"Did you tell me everything?" We understand Zach's little thoughts. Before the other party doesn't say anything clearly, he will just circle in place.
Amelia watched Zach sit down, and just looked at him without responding. She was quiet for a while and then - "Humph, why don't you pour yourself some wine?"
"Drinking at noon is not a good habit." Zach replied, placing his hands flat on the table, otherwise he would be habitual of pouring 'wine'. "You don't seem to have a good rest, are you very busy at work?"
Amelia twitched the corner of her mouth and turned her head away, as if she was fed up with Zach's pretentiousness, "Do you mean my job or the asylum?"
Zach pursed his lips. Amelia was smart and started to circle around. Then, "Of course it's my duty." Zach smiled slightly, "I thought the shelter was your amateur charity project. Since it is an amateur, it shouldn't be It takes up too much of your own time, right?"
Amelia's mouth moved, probably swallowing back some words, and she actually smiled, "You are right, I shouldn't. I can't put the cart before the horse. The shelter is just a side project. I shouldn't let it go." It takes up too much of my time. Haha, there’s no need for it anymore, the director is back, Harrison is back.”
"Yeah." Zach nodded, "It'll be good to be back, right." He looked at Amelia again and said, "It'd be good to be back, don't you think so."
"Yes." Amelia kept smiling, but the corners of her eyes were twitching and she stopped talking.
Zach pursed his lips, not knowing how to continue. Can you understand the weird atmosphere between the two at this time? In Amelia's eyes, Zach is a hypocritical liar - he knew what was going on with Harrison from beginning to end, but kept hiding it. In Zach's eyes, Amelia is... nothing. This means that Zach does not owe Amelia any responsibility or obligation to explain his actions.
There was silence for a moment. Amelia suddenly shook her head and stopped smiling. "Forget it, I don't want to pursue anything anymore."
Zach also shook his head, "Pursuit?"
Amelia seemed too lazy to respond and glanced at Zach, "I just assumed that Harrison left Barton to avoid the limelight..."
Emilia's words. The reason for the disappearance made up by Harrison was that a large number of hunters appeared in Barton, which had a serious impact on his eating needs, and he had to leave Barton to stock up on food. (Harrison's death occurred when hunters came to Barton to look for 'Colt'. Harrison, who was hungry, came to Grande for help. He met Thomas's family members on the way and thought that a new vampire had appeared in Barton. Ke’s alien agreement, fight, and die together.)
"... From now on. I will not mention anything that happened during this period. He is back, this is the only thing I care about."
Zach had no expression, but he felt in his heart that this woman was really speechless. If she had this realization, why bother to say that she already knew everything? Wouldn't this cause trouble for herself? But Zach’s slander can be discarded immediately, and there is a reason for Amelia’s behavior. continue.
"In the morning, I handed over all the recent work of the shelter to him. From now on, this project with Quinn will be his."
Zach interjected, "Harrison didn't lose his job?"
Amelia looked indifferent. "Do you think being the director of a homeless shelter is some kind of in-demand job? If it becomes available, it will become available and no one will want to take it."
This may have been true in the past, but it shouldn't be true now. The shelter belongs to the Quinn Group and is very popular. Amelia answered this question immediately.
"Mrs. Quinn will not let anyone participate in this project casually." It's about the legalization of something she promotes. Naturally, "Now that Harrison is back, because of my relationship, Mrs. Quinn trusts me, so it doesn't matter if this position is returned to him."
Zach raised an eyebrow. I'm happy for Harrison.
"So from now on, I have nothing to do with any work in the shelter." Emilia stopped here.
The stopping point was a bit strange. Zach looked at Amelia for a while before frowning and said, "You don't need to tell me this specifically."
"Hmph." Amelia was taunting, definitely, "No, I still want it, so that you don't have to ask me about the progress of Mrs. Quinn in the future. I'll tell you now, I don't You know, ask Harrison.”
Zach curled his lips, "Emilia, what do you mean? I don't think I've ever asked you about anything about your shelter project."
"No, they just used me to get Xuepide to the shelter." Emilia actually mentioned Xuepide.
Zach pursed his lips and began to think from Amelia's perspective, "And now that he is resigning, do you think Harrison has gone back, and I don't need him to stay in the shelter anymore." Yes, but see clearly, This is Amelia's thinking angle, and Zach really didn't think of it before.
"I 'think'." Amelia sneered, "Isn't it the truth?" Her face was full of contempt for hypocrisy, "Harrison has already told me that Shade is based on your fundamentals. I wonder if I can introduce him to him when I resurrect him..." Amelia closed her mouth and shook her head, "I told you not to mention it, so I won't mention it anymore."
It was probably Emilia's intention to say 'resurrection', and we can confirm that Harrison really told her everything. But now is not the time to focus on why Harrison is so loose-spoken.
Zach glanced at Amelia, "So you think that now that Harrison is back, even if he loses his job, he can still get news about the project from you."
Amelia's disdainful face turned into a mocking one, probably because she thought it was ridiculous that Zach was still emphasizing 'think', "Exactly, so I'll just make it easier for you." She pushed her hand, "I don't know anything about it. Hand it over, no need for you to bother. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly, it has nothing to do with me."
Zach’s fingers began to move on the table. It was because he was not used to not having a wine glass in his hand, or because the hypocrisy in Amelia’s eyes was revealed, “You seem to be very sure that Harrison will obey me now, and he will tell me whatever I ask. "
"It's a recognition." Emilia looked like she didn't want to say more, "The reason, huh, I said I won't mention it again, I don't want to explain it."
This attitude... forget it.
Zach turned his eyes away and began to think. Pretty quick, I thought of it. Remember the conversation Harrison had with Zach about 'outsiders'. Although it may seem a bit sad - Harrison died as an outsider, and when he was resurrected, he made the decision not to be an outsider anymore.
Zach was a little helpless and looked at Amelia, "It's just like your job. If I ask you about the shelter project, you will refuse as if you refused to tell me your patient's information. This is how you treat Work attitude. And now you feel that your attitude will affect Harrison's future with me, well..." Zach frowned, unable to think of the right words for a moment. He waved his hand and skipped it, "So for Harrison, you might as well give it all to him so that he can..." He ignored it and said, "Get a place here with me."
Emilia's eyes were probably on the pen holder on the table, and she didn't react at all to Zach's words. It seems that he has really made up his mind not to mention it.
Zach sighed unconsciously, this was a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. Zach opened his mouth again. Clarification... Shut it back, is the explanation clear? Let's forget it.
There was a smile on Zach's face, and it was quite sincere, "I used to feel a little..." He skipped it without thinking of the right words for a moment, "Now I find that you really love each other." Zach spread his hands, "One I spent a week thinking of something to say so as not to worry the other party. But when we met, I still couldn’t lie. A person who was willing to give up the project he had been busy with for so long just to deal with it... "
"No need for you to judge us here!" Emilia glared at Zach.
Zach raised his hand, "I'm sorry. I won't say it anymore." A gentleman must dare to admit his mistakes, "Then, is this why you came? Is there anything else?"
There was something else, but it was obviously not taken seriously by Emilia. She stood up and prepared to leave. While saying, "Tell James that his psychotherapy is over." With a slight irony, "I don't have any side projects now, so I'm not busy anymore. I don't need his excuse to give myself a vacation."
Zach also stood up. The gentleman was going to open the door for the lady. "Okay, I will notify him." Looking at the direction Amelia was walking, it turned out to be the door on the east side, which is the way out of Grande. Not back to the restaurant. Is she going to leave and say goodbye rudely
Amelia didn't seem to want to say a word at all, and walked out without thanking anyone for opening the door.
"Amelia." Zach spoke again, with a strange tone, "You seem to have pushed away the relationship with Grande. I have a feeling that it will be difficult for us to see each other again in the future, right?"
Isn't it? Brian's matter has ended a long time ago. The shelter project with Mrs. Quinn, relying on Zach's help, was completely handed over to Harrison, and the patient relationship with James was terminated. Emilia, who had always appeared in Grande's life through indirect relationships, now actively pushed away these relationships.
Amelia glanced at Zach and said, "I hope so." She left without saying goodbye.
Zach pursed his lips and nodded. It was understandable. Amelia had stated more than once that she didn't want to interact with aliens. Harrison was feeling helpless in his relationship. Zach was nothing. When you can avoid it, of course you seize the opportunity and stay far away.
Zach, who already understood Amelia's attitude, didn't send her off any more. He watched Amelia leave the main entrance of Grande and turned around. He was going to go downstairs to the back porch to continue chatting with Xue Pide about future plans. But he bumped into Xue Pide going upstairs.
I also wanted to say goodbye. "Now that I have decided, I have to find a place to live in advance." He smiled a little awkwardly, "I have been living in a place arranged by the shelter before. If I don't have a place to live after resigning, I'm afraid I will just I can sleep in the cargo box." It's the car that Zach gave me. Remember, it's Grande's old truck. "Things should be very busy these days. I'm going back to the North District first."
Zach was naturally encouraging, "Of course, you go ahead. If you can't find it, you know you can always come to Grande..." Zach smiled awkwardly when he realized that there was no room available in Grande, only haystacks.
"No, I have received too much care from you. I will find a place."
Zach nodded and wanted to deliver it in person, but the phone rang.
"You go ahead, I'm leaving." Xue Pide smiled and waved his hand, turned around quickly and consciously, without giving Zach a chance to be polite, and disappeared at the top of the stairs in a few strides.
Zach still stopped for a moment, listening to Xue Pide saying goodbye to everyone in the restaurant one by one before officially leaving. He couldn't help but think of Amelia again. Zach shook his head, here is Barton, as a ghoul's girlfriend, a chance to meet a vampire again... Forget it, let's not say more, the phone has stopped ringing once and rang again. He was so persistent even when he called Grande.
Zach answered the phone, and Sibella's voice was filled with anger, "You're not going to tell us anything?! Are you naive? Max and Katie went to Grande early in the morning! You didn't tell us anything?!" You mean that? Are you sick?"
Zach blinked, a little confused, "What's the notice?"
"Boisen's body!"
"Uh..." Zach almost went to get the wine out of habit, but fortunately he reacted quickly and stopped, "Do I need to inform you?" Zach was a little confused, "Uh, wait a minute, how did you know?"
"James told me so!"
Simply unsurprising.
"Okay, then why do you want to know this?" Zach really didn't feel the need to tell Sibella about this.
Almost two weeks ago, when the news of Boyson's suicide emerged, Zach specifically consulted Sibella: Is there anything that should be watched out for when a wizard commits suicide. But at that time, Sibella responded to Zach with a mocking attitude -
'Do you think you have the same faith as your Holy Lord, and you don't have to care about anyone who dies? (The Holy Lord believes that suicide is a sin and one will go to hell) Huh, ignorant. '
Zach naturally concluded that this was what Sibella was saying, no matter what, or don't care.
Sibella on the other side of the receiver became even more angry, "What are you doing? He is a wizard transformed by Papa Midnight! I want to know anything he does!!"
Zach curled his lips and became even more confused. Did he judge wrongly? "So, now that you know it, what happens next?"
"And then!... Then?" The receiver was inexplicably silent for a while, "I don't know."
Zach frowned and waited for a while but didn't hear any more words from the other side. He shook his head helplessly, "Sibella, are you calling me for something? Please be specific."
"Tsk." Sibella was at least not that excited anymore, "The reason James told me was that he sent people to Boyson's original workshop to check things again, and I was forced to ask..."
Zach was not very interested in passing by. Sibella didn't have to explain for James. Zach would ask himself, "No need to be so specific."
Sibella ignored it, "James told me that he is still trying to confirm whether the body is Boyson, so he needs his 'old things' to compare." It's probably hair or something. "He doesn't want to alarm the West District first. Over there at the police station…”
Zach raised his eyebrows. Of course, the West District Police Department that arrested Boyson was also the one that handled Boyson's suicide. If James, the North District police detective, directly took Zach's judgment and said, "Hey, the bodies of criminals who committed suicide here and were handled by you have floated to the North District" and asked for cooperation, he would definitely be kicked out.
"You have to confirm it yourself first." Sibella paused, "I don't have time to wait for James to confirm slowly. I just ask you now, how sure are you that the body is Boyson!"
Zach pursed his lips and said, "Very."
Immediately afterwards, Zach was about to ask what the call was for...
"Come to Pai Siying to see me!" He hung up. (.)
