zack, I want his real name and address." Either you give it to me, or I find it out myself, and you choose. ”
"What are you going to do with him? when you see him. Riley looked at Zach with interest and didn't write any nonsense on the paper in front of her for the time being, "Look around." ”
She raised her hand and waved at the terrible office environment, squeezing her eyes, "The reality is very difficult, and we are lucky to have a new author who can make you feel as a breakthrough for 'loyal readers'." She raised an eyebrow, "I really don't want anything unfortunate to happen to him, so, what do you want to do to him? I hope it's not a bad thing." ”
Zach narrowed his eyes and looked at Riley, "Is that you?"
"Heh!" Riley seemed to be in a happy mood, "God, no, I don't have that many resources to know what is not even reported in the newspapers. And if it were me, I'd come up with a pseudonym that would be more in line with me. She raised an eyebrow and seemed to really start thinking about her pen name, "Think about it, what do you think of Pink Hime?"
Zach frowned, "Okay Riley. Zach is not very satisfied that he has directly explained his intentions, and the other party is still acting in circles, you know. This kind of thing is usually done by Zach to others, "Maybe you don't know, my process of getting here was not smooth. Having been interrupted many times, my patience is limited. ”
Riley held out a finger and nodded at Zach, "Your patience is small enough. Didn't you just sell some second-hand furniture for you old man Grande, as for the unevenness? Riley raised an eyebrow, "You're even more 'stingy' than I guessed." "Stinginess in a broad sense. Refers to the amount of gas.
Zach frowned, "What did you say." ”
"Didn't you hear? Riley waved her hand and lowered her head. She seemed to have thought of some crooked idea again, and began to write 'cheat an inheritance' on the paper in front of her, followed by 'candidate, question mark, West Ender, question mark', "You weren't the old man who went to replace you Grande before." Well. It's called Hank, right, selling old furniture? Am I not right? ”
Zach looked away and thought for a moment, the impression of the demon did not have the ability to understand the mind, "You're right. ”
Zach looked at Riley again, but instead of reaching out again to stop Riley from writing down his idea of deviating morality, he snorted softly, "If it weren't for this little delay. I wouldn't have just run into your crisis and now seen your true 'character' with my own eyes. ”
"Huh. Riley chuckled as well. "My real 'character', do you think I'm planning something wrong?" she picked up the paper in front of her and stood in front of Zach, "Do you have any comments on the way I solved the crisis?"
As he spoke, something was written on the piece of paper that was shown in front of Zack, and it was connected like this-
"How did you get 2 million?"
Cheats an inheritance.
Candidates: West Siders?
The elderly, one-time action, easy to get their hands on. 』
Zach shrugged his shoulders and chuckled with mockery, "No opinion, after all, you're a charmer, and you're good at it." ”
"Yes. Riley withdrew the paper and glanced at what she had written, "But I won't deny that there are people who are better at this kind of thing." She raised an eyebrow at Zack, "Do you think there's any difference between me and you?"
The mockery in Zack's eyes disappeared, and he frowned, and the words were slow, "Me, and you?"
"yes. Riley copied Zack's expression, chuckling with mockery, "When your funeral home was in financial crisis, it seemed to be no different from what I am doing now." Isn't it, Master Grande? ”
Zach narrowed his eyes and stared at Riley, this was no longer a matter of understanding!
"But you're lucky to have those old men and women walk through Grande's door. Riley smiled, "I just need to knock on the door myself." ”
The reason for Grande's career transformation, the initial beginning of this story, is that Grande wants money from those people in the West End! It's so simple! It's just that Zach didn't ask for it directly with a pair of red eyes! So as Riley said now, there is no difference between her and Zack!
"Oh, yes. Riley looked at what she had written, "Maybe I should ask you, the seniors who are one step ahead, those old guys, who is easier to start?"
"I don't have much to say to you. Zach closed his gaze and looked at his fingers in front of him. Before he could find out the details of this demon, Zach could still be patient.
"Yes. Riley's tone was disappointed, then vanished, chuckling again, "I see, because you Grande and the Westside have a long-standing relationship. ”
Zach frowned again.
"I was too short-sighted. Riley's mood seemed to be completely relaxed, and she glanced at Zach, her source of inspiration, "I should take a long-term view and learn from you Grande." ”
Then, the sound of soft writing sounded, and Zach looked at his fingers and couldn't help but look at what Riley had written.
"Old man, one-time action, easy to get. (crossed out)
Bisharp, long-term relationship. 』
Zach frowned, and his gaze shifted to Riley, who was looking at him. Riley spoke first, smiling all over her face, "What, is it the right person I chose?"
Suitable.
The huge rift in the Bishop family, Mr. Bishop's private emotional history, these things that have not been made public to the public, but all happened in Grande's gaze, are all factors that make Riley the demon get her wish!
However, this is another thing that should not be known to a magazine editor.
Zach's eyes were red, "Now, Charm, you'd better be careful with every question I ask......"
The pink eyes were red, "Mr. Vampire, when you ask a question, can you please first...... soft female voice with its own echo began to radiate a pink halo, lingering in this space.
On the dilapidated wooden frame in the corner, the phone rang at an inopportune time.
'Ding Ding Ding ......'
The forces that overlapped to some extent pushed each other between the two aliens, and it was difficult to see who had the upper hand, but it could be seen from the two men and women sitting opposite each other, one frowning and stern, the other delicate and shy, with a hint of impatience in their eyes, at the phone that vibrated and sounded a bell-breaking tone.
The ringtone terminates.
The impatience in the looks of the two disappeared and continued.
'Ding Ding Ding ......'
The bell rang again, and there must be a persistent person on the other side of the phone.
A pink halo began to gather around, and the second wave of the demon's attack was coming.
Zach's brow furrowed, forcing himself to look more intently into Riley's eyes. Our vampire won't allow himself to fail once after he has just returned from the failed Pupil of Charm product, Ryan. But he really picked an opponent who was not easy to prove his ability.
The halo of gathered pink became more and more intense, and without warning, a fluorescent arm stretched out from the rich pink, and the doppelganger of the demon appeared.
A second Riley appeared at Zach's side, her smooth skin with a pink halo gently slid down the side of Zach's cheek and hugged Zach.
The third Riley also stepped out of the pink and snuggled gently into Zach's leg.
A fourth Riley appeared, limp and grabbed Zach's arm......
The fifth Riley shows up, guess what she did?
Lifted by a pink halo, she floated into the corner. She picked up the phone, "Madison, preferably you." ”
Zach was distracted for a split second, the second Riley began to chuckle in Zach's ear, the third Riley began to rub the side of Kerry's leg, and the fourth Riley began to gently rub Zack's shoulder.
Zach frowned, keeping his eyes on the demon across the table, trying to stand up. The sixth Riley appeared on the table, her white jade-like legs bent slightly, and her toes touched Zack's shoulders that she tried to lean forward, softening into Zack's arms......
Crimson seemed to flow out of Zack's eyes, sharp teeth poking out from under his twitching lips, sharp fingertips piercing the armrests of the chair and into Zack's own palms.
"Ah, thank goodness it's you, Madison, I shouldn't have tested your boss, I can't hold him back......"
Tear and pull!
Many of Riley's turned into a pink halo and dissipated little by little.
Zach had vanished from his seat, shrouded in a scattered pink halo, and appeared in the corner. He caught the phone receiver that had fallen in a pink halo and glanced at Riley, who was still sitting in place, gasping for breath on the table, "Madison, explain. (To be continued......)
