Wearing a hat with a bald head is a very special experience. The skin that has never been exposed to the world is now closely attached to the lining of the hat. It didn't feel good, and he didn't know whether it was because the hair was growing back and sprouting, or because the scalp, which had always been protected by the hair, was refusing to be touched by the fabric. Madison couldn't restrain herself from unconsciously wanting to pry open the brim of the hat and apply a layer of cloth on it. Put the urge.
When he subconsciously raised his hand again, put his pen into the brim of the hat, and poked it up and down, Madison suddenly froze there.
He heard something.
Sounds that don’t belong here—
itch. This is the most intuitive feeling. There is also a hint of annoyance, like the sight of creeping mold on the corner of a wooden table during the humid season. Something is there that shouldn't be there, that unclear vagueness, that growing itching. Who would have thought that wearing a hat with a bald head would be such an uncomfortable feeling. *
"Who's talking!!" Madison stared, scanning his office - there was no one else's office except his.
The voice continued.
Madison decided to remove the hat. *
Madison instinctively took off her hat and stopped wiping the sweat on her head, "Who is talking?! Why do you know my name?!!"
But he decided to forget it. Sooner or later he would have to get used to this feeling. It had been too long since he had shown the part above his eyebrows to the world, and he didn't want to start from now on - to be so naked and straightforward... Haha, literally white, who knew? The scalp that breathed air for the first time was whiter than my butt~*
"Isn't this fun?!" Madison stood up from the chair, the corners of her eyes twitching, trying to control herself not to rush to the bathroom immediately to confirm whether her head was whiter than her ass, "Leon?! Isn't it? You?! Stop!"
"Did you call me?" The office door opened, and Demon Leon looked at Madison, blinking his black eyes.
"You..." stop after pronouncing a title because the sound is still going on.
But let's face it, his irritability isn't all down to his new 'hair', it's more to do with the work he's doing now. In about five minutes, an honest young man will come to pick up today's work report every morning, but the work report in front of him is still blank. *
Madison quickly looked at the time first, and then looked down at the work report in front of him—in five minutes, Matthew, who was always punctual, would come to pick up the report. However, this report was completed yesterday, and now it is just an inspection. Madison is very serious about his work.
Madison himself didn't know how his brain worked. "You said it wrong!" he said to the air.
"What did I say?" Leon continued to blink.
"I didn't talk to you!!" Madison glared at Leon, "Can't you hear..."
Interrupted? No, the voice wasn't talking about anyone at all, so there was no interruption. It was just that when it made the sound, Madison listened uncontrollably -
There is one more thing to worry about. How to define the life of an older single man, haha, how much hair and work are left. He's used to wearing hats, so hair is probably the last thing he cares about, and then, yes, work. The report to the blood-sucking boss was already making Madison uncomfortable. Now, he was faced with a new question, "Sir, can I talk to you?" An employee came to his office. . *
Madison stared at Leon, almost with hatred, "Get out! Now!!"
Leon was still blinking, "What? Madison, do you have a fever? Didn't you call me?"
"Get out! Now!!" Madison was probably a little nervous, "Now is not a good time..."
"Whatever~" Leon interrupted, "But I have something to tell you~ Hey, get ready~" Leon rubbed his hands with a happy and excited face.
"Now is not a good time, Leon." Madison's instinctive rejection may be due to some bad premonitions. After all, the current funeral industry...
"No, sir, I really need to talk to you." The employee named Leon lowered his head, and his hesitant and uneasy look made Madison even more sure of his hunch - "I can't work here anymore. I'm leaving. Here... Oops! Sorry, sir! I'm resigning!"*
Madison stared at Leon, her cheeks twitching, "Resign?! You want to resign!??"
Leon was stunned for a moment, "How did you know?" Then he suddenly rushed to Madison, with a smile on his face, "Ah! I know~ You are not too stupid~ The cremation is suspended, I will stay here. There is nothing to do, and this job is not interesting anymore~ I have to leave~"
Madison's face darkened, and she pushed away Leon's smiling face, "Who the hell are you?!"
The office was quiet for a moment, and Madison waved his hand. He didn't even want to ask why. It was obvious that everyone knew that if he could resign, he would resign. *
"Who is who??" Leon followed Madison's gaze around the office. After confirming that no one else was there except the two of them, Leon raised his hand to hold Madison's face and pointed it towards him, "You still Okay, Madison?”
If it weren't for Leon's smiling face at this moment, I might have thought he was caring about Madison—
"Ha, I'm the one who cares~ But don't you ask why I want to resign?"
"Who cares about you!" Madison said subconsciously, pushing away the hand on her face, "I don't have time to talk to you now..."
"Go to the finance department to get this month's salary." Madison said to the employee Leon.
"Thank you, sir!"*
"You still have to give me this month's salary~" Leon shook his head.
Madison's face was twitching, "Disappear from my eyes!" As a result, the way he spoke was a bit ferocious, well, more than a little, very.
"The Lord bless you, relax, man~" Leon raised his eyebrows, "You know I just want to be responsible and save myself some trouble~"
What is Leon talking about? It's okay, he explained himself, "I don't want to be around when the police often come to 'hang around', investigate here, investigate that, and are found to have left without even getting paid~ It looks so suspicious, being considered It would be bad for the suspect who stole the fuel, right~"
Madison didn't have time to respond.
"I'll say hello to the police." Madison said with a reassuring look, "Your work record has always been very good. Don't worry, it won't affect your future."
"Thank you, sir!"*
"But seriously!" Leon started blinking again, like skipping a frame, "I thought you would be more, um, a little more excited ~ After all, you finally got rid of me. Haven't you always hated me? I'm always here Instigate some... Haha, you know~ Could it be that after a long time of falling in love, you fell in love with me? "
Madison's face was also skipping frames. If he could, Madison would really kick Leon, but why waste his energy? 'Lion' is just a container. Leon won't feel any pain. "Is that done? Get out of here."
"It's so cold~" he shook his head and turned around.
But Madison’s voice that really wanted to be shut up didn’t go away.
Looking at Leon's back preparing to go out, Madison sighed, and finally gave some help to this employee who has been with him for such a long time, "Leon, have you found a new job? Do you need me to write a letter of recommendation for you?" It’s effortless.”
"Is that okay? Thank you! Thank you, sir!"*
"Oh, by the way." Leon suddenly turned his head, "One more thing, you have to write me a letter of recommendation. I want to show it to my new boss~"
Madison's face now doesn't skip frames, it's broken. It's like, well, almost every two seconds, all the muscles in the face change angles and become stiff.
"What's that expression on your face?" Leon was unhappy, "I'm not asking you to lie for me or anything like that. Just write about my work status honestly~ Haha, occasionally I instigate my colleagues to make small bets and have small fights. Playing with corpses in the middle of the night... Oh no~" Leon covered his mouth, "I let it slip." Then he looked at Madison seriously, "I swear to the Holy Lord, I didn't do anything too profane to those remains."
"roll!"
"If you don't write it, I'll ask Zach to write it." Leon raised his eyebrows, "Yes! Let Zach write it better and be more convincing~ Hehe, just pretend I didn't say it, Madison, don't take it to heart~ No need to trouble you~"
Just when Madison had taken out a new piece of paper and started organizing the best comments about a person in his mind.
"Uh... Sir, let's forget it. No, don't bother. I, I don't want others to know about my funeral home work resume..."
Madison was silent. He gently put down his pen. *
Madison threw away the pen in his hand, "Try saying something again!!" he yelled into the air.
"Uh, Madison?" Leon had already walked to the door, rubbing against the doorframe nervously, "Are you sure you're okay? What are you excited about? What did I say? Vampire? Uh, I didn't expect you to care about this. Thing, you haven’t woken up yet?”
"Shut up..." Madison couldn't vent her anger properly -
The young man knocked on the door even though it was already open. Madison knew it was time to turn in her work report. *
"Hey! Matthew~" Leon enthusiastically hugged Matthew, who was a little awkward, "That's right. I'll go to Grande with you later. Is Zach here?"
"No, he's out."
"Uh, where did you go?"
"Pai Siying, go find the Novelles."
"Well, those Novelles make me feel uncomfortable all over." Leon curled his lips, "Forget it, I'll go find him, I won't bother you anymore~" Finally, he gave Madison a playful smile, "Goodbye~"
Leon, an employee who had just resigned, knew that he was no longer suitable to stay here. Finally, he gave Madison an apology and gratitude farewell, exited the office, and left the place to the people who still work here. As for Madison, looking at the blank work report in front of him, he could only quickly change his mood and look for reasons why he had not completed the work. *
Madison must be really sick. After being weird for so long, a victorious smile appeared on his face - he picked up the full work report, sorted it out, aligned it, bound it, and handed it to Matthew, " I also appended some thoughts about the funeral that the client had after returning from Grande yesterday, saying that he wanted to add some traditional details from out of town and let Zach, hum, let Louise see it."
I have not forgotten that the reason why the mill gave Grande this business was because his relatives were from out of town.
"Yes." Matthew nodded honestly, probably subconsciously, and flipped through it to confirm that the appendix was there. Then, "Uh, Madison? Did you get the wrong one? These are blank sheets of paper."
"These are blank papers." The honest young man pursed his lips and put down the report handed over by Madison, "Sir, you must have taken it by mistake."
"Ah? A blank piece of paper?" Madison was not a good liar. He exaggeratedly took the blank piece of paper that had just been handed out because his mind was blank, and turned it over vigorously, "Oh my god, how could it be a blank piece of paper?" Woolen cloth??"*
"Oh my god! How can it be a blank piece of paper?!" Madison grabbed the work report in Matthew's hand and turned over the pages of writing, "This is not a blank piece of paper! Isn't it all filled with words! I I wrote until midnight yesterday..."
Madison's terrible lie continued, "Where is the report I wrote? I wrote it very late yesterday..."*
"Shut up!" Madison raised her head sharply and stared at the ceiling, "Shut up!! I swear you are saying a word..."
Probably out of sympathy, the honest young man turned his attention away from Madison's exaggerated performance. "Did it get mixed up with some other documents?"
I can only bite the bullet and say, "Oh, let me look for it..."*
Matthew glanced at the empty ceiling uneasily, "Sir? Who are you talking to..." Being stared at by Madison's ferocious eyes, Matthew pursed his lips and said, "Uh." He could only focus on himself. thing, he came to get the work report, then, "Is it with other documents..."
"Shut up! Don't finish this sentence!!" Madison took action directly and covered Matthew's mouth, "Stop talking! Don't say a word!"
Matthew looked at Madison a little at a loss and nodded.
It was really quiet. Except for Matthew's increasingly heavy breathing as he was covered, Madison couldn't even hear her own breathing.
The silence lasted for half a minute, and then the phone rang.
"Stop talking!" Madison stared at Matthew, let go of his hand, took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Grand Funeral Home..."
"It's me, haha, Madison." It was Ms. West.
"Yes, it's you..." Madison's heartbeat was a little chaotic.
"Haha, can I come over here?"
"You, you want to come over?"
"Well, I'm writing your story. Haha, I'm trying to imagine a picture of your work. Haha, you know, the work situation that has given you a lot of pressure recently. I tried to write it, and it feels good. , I am quite satisfied to be able to bring the current crisis in the funeral industry into the plot, but there are some details, well, I still don’t quite understand. I’m not very familiar with the work content of the funeral industry. I want to do an on-the-spot investigation, haha, do you mind?"
Madison held the receiver and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The other side of the receiver seemed to have misunderstood, "Oh, for example, I heard you say before that you would write a work report for your boss, right? But I have no idea what you would write. What can the funeral industry do? Report. Didn’t Mr. Morris always emphasize that real things can resonate with people? I tried to be lucky and leave this part blank, but ah, I just felt stuck and couldn’t write anymore. I shouldn’t be lucky. , it’s better to ask you for advice.”
Stuck, haha, stuck.
"Come on." Madison's face was unexpectedly calm, "I'll wait for you."
"Thank you~Wait for me~"(.)
