11 New Grande
On Sundays, the construction of the Grande also followed the rules of rest left by the Holy Lord, and was closed.
Grande's master also chose to return on this day, and it has nothing to do with the faith of the Holy Lord, but the busy time of the mill has passed, and Zach is coming back to welcome the people who are about to return from Newton Comical, and Benjamin is coming back.
Zach, who had returned, stepped into the main entrance of Grande with a sidekick, and walked past the completely changed reception...... Oh, and it's the new showroom.
"This staircase. Brian, carrying a childish backpack, curiously looked at the stairs that went straight up against the wall after entering the door, and against the wall on the south side, leading directly to the new office on the second floor, "Where is it connected?"
"Office. Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked around. The progress of the construction was very much in line with the notice he received, the new layout had been completed, the new Grande skeleton had been laid, and the next step was to fill in.
As Zach had done before, when he walked into the new reception room, where the old office was located, he remembered that there was no way to go here. What was once an old office has been completely transformed into a new reception room, with an elevator separated by a winding corridor.
Zach's hand pressed against what had once been the side door of his office, and he pouted in emotion. At this time, the wall in front of him had completely separated Grande's living and working quarters, although he knew that behind this wall was the stairwell, but he could not go through, and now the only place to enter the short side of the L-shaped from the interior was in the new office on the second floor.
"Is this an elevator?" shouted Brian, walking around the unadorned and furnished reception room, finding the cloister and standing in front of a wooden gate.
"Sort of. Zach also walked over, and with the idea of trying it, he pulled open the wooden fence and stood in a small space as closed as an elevator.
There is still a bit of a difference between an elevator and an elevator. The new gadget of Grande doesn't have any complicated functions, similar to the exclusive elevator in James's attic, simply stopping at two points and taking people up and down, and the order of bringing people can only go up and down first, and this round must be completed without a mistake or mistake. For if it is above, those below will wait......
When Austin first explained the so-called privacy. It turns out that not only the reception room and the office for discussing matters are divided into two floors, but also this meaning.
The elevator vibrated and the clatter of the steel cable and the mechanical rotation could be clearly heard, making people doubt the safety of the thing. Soon, the elevator stopped, and Zach pushed open the wooden fence and walked down a winding corridor again, finally standing in front of the door of his new office.
The door opened.
"I heard someone coming up. Louise smiled and winked at Zack.
"It's a bit loud indeed. Zach pouted and walked into the office. An unexpected sense of familiarity.
"The elevator was just installed yesterday. Louise laughed, "Austin said it still needs to be adjusted." She walked past Zach and walked to the elevator to stand outside the door and look inside, "He said don't use it yet, I listen to this, it's too different from the feeling of the James family, we are all afraid that this thing will rise halfway down and fall, we dare not use it." ”
Zach looked no different from his former office furnishings. It's just a display that turns all the directions, loudly responding to Louise's words. "Then we are really lucky that peace has come up. ”
"Well, I'm lucky. Louise came back with an eyebrow, smiled and opened her hand, and motioned to the new office, "How is it? We got it yesterday for a day. ”
I don't know if it was deliberate or what, Louise kept ignoring Brian, who was curious and looking around.
Zach smiled and walked around, feeling the subtle illusion of direction.
The original office, perennial closed windows on the north side. Lift the curtains to see who's coming on the dirt road outside Grande. Now on the south side, because the north side is a corridor and an elevator, and when you open the curtains, you can only see the Grande backyard, and there is no one at this time, and the hammock is empty.
Everything in this office is changed with the north-south flip of this window, the desk, the bookcase, the clock, the workbench...... What remains unchanged is the doors that open on both sides in the east-west direction.
Zach pushed open the door on the east side, which was still the door to the outside of the office, and at this time the staircase connecting the new exhibition hall was located, Zach stood out, leaned against the guardrail of the staircase, looked down, felt the open space, and nodded.
Then there was the door on the west side, and when Zach pushed it open, he looked down and saw Alice walking through the stairwell below into the backyard. Forward, turning a corner, I saw old Hank walking from one room to another with a cardboard box.
"It turns out that the master bedroom has been changed and completely turned into a recreation room as you said. Louise smiled and explained, "Well, it's a bit like Grande's living room now, old Hank has made a new sofa, and the original wardrobe, bed, etc., have been removed." ”
"What about the other rooms?" asked Zach.
"Old Hank, Alice, Matthew, I, Danny, and an empty one more, continued to be used as a guest room. "Don't ask why there's no Zack's room, he has a basement, and Louise's room.
Zach seemed to think of something, "By the way, the guest room, give him a stay." Zach casually gestured to Brian, who was still looking around curiously.
"Oh. Louise lowered her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, as if casually asking, "Do you want to stay for a long time?"
That's the time to remind Zach.
Zach frowned, looked at Brian, who suddenly became nervous and no longer looked around, was silent for a while, shook his head, and looked away, "Depend on luck." ”
What Zach really wants to say is that it's up to Ryan when he comes out, he can patch Ian's failed Charm Pupil, and then the guy can go. However, asking when one personality, the other who will share his body with him, will come out, seems to be a difficult question to ask, at least Zach can't ask, so it can only be luck.
It was so long at the mill that Ryan hadn't come out once, and Zach had it down to bad luck.
Louise nodded, glanced at Brian, pursed her lips, and gestured to a room on the side of the hallway, "There, go and drop your things, don't walk around if it's okay, and don't mess with Grande's things." Furniture and the like, old Hank will scold. The toilet and bathroom are at the end of the hallway, knock on the door before entering, there are girls and old people living here, be careful. Well, then remembered. This is not your home, follow the rules. ”
It sounds like just a woman who was and was just a guest of Grande, imparting experience.
Zach raised an eyebrow, feeling Louise's strange tone, and didn't speak for a while.
Brian nodded, staring childishly, like a child listening to an adult, and didn't seem to feel anything unusual.
Louise looked at Brian again and frowned. Presumably, this kind of wanton expression of rejection without being noticed by the other party is uncomfortable, "Go ahead." Louise looked away, Zach didn't mean to help him, a little unhappy, "Don't come to the office if you have nothing to do, this is where Grande works and takes care of business, don't disturb ......"
Say it at the same time. Louise grabbed Zach's arm and headed back to the office. But I didn't expect that. Louise was interrupted.
"I can help too!" said Brian, a little excitedly, "I'll help at the mill! The funeral home job is right! I can do it! I'm doing a good job! When I came here today, Madison gave me a bonus! It's my first time making money! Look, you see!" Brian took off his backpack, pulled out a check, and pestled it in front of Louise's face. The amount is not small.
Naturally, it won't be small, it was given by Madison, who had questioned Zach when he was going to tell Brian the truth about his mother, and it couldn't be small.
Louise closed her mouth in the middle of speaking, glaring at Zach and no longer caring about the excitement of showing off her first check. Zach dragged an eyebrow into the office and closed the door.
"You've brought him back!" had nothing to do with the content, Louise was questioning.
"yes. Zach genuinely wondered what Louise was thinking, "What's wrong?"
"He's Emilia's patient!" Louise felt after answering two surprise phone calls five days ago in the early morning, Grande's breakfast, "Maybe you have some responsibility, but how did you bring him to Grande now, did Emilia completely push him to you?"
Zach blinked, and finally, he seemed to feel a little bit where Louise's inexplicable temper came from five days ago. Raising an eyebrow, Zach laughed, "Hehehe......" The man's self-esteem was satisfied in a peculiar way.
"What are you laughing at!" Louise pursed her lips as she watched Zach walk over to the bookcase, unleash a stack of books in a familiar and slightly disorganized position, pull out a bottle and glass, smile up, and lean back against her desk, "It's not funny. ”
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore. Zach shook his glass, no laughter, but still a smile on his face, "You say that, I suspect that Emilia planned it this way, pushing Brian to me." ”
Louise rolled her eyes, she didn't want an acknowledgement. Uh, what woman wants to get when questioned is admission, uh.
"Alright, alright, let's be serious. Zach patted Louise's arm soothingly, shamelessly staying there, "When I was at the mill, Brian had an appointment for a session, and was supposed to see Emilia for counseling, but it didn't happen. ”
Zach is explaining. I still remember that when Brian went with Zack, he said that he also had a regular trip to Emilia's place, so he brought his medical records with him.
"When the appointment was confirmed, Emilia knew he was with me and skipped the treatment. As you should know, she's also busy, juggling her own work and squeezing in time for Mrs. Quinn to prepare for the asylum project. ”
"That's not the reason. Louise took Zack's hand and removed her arm, throwing it into the air, "She's a doctor, he's a patient." The project of the shelter should be done in her spare time, how can it take up her work time!"
Zach could only reluctantly withdraw his hand, "Okay, then how about I remind her like this, let her be responsible for her patients, and reschedule the appointment?"
Louise didn't seem satisfied, "And then, where does Brian go back after his treatment?"
That's the real problem. Louise mentions that Amilia's responsibility to the patient is just her own careful knot, and the real change for Grande is that Brian lives with Grande just like that.
"Here. Zach also pouted helplessly, "I can't let this Brian go back to his own home until I fix the mistakes Ian made in the past." Zach repeated what he had said to Madison.
Louise opened her mouth, and after all, everyone's hearts were soft. Louise closed her mouth again and shook her head, but immediately, she pinched Zach's outstretched paw and threw it into the air, "You get used to the new environment! I'm going to sort out the decoration of the new showroom and the reception room! Austin, they gave us the idea for today!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, looked at Louise, who had turned to open the door, and made a final effort, "Don't you have to report to me the summary of the work of the past few days, such as the funeral of the old Bishop and his wife?"
"I thought you had learned to read work reports from Madison!" Louise didn't really look back, and closed the door with her backhand, "Right on your desk!" She knew Zach had heard.
Zach looked at the door that had been closed again, pouted, took a sip of 'wine', turned his head to look at the desk, and sure enough, there was a stack of papers next to the phone that had been re-placed.
Our vampire sighed, and after five days, sat down in his comfortable office chair again, pulled the papers, and flipped through them.
Details of the funeral of the elder Bishop, such as the fact that Bishop was responsible for contacting the family of Grande Funeral was Julie, who received the condolences at the funeral secretly...... Louise actually had instant feedback to Zack, and the entire funeral was arranged remotely by Zack.
So what Zach is looking at now is actually a very official documentary-style document, digging out all the traces of his alien race, and finally the remaining simple funeral home record document. Once there are no problems with the check, it will be kept in the basement. In the future, if anyone is interested in this funeral, they only need to show the search warrant, and Grande's owner, Zack, can show the obligation of a good citizen and cooperate with it.
Zach, who returned to Grande, seemed to immediately enter the rhythm of life that he had always had in Grande, idle, and had a lot of time to be bored.
After reading the report, Zach shook his wine glass, pulled the corners of his mouth, and picked up the newspaper that Louise had probably forgotten here.
Oh, these days' newspapers are bound to be something that people or aliens related to Grande care about, because they want to pay attention to the news of Bishop Manor!
Fortunately, everything is the same as Zach arranged, and it is developing smoothly and smoothly. Louise flipped through the pages and there were reports about Bishop — divorce, inheritance, and a small corner where Bishop sued the security company.
Zach glanced at it, and lost interest, he had stopped paying attention to Bisharp since yesterday.
Zach flipped through the newspaper and began to look for other things, keywords were the Southeast, corpses in the sea, police non-disclosure agreements...... any of them.
By the way, isn't the Comic Con group coming back, Benjamin is coming back, so Zach went back to Grande and waited. But don't forget, James is coming back, too.
Zach felt it would be better to get some tips from James before he returned to the then-hectic police station in the North End.
It didn't mean anything else, Zach just wanted to say early, "James, this has nothing to do with me." (To be continued......)
