Old Hank grabbed the suede rag and rubbed it back and forth on the corner of the coffin on the far right side of the exhibition hall, as if he was not in a good mood. He glanced at Zach, who was sitting behind the counter, "How long will Louise come out!"

"I don't know. Zach didn't take his eyes off the magazine spread out - Monday, hey, the new issue of Urban Legends arrived.

"Tsk!" said old Hank, flicking the rag and not wiping it, "so you'll be sitting here for the next few days!"

"Yes. Zach flipped the page and answered.

"Tsk!" old Hank tugged at the corners of his mouth and left.

Zach glanced at the back of old Hank leaving, a little sad, he was actually disliked, thinking that when Louise had not started working for Grande, the old man had never expressed any opinion on Zach Grande's management methods. Now, hey, why?

We can answer this question, the Grande funeral home is getting better and better, and this, sincerely, is not brought by Zach.

As for why Zach didn't stay in the office and came to the showroom for entertainment, Benjamin came down from the elevator in the reception room, and looked at Zach who was reading a book leisurely behind the counter with some unhappiness, "I'm not used to it, change." ”

"Alice, they're just gone, you can hold on longer, Benjamin. Zach smiled and waved his hand, not ready to get out of his place.

By the way, Alice and Yuehua Baiying went to the nursery of [Parker Elementary School], which is a continuation of the last press conference. Now that the success of the nursery has been recognized, the first phase of Lola's project is complete, and a new phase is about to begin, remember, the renovation of Parker Elementary.

I think I mentioned at a nursery meeting that the renovation of Park Elementary School was delayed due to something going on in the West Side and couldn't take place during the summer. Now the summer vacation is coming to an end. As the new semester begins, Lola and her sisters will borrow space from the community college in Back Bay to renovate Park Elementary School without affecting the progress of elementary schooling.

And this step requires preparation, and you can't expect it from a community college. There are educational facilities that can meet the needs of elementary school students.

Alice is Lola's helper. From a practical point of view, a girl like Alice who has to be accompanied when she goes out is really useless. But from the perspective of a public welfare project, Alice is too useful, at least those community college students, can't refuse a girl who can provide much better than the cafeteria and ask them to help empty the first floor of the library......

Yes, Lola, who is short of money, can only use this means of kindness and exchange of benefits to carry out her project.

"Tsk. Benjamin stared at the magazine in front of Zach, presumably his motives weren't pure. "How can you be sure that Reimer will be contacted, if I were them, read a letter like that, I wouldn't pay attention to you, I, we, uh. ”

Faith, what faith, we pretend not to know.

Zach looked at Benjamin with a smile. "Do you think that the letter is not well written, and that they will hate it?"

"Of course. I wouldn't write that kind of thing at all. I'm the alpha of only Matthew's clan, and I don't care about racial gossip other than me. "So what the Hidden Alliance is gone, and only half of the werewolf's racial enemies are left, this kind of saying is not from Benjamin's heart, "I'm not the lord of Barton either, and I don't care that their Reimer's Varmina technology is stolen." So it is ironic that Reimer connived at Boyson's continued existence. Nor from Benjamin.

So what does Benjamin care about?" I just want Cordy to get a statement he can understand, to complete the commission. "We can now admit that we know about the letter, well, as if there was no mention of a commission in it.

Zach shrugged slightly, "To complete the commission." Reimer can help. "And we don't want Eve to think she's helping, do we?" ”

What does it mean? To be helped, you have to pay it back. In Eve's eyes, is it a very willing thing to help Lord Barton? Of course not, if Barton didn't have this alpha, without the lord, Remmer would be more open-handed. If you do, you will ask for 'return'. In Eve's eyes, what can be asked from the lord of Barton to be beneficial to Remer?

Don't think about it, because, Benjamin, our Alpha, not Lord Barton, whatever Reimer wants, Benjamin can't give, hehe.

"Still. Benjamin didn't hide it either, and went around the back of the counter, huddled around Zach, and read Grande's lazy entertainment book, "Urban Legends," "I don't think mocking them will lead to any good results." ”

"If they feel ridiculed. "Zach has nothing to hide," said I. The letter came from his mouth, and Benjamin was just writing, "Eve didn't have much choice, I at least showed her a way." Whether to continue to let Boyson set up in the West End, or find and dispose of this guy, I believe she will make the right choice. ”

Zach turned the page a little fast, Benjamin hadn't seen anything yet, he had already been flipped, simply, his eyes off the magazine, frowned and looked at Zack's side face, "You don't have a clue at all, don't you, you don't know how to reply to Cordy in the end." ”

Isn't it?,The truth came out yesterday in the basement on the east side.,Although the specific reason is not known.,But it's been shown that it's just a conspiracy of the adults in the West Side.,No matter how much this matter is whitewashed.,It's not something that can be told to a little boy.。 And what Zach is planning now is just filling in the truth, is it really helpful for the commission.

"Not at all. Zach simply admitted, "Do you have a clue?"

"Nope. Benjamin turned his gaze and could only admit it.

"Don't be so negative. Zach glanced at Benjamin, "After everything is cleared, I'm thinking about how to explain it to Cody." I don't think we need to underestimate Cody's receptivity, do we? "yes, West End kids, some of their views on things are a bit surprising, remember what Cordy said about the West End Police and James, it's so realistic that many adults don't want to believe it.

"I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't take this commission. Benjamin shook his head and looked back at the magazine, still Zach was turning the pages.

"Not true. Zach glanced at the title of the article that had been flipped over with some indifference, as if he was not interested in any of these things, "I'm the one who won't pick up." I talked to Fisher first, and I only thought of it as a little boy for a while. You, you know that Sbella has always been right about you, so you'll take it. Cordy has found the right person. ”

Benjamin pursed his lips, he couldn't sense whether Zach was complimenting or mocking, "What the hell are you flipping! ”

"Madison didn't contribute to this issue. Zach closed the magazine and handed it to Benjamin. Pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, "It looks like the contradiction between him and Riley ......"

Benjamin doesn't care if there's Madison in this issue, it's just a joke book, "You think too much." Benjamin leaned straight against the counter, opened the magazine, and from the beginning he didn't want to miss a joke.

"It's not that I'm thinking too much. Zach tilted his head, "Don't you think last week's club was a remnant." Can you write a great story? Zach raised an eyebrow, "I've thought of the title, "Terrorism in Terror", and the subtitle is, "The Real Darkness of Fight Club." ”

Well, Zach is already a big reader of Urban Legends, and he's starting to worry about the magazine. Benjamin just gave a hum and didn't bother to pay attention.

"Benjamin. I'm serious. Zach looked at Benjamin, who was already reading, "The attack of the club's remnants." There's so much to write about, not to mention the 'heroic' deeds of James and Corson that have been hyped up in the news these days, the remnants of Gangaro, humans, the Saints Club idea, the intervention of Torredo the Magnum, and the Demon Contractor...... There's no way Madison could have put down such a rich subject matter. Zach shook his head, "It's impossible for Urban Legends to give up such a good theme." But I flipped through the whole book, and there was no related story in this issue at all. ”

Zach had a serious look on his face. Honestly, our vampire way of thinking. It's really hard to figure out, "It's okay if Madison didn't write it, and the magazine itself doesn't write it, I think there's a problem." ”

"What could be the problem. Benjamin was so much smarter, he didn't bother to keep up with Zach's thoughts. "What do you expect someone to write if they do? The last time Fight Club broke at Barton, I thought it was over, but this retaliatory attack was triggered. According to the style of this magazine, who knows if the published things will attract something to retaliate against. ”

Zach was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he raised his eyebrows, as if he had some epiphany, and looked at Benjamin with adoring eyes, God knows if he was sincere, "So that's it, it's like this, it's like this." "I don't know what this inexplicable repetition means, I'm afraid this thing is not played, but the follow-up will not be carried out here.

Benjamin glanced at Zach, didn't bother to ask, closed the magazine and glanced at Grande's front door, "I'm going up, hmph, you're going to stay here, stay well." "Gone.

Because there are guests coming.

Donna, a middle-aged woman, who was like an ordinary peasant woman, ran over with small steps, and the messy hair on her forehead was casually pushed to the side, giving Zach a big smile, "Mr. Grande! Where's Miss Louise?"

Zach smiled back, "She's a little uncomfortable and resting." ”

"Oh!" said the simple woman, with a concerned expression, "is she alright?"

"It's okay to get a good rest. Zach replied nonsense, his eyes already on the woman's Chinese clip. This thing should be familiar to everyone, it's been almost half a month, and this plan document that was covered with 'Old Donna's funeral arrangement' was pushed back and forth between Grande and Donna's house, "Does Mrs. Donna have any new requirements?"

"Hehe, it's not there this time. The woman seemed genuinely happy and handed over the folder, "Mother is very satisfied with all the arrangements, and I have come this time to set a date for the funeral." Probably sensing that she shouldn't be happy when she talked about this topic, she looked embarrassed for a moment, but tried to hide it with a smile. What an honest woman.

Zach didn't show any behavior that might deepen the embarrassment of the other party, looked at the arrangement that had been revised back and forth many times, and nodded, "Okay, so I don't know if Lady Donna has an idea about the date?"

"Well—not really. The woman thought for a while, then suddenly changed the subject, "Father, father is here, well, how is it?"

It was a strange question, her father was a corpse lying in the basement on the east side of Grande for a long time. Excuse me, what can I do?

However, Zach is a professional funeral owner, "Mr. Donna's body is well preserved, you can rest assured." If you want to ask about grooming...... Zach flipped to the funeral arrangement documents, about the requirements for the grooming of the body at the farewell ceremony, "Before the date of the funeral is set, it is impossible for our side to reflect the grooming." ”

"Oh, yes, yes......" The woman smiled to hide her embarrassment, apparently not asking that.

Zach wasn't impatient either, and thought for a moment, "Madame, do you want to see Mr. Donna?"

Almost to Zach's last note, "Yes!" replied quickly. But immediately the woman's face became embarrassed again, she lowered her head, and her eyes turned around, surely realizing that her request was strange, "I, that, I want to see my father, the old man has been for so long, I, we haven't settled him well." Do, be a daughter, I, I always feel a little sorry for my father, I think, I want to say to my father in person, don't I ......"

Zach opened his mouth slightly, the woman in front of him, how true his heart is!

Can you say no? Zach can't.

"Madame, please. Zach didn't have much to drag, pointed the way behind the counter and pushed open the back door.

"But, is that okay?"

Zach smiled and maintained a leading posture, "But ma'am, yesterday we Grande just picked up a drowning body and did some tidying up, and the smell of the underground may be a little sad. ”

"No, it's fine!" the woman followed behind Zack, her hand already holding the cross pendant on her chest. This is not surprising, the main faith of the Federation is the Holy Lord, although the woman just wants to say sorry to her deceased father, but in the eyes of this ordinary person, the only thing that can convey this is the prayer of faith.

Bypassing the back porch and going down from the east door, Zach pushed the door open, glanced at Sloane the Soul Walker who was still inside, and raised his voice as he walked to the cabinet where Mr. Donna Sr. was, and said to Sloane, "Let's go out first, give this lady some space." ”

The woman glanced at Zach gratefully, and then gestured to Sloane who retreated with equal gratitude. Oh, and to her, Sloan was just a stranger.

"Call me when it's over. Zakla stepped out of the freezer, no longer disturbing the father-daughter life-and-death communication, and left the basement.

Anyway, waiting is waiting, Zach glanced at Sloan, who was also waiting outside, "How's it going?"

"Not good. Sloane grimaced, "Very bad. (To be continued.) )
