Early on Saturday morning, Laura came to pick up Alice on time, and she was lucky enough to meet Louise. It's rare that Louise isn't hiding in the basement. Because Susan called me. Do you still remember this woman who runs a high-end 'escort' business? It doesn't matter if you don't remember, as long as you know that she is Ethela's person and used Louise's friendship to try to find out about Grande, putting Louise in a difficult place.
Zach wanted to help Louise block this call, but Louise remained the same as before, "It doesn't matter, I'll listen to what she has to say, I can handle it."
In order to show that he believed Louise could handle it, Zach was too embarrassed to even sit in on the phone. Then sit on the back porch and listen.
"You didn't 'eat' dinner yesterday, and you skipped breakfast today." James was already in the car. He could park sideways on the back porch, looked sideways at Zach, and said this in a statement. talk.
Zach didn't know why. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear anything from James. He spread his hands and asked, "Are you concerned about my appetite?"
James' eyes twitched, "Who cares about you! I want to know if you secretly went out to eat at night... to eat!" What do vampires eat? They eat blood... James was suspecting that Zach went out to hunt in the middle of the night...
"Oh." Was Zach disappointed? Of course not, he was used to James' questioning, "No, I'm on a diet."
James stared at Zach as if he could detect if Zach was lying with his observation skills, "Why diet?!"
Zach faced James with a calm face, "I'm practicing a technique to control blood flow, a vampire thing. It's too difficult to control the blood in the full state of the body. Let yourself be hungry, and the blood will be less. , easier to practice." Grande said early in the morning. The topic is so serious, James asked for it, "The ideal state is to only leave blood flow for one heart beat, but I don't think I can achieve this ideal state. Oh, by the way, if you find out that I will be irritable , irritable. This is almost my limit, stay away from me then... "
James' car has already driven away.
Zach smiled and shook his head and watched him leave. Zach is no longer afraid of dangerous topics. Knowing James too well, he would never be able to calmly ask where this skill came from.
Louise's impatient voice came from the phone over there, "... You don't need to notify me. You just have to carry out the order Aisela gave you."
The voice in the receiver said, "Louise, don't be like this. This is business. Our industry knows how to distinguish public from private, right? I don't want business to affect our... "
"Forget it." Louise interrupted, "This is an industry that is best at mixing public and private. Susan, this is the difference between you and me. I disdain to use this method to whitewash myself, so I have been on the street Talking about 'business' is simple and direct. One thing is exchanged for another. You are not, you are running into other people's social gatherings to do 'business'. Find another use for the exchanged things, and then think that you can whitewash yourself a little. A career? Don't be naive. Regarding you and my previous life, no matter what you think you are, in a simple word, *woman. Don't think too highly of yourself."
Zach pouted on the back porch, unable to comment.
The other side of the receiver was silent for a while before speaking, "Then I have to tell you, Louise, don't underestimate yourself. You use your body in exchange for things. At least in addition to money, I also exchanged information, In exchange for the handles of those men. Yes, I am still just a woman. It is useless for me to hold this information and handles, so I sell them to people who can use them, such as Aisela. But so what? I Did I do anything wrong? I sold my body, I at least made it worth the price! What about you? Huh, Louise, if it weren't for your precious Mr. Grande, you'd still be wasting on the street That pretty face of yours!”
Zach stood up, pulled his lips together, and sat down again. Trust Louise.
"Whether my face is wasted or not, you don't need to judge." Louise didn't give in, "At least I still have a precious Mr. Grande. What do you have, Eisela? Wait until your body can't be replaced When she gets what she wants, what can you do, stare at a face with heavy makeup and go back to the street!"
"We really can't have a calm, good conversation now, can we?"
"Yes."
"Okay, Louise, let's do it. I've already informed you with my old friendship in mind, so I won't feel guilty anymore. You, huh, your precious Grande, just take care of it."
The phone was hung up.
Zach pursed his lips, walked behind the counter of the showroom, patted Louise, "How do you feel?"
Louise glanced at Zach and smiled reluctantly, "Not so good. All the senses are amplified. I'm always distracted by the electromagnetic noise in the receiver." What Louise is best at is steering the topic. Strange placement.
Zach smiled and shook his head, "Just get used to it."
Louise nodded, looking hesitant, "You heard what she said, right?"
Zach nodded, not knowing what expression to put on, "Cologne slept with her and was photographed for evidence." Summarizing the content of the first half of the phone call in a declarative tone, "Aisela wanted to use this to blackmail Cologne into supporting her. ."
Louise looked at Zach, waiting for the next step. Before waiting, he curled his lips and pushed Zach, "Then, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Not at all." Zach smiled helplessly, "What can I do? Tell Anthony? Tell him that the police chief who failed to protect him gave up on himself and found a escort in the first week after he was transferred to the South District. -Miss?" Zach shook his head.
"Who told you to tell Anthony!" Louise wrinkled her pretty face, "I was wondering if there was a way to prevent Cologne from being threatened!"
"I think..." Zach pursed his lips. This topic was really inexplicable. This is Grande. She just had a friendly discussion with James about the daily topics of vampires and blood. Now she is discussing social news events that will only appear in the social media. "This should be what Cologne should be thinking about, right?" .”
Louise also pursed her lips, and the two of them were silent for a while, shaking their heads together, just pretend this call never came.
Someone stepped into the main entrance of Grande. Louise and Zach looked at the person who came in -
A heavily made-up woman with wide eyes. She spoke, "Louise? Louise!"
"Daisy?" Louise actually replied, "Daisy! You..." She quickly glanced at Zach, and at the same time, she got out of Zach's arms, walked around the counter, and walked towards the woman named Daisy. "Are you still alive? Why are you here?"
"Uh..." The two women hugged. Daisy pressed Louise's shoulder, chewing gum in her mouth, and looked at Zach, looking at her from top to bottom. Zach also He cooperated and walked around the counter so that she could take a closer look. "I can also tell you this, why are you here? And you suddenly disappeared at the beginning of the year. I thought you were dead too!"
"Uh..." Louise's face became embarrassed and she looked at Zach, "My friend is not like Susan, well, like I used to be. Well..." Louise was probably trying to explain her previous professional status. He spoke more diplomatically, but was interrupted.
"Susan? Why are you still in contact with that bitch!" He rolled his eyes and swore. Zach pursed his lips and temporarily gave up on introducing himself as a master. Why? Because the other party doesn't look like someone is dead in the family. Do you remember the Grande Funeral Home
Louise opened her mouth and shook her head, "Zach, Daisy. Daisy, Zachary Grande."
Daisy's eyes returned to Zach, still looking up and down, and finally chuckled and raised her eyebrows. "Not bad. Louise, why did he disappear? This guy seems to be a decent person. Not bad, hold on tight~"
"Uh, Daisy." Louise's mood was probably a little confused now, "You came here, um, what happened?"
"Oh, by the way!" Daisy lowered her head and started to rummage through her bag, "I almost forgot about business, xx died, I'll hold a funeral." The woman glanced at Zach, "xx, my bastard boyfriend."
Zach couldn't understand why the woman said this with a smile, let alone why she winked at Louise immediately afterwards.
Then she took out a business card from her bag, Grande's business card, "Well -" she trailed off and began to look at Grande's showroom, "I'm looking for that one, Benjamin, he said he can get a discount."
Zach touched his chin, thought for a while, then turned and left. Go find Benjamin.
Because Zach didn't remember giving a Grande business card to such a woman, and he never knew that there was a discount at the Grande Funeral Home under his management.
The answer is obvious, it's Benjamin, wrong, it's 'Benjamin' - the wolf body that controls Benjamin's human body did the good deeds! Don't tell me you forgot about 'Benjamin' hanging out at Becky's nightlife!
On the second floor of Benjamin's warehouse, he found Benjamin who was pretending to be asleep. "Get up." Zach pulled Benjamin's blanket and pretended to be asleep? Well, Zach didn't bother to comment, "Someone's looking for you."
"No one is looking for me." Benjamin pulled back the blanket and answered with his eyes closed.
Zach frowned, "You heard me." He almost forgot that Alpha's senses were still exploding from yesterday morning's aconite soup.
"I didn't hear you." Benjamin pulled the blanket to cover himself completely, "No one is looking for me. Now, don't disturb my sleep."
"Discount. Funeral discount." Zach said in an emphatic tone.
"Do not talk to me."
Zach ignored him, "You... How many women like this have you said funeral discounts to?"
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Zach pouted, bent down and completely ripped off Benjamin's blanket. Our Alpha tried really hard to pretend that he was only wearing underpants, "Don't be so childish, this is the business you brought in, go ahead."
"You are the master of Grande, go ahead." Benjamin moved to the bed and pretended to be dead.
"I am the master, and I order you to go." Why is Zach so persistent and doesn't want to touch this matter? Well, probably because Daisy just smiled and said she was here to hold a funeral for her boyfriend, and winked at Louise meaningfully...
"Order the others to go." Why did Benjamin refuse so persistently? Well, probably when the wolf used Benjamin's body and promised Daisy a discount on the funeral, he also did many things that made Benjamin ashamed to remember...
"Don't be so childish..."
Before he finished speaking, Zach's body disappeared beside Benjamin's bed, turned into a gray shadow and went directly down to the second floor, appearing at the door of the warehouse.
Zach frowned, and the vampire's heartbeat actually accelerated at this moment. He looked at Grande's back porch, where Daisy with heavy makeup was pulling Louise, "Oh, why are you so tight?! Come with me to find Benjamin." …”
The morning sun shone on Louise's face.
"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Daisy turned back and stared at Louise who stepped off the back porch, "What are you doing with a menstrual face..." Daisy raised an eyebrow, "I didn't notice it just now, how come your skin feels better? It's a lot, and it's even whiter!" Daisy held Louise's face and rubbed it back and forth, "It's not bad. What kind of high-end products are you using? Share some..."
Louise was not looking at Daisy, who was rubbing her face and looking curious. She was looking at Zack by the warehouse door, with eyes bathed in sunlight.
Zach's heartbeat began to calm down, and the corners of his mouth began to curve upward, 'You can do it. 'It's just a mouth shape.
Louise's face was held and she took a step forward.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Daisy was inexplicably pushed back by Louise who was walking forward. She found that Louise's eyes were no longer on her. She turned her head and saw Zach looking at him with a kind smile at the door of the warehouse. .
Daisy was stunned for a moment, kind, kind smile? She shook her head and turned back to Louise, "Uh..." She found that Louise began to reply with a smile corresponding to kindness - joy.
Daisy shuddered, let go of Louise's face and jumped away, "What's going on!" Her eyes turned back and forth on the two guys looking at each other, "Uh, what are you two doing!"
Louise started to trot, and what was supposed to be the next scene was a throwback scene, which brought an end to the depression that had lasted for too long in Louise and Zach's hearts.
but.
Zach’s arm, which he had just raised and was ready to welcome, was pressed down by Benjamin—
"That's good, well, I can leave it to Louise."
If this didn't ruin this sweet scene too thoroughly, it was even more thorough.
The first person to rush to the warehouse was not the vampire Louise Toledo, but Daisy. It's amazing, I think so too.
Daisy hung on Benjamin, "Oh! I was a little nervous when I first saw Louise! I thought someone would snatch my 'little' Mr. Grand from me~" Don't look at Daisy Where are your hands reaching? "Fortunately, she won another Grande~ I don't know if it can compare with this one..."
Zach ignored Daisy's wink and went directly to Louise who came over just upstairs, "Leave it to Danny." That was the decision. (.)
