Deciding not to procrastinate anymore, Zach filled his can of essential snacks for going out and left the restaurant.
In the corridor of the stairwell, I met Louise who had just come in from the back corridor and was holding a document. Louise saw that Zach seemed to have gotten rid of the nameless turbid state. She chuckled and did not mention anything about the magazine or Dylan. She shook the document in her hand and said, "Madison is here. Send the work report. You want to read it." ?"
In Matthew's absence, the mill was already busy (Herman's compensation for the deceased), and the work of official documents actually fell to Madison, the director of the mill.
Zach walked directly in front of Louise and opened the side door without even looking at the report in Louise's hand, "I don't have time to read it."
A calm male voice floated from the back porch, "But do you have time to go out?"
Zach turned his head. Madison was wearing a low peaked cap. Her eyes stopped for a moment on the snack can in Zach's hand, twitched the corner of her mouth, and turned away. ridicule.
Zach frowned, he was really heartbroken about Madison now, there was nothing he could do, Zach was really a bad boss and couldn't defend himself.
Zach frowned and walked past Madison, shook his head, and tried to maintain the attitude of a boss, "Um, Madison, how's the mill doing lately?"
"It's very bad, it's going to fall." Madison waved his hand casually and replied calmly.
Zach was stunned for a moment, how could it be possible? Didn’t Herman’s two million arrive?…
"Oh." Madison glanced at Zach, who looked surprised, "I'm lying to you, didn't you notice? Oh, I'm sorry." Madison twitched the corner of her mouth, "I forgot that you never read the work reports I wrote. , you don’t know anything at all.”
Taunt last hit. Madison has already mastered this skill.
Zach's face looked ugly. It was a pity that he couldn't refute. But I can't bear it.
Our vampire is close to Madison. It was uncomfortable, especially knowing that Zach was a vampire. Zach looked up and down Madison's indifferent face, "Madison, is this a new hat?"
"Well, do you like it?" Madison replied calmly.
Zach tilted his head and looked at the gray on Madison's temples. "Have you been very tired lately? Your hair has turned gray again."
"Yeah, do you want to hear what I have to say?" Madison shrugged, not avoiding Zach's uncomfortable closeness, "I may have lied to you again, you'd better read the report."
This conversation can be translated like this: "I am a vampire who can move freely in the sun, and you are just a weak human whose only ability needs a hat to cover it." "So what, bite me."
"Just say it. Your hair has turned white again. What did you do?" "I won't tell you."
Zach pursed his lips, stepped away, gave Madison one last look, and walked away. He was the one who took in Madison in the first place, what can he do now.
Zach couldn't get far. When he was about to get into the car, he was stopped by old Hank holding a carpenter's plane. "What are you doing!" He stood in front of Zach. Old Hank still used 100% of the volume.
"Get out." Zach replied simply, out of the corner of his eye. Madison had already gotten into his car. While looking at Zach sideways, he slowly started the car and slowly drove out of Grande's backyard.
"Go drag these out and sell them!" Old Hank didn't ask in detail. Who knew Zach would say something he didn't want to hear. He turned around and pointed at the old furniture placed in the yard.
In it, Zach saw the small 'desk' that Louise had previously used in the reception room. Old Hank really got these things sorted out. Hardworking old man.
"Where to sell it?" Zach frowned. It was really hard for Zach to refuse Old Hank's request. But Zach really didn't want to go to Old Mel's place. Seeing the grandfather and grandson could only remind him why he was so self-destructive and unaccompanied in Grande.
"I know where it is!" Austin, who had never seen him do anything before, rushed out. His hands kept digging for something in his pocket, "What a coincidence! I have a friend who is in the second-hand business!" He took out a business card and put it into Zach's hand.
Zach twitched his lips and glanced at the business card. The address was the declining department store, 'Pixar Department Store...'.
"Hey! Let me tell you, if you tell me your name, I promise that my friend will give you the best price..."
Zach glanced at Austin, "Don't tell me, you bought our decoration materials and decorations from here."
Do you still remember the last time Zach went to Pixar Department Store? This is a reasonable question.
"Ah!" Austin's face turned red, "How is that possible! Look, we haven't even started the official renovation yet! Don't worry, I guarantee that the things we choose are the best and latest..."
Zach waved his hand, "Have your people help me move it."
"Okay, okay!" Austin, who was interrupted by Zach several times, didn't care at all. He smiled and ran into the construction site that he couldn't enter a few times a day. In a moment, several strong workers were anxious and started loading the truck. thing.
"Hey, by the way, Mr. Grande, do you need me to send someone to go with you? There is a lot of chaos in Pixar, and there is someone trustworthy following you..."
"No need." Zach can now realize that Austin is a talkative person. Under normal circumstances, Zach is happy to use such people to pass the time, but this is not the case now.
"Hehehe..." Austin smiled and backed away automatically, still quite consciously.
The back of the truck was full and not fully loaded, but there were not many things that were saved by Old Hank. For example, Old Hank was able to rebuild the skeleton of the sofa in the living room, but he was not able to fill in the sofa cushions. lint in. Most of the items were furniture cleared from the empty rooms on the second floor due to renovations, such as wardrobes, tables and other space-consuming items.
Zach, who was finally able to travel, finally asked Old Hank how much he expected to sell a car of old stuff. Do you remember that Wes once had a cart full of stuff, and in the end we only got a friendly price
As a result, Old Hank casually waved his hand and said, "I don't care how much you sell it for! Do you want to give me the money? I don't want to ask the question!"
Zach twisted his face, our vampire didn't understand, so what was the point of wasting his time to find the author to sell these things? Is it just that old Hank has done the work himself and wants to drag others with him out of boredom
In fact, it is meaningful. Everyone should have guessed that the author of that article did not need to be found by Zach. He just walked around in front of Zach and performed a taunting combo. Madison, well, that's 'me'. He will always be a useless character in this story, so why waste time writing about him.
As for Madison’s source of information and being able to leave a name in a magazine, don’t forget Crowley’s subordinates at the mill, the somewhat neurotic demon Leon, plus Madison’s writing training, and then there is the one who only needs to Riley, who pretends to be aggrieved and sobs a few times, can prove that the world is still beautiful.
Not to mention useless, the meaning of coming back is that Zach drove a car full of second-hand things and temporarily headed to Pixar. Many things are often just boring and coincidental. (..)
