Within the two-hour limit, more than ten minutes were wasted to return to Grande. Zach poured himself a real lunch first, and Benjamin joined Grande's lunch queue without too much effort.
The vampire in the office leisurely dialed the number of Saint Sissi's new home while enjoying the food in the cup.
"Let Eli answer the phone." Hearing Sissi's voice, Zach made a very direct request. Grande, who just defeated the Devils for the Saints, has immediate confidence.
"He doesn't live with us." The voice on the receiver was cold. Sissi's mood seemed to have lost the satisfaction she felt when she left Grande in the morning and became irritable.
Why? It's lunch time now. Didn't Sissi tell Zach about Gangro's philosophy on human dining? Sissi's emotions can be understood and even sympathized with.
This answer was not surprising. Zach said with a smile, "Let him come to Grande. Well, give him half an hour."
There was silence in the receiver for a while, "Did you ignore Ai Li's advice?"
"Oh?" Zach curled his lips, "Do you know what I want from him?" This is nonsense. Eli's staying here before was obviously authorized by his saint master.
The person on the receiver was probably too lazy to answer the question, and his slight sigh was faithfully fed back into the vampire's ears by the phone line, "You asked for it."
The phone hung up. Zach looked at the receiver with only the hang-up tone and raised his eyebrows. What did he ask for? Wasn't it because Eli wanted to protect himself that he prevented Grande from accepting the commission
Ah. Can you blame Zach for having such thoughts
For a moment, Zach put aside this little inexplicability. It was a commission that he didn't really care about. Now that the incident was very clear, Zach naturally didn't want to spend too much energy thinking about it.
But Zach has more important things to worry about, politics.
Herman's commission was said to be for his benefit, so forget it. But close the factory and leave Barton. This benefit no longer has much practical significance. Zach can help him complete it smoothly. Herman, who is about to leave Barton, will not have anything else to involve Grande's life. This is good.
But it is this reality that makes Zach have to worry about his friend, Mayor Anthony.
I don’t know if it’s lucky or not. As soon as there was a chance for Blake to become a buffer between Grande and the mayor, such a major event was sent to Zach's hands.
Zach curled his lips and told Anthony directly that Barton was about to face a major event and it would definitely not work. Not to mention Anthony's rejection of Grande's involvement in his duties, Herman's confidentiality agreement alone, even though it was a joke, the name signed was the citizen identity created by Anthony's friend for Zach. Respect friendship and the minimum spirit of contract. Zach is not allowed to destroy these.
The gap still lies with Eli, who had already leaked the incident. Zach needs to send information to Blake as he did with the prison clues last time, and finally feed it back to Anthony. It can only be a reminder and a subtle hint. Regardless of Grande's role, Grande was not responsible for the news that was dug out of Eli. It was a surprise Herman needed to live with.
Zach picked up the phone again, Stone's (Blake's last name) home number. Zach has it. At Mrs. Quinn’s last dinner party, the two of them showed themselves as friends. But thinking about what Jackson said, Blake didn't seem to live at home, which made Zach frown again.
This was an oversight on Zach's part, he forgot to ask for Blake's contact information. It was impossible to look for Anthony to find Blake's whereabouts at this time. Because there is no reasonable reason.
Although he was helpless, Anthony knew Zach so well that he could easily discover what Zach was thinking! If the vampire doesn't tell Anthony the real intention of the big call and goes around asking for people, Anthony will know that Zach is playing with people's hearts! If Anthony pressed further. Facing his friends, Zach couldn't keep Herman's confidentiality agreement.
Zach, a vampire seeking death, has entangled himself in various identities and social attributes, and cannot escape. However, Zach’s work is more than that.
The vampire thought leisurely for a while, sorted out his words, and dialed the number of Bishop Manor. If he's lucky, Blake should be following Zach's 'advice' and paying close attention to Jackson's condition after being affected by the Charming Eyes... You know.
After explaining his identity and purpose to the servant, Zach began to wait. Luck favored the vampire, and Blake was there.
Although it was lunch time, Zach's behavior was not in line with the upbringing, but it didn't matter. Zach was looking for Blake, who was Bishop's guest, and was not bothering the owners of Bishop Manor.
"Zachary Grande." A calm middle-aged woman's voice came from the receiver.
Zach was a little surprised and subconsciously sat upright in his office, "Mrs. Bishop?"
"Yes." The emotionless female voice said, "I need to explain why Jackson stayed out all night."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This was the conversation on the phone, but his expression had been lost, and now he couldn't even tell the tone. Zach could only rationalize, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Bishop, if you blame me for telling Blake about Jackson's arrival in the North District, I apologize."
Zach smiled, "I didn't know those little guys' schedules needed to be kept secret."
The 'fact' that was left behind after Jackson stayed out all night was that Blake encouraged the two little guys to go to Noel Beach to play. Blake showed up at Ript because Zach revealed that Jackson attended the Ript High School prom. How would Zach know about the dance since Grande Alice and Matthew were pulled away in the morning.
There was a brief silence in the receiver, "Are you and Blake friends?" This statement was actually a question.
"Of course." Zach smiled, "In fact, I have been wanting to date him yesterday." Zach used a relaxed and casual tone, "It's a pity, Madam also knows, he is now from the mayor's office, but He was very busy and it was hard to make an appointment. Finally he had time at night, but he was more concerned about Jackson, who was visiting the North District for the first time... "
Unable to judge Mrs. Bishop's sense of Grande, our vampire can only divert attention with these things that the other party should be more concerned about - Blake's work, Jackson.
But Zach failed and his words were interrupted.
"I'm not interested in chatting with you." The cold voice fell directly into Zach's ears, "Being friends with your employer is a disgrace to your profession."
Zach frowned, this Mrs. Bishop was so rude in what she said!
"I'm looking for Boo..." At this moment, Zach could only resist this sudden 'reprimand' by reminding the other party that the purpose of his call was not to chat with her.
"Shut up." Mrs. Bishop's emotionless voice continued to interrupt the vampire, "I will ensure that Stone's elders educate their descendants well. If you still have a trace of shame, stop contacting the West End people."
The phone was hung up. (..)
