009 Louise's visit

After the hug, Alice regained her normal state - anxiety. Like children after Halloween, candy only belongs to this day. The temporary sweetness does not mean that they can still wear the princess's dress tomorrow. The Banshee who owns a home is still a banshee.

"When you didn't come back, a young lady came." Alice held the document Ryan had given her in her hand and put her hand behind her with some timidity. "She said her name was Louise and she came to see Mr. Anderson."

Ryan nodded, "well, I see. Go and have a rest first."

Alice bowed her head, turned, and exited from the back door of the office. The documents in her hand had been forced to open in time. She wanted to make sure Ryan didn't cheat her.

Ryan took off his spare parts and hung them up before slowly opening the door of the office. Louise's face was a little pale. It seemed that she had not put on makeup again since last night, and her eyes were a little lax.

"Louise!" Ryan called. Louise, who was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, was surprised and looked at Ryan with her lax eyes recovered.

"You! It's you! Don't kill me!"

Louise didn't know why she came here. It seemed that when the sun appeared from the sea level, she woke up from the hotel, took the first bus to the South District, and came to the address printed on a business card. She just felt she was coming to answer a question, but now, seeing that face again, the memory of last night reappeared in her mind!

Ryan reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth. "Why do I always hear this today? Do I look like a murderer?"

Believe me, Ryan was not laughing at himself. He was seriously asking questions. After 300 or 400 years of life, Ryan has long-forgotten his real face!

Like Kim, the clever Louise began to wonder after she failed to escape last night. Yes, this man won't kill her. In retrospect, when she woke up today, she even wore pajamas.

Ryan saw the change in Louise's eyes and waved, "you can come in and talk. We're doing legitimate business, and our conversation needs to be secret."

Louise laid down her guard. As for this "single woman", besides being smart, bravery is also an important quality of her. At least last night, Ryan quoted a report read by vampires in the newspaper: "among the 12 missing women, the remains of the third body were found today (with a picture that would make everyone lose their appetite). Until the deadline, the Porto police still had no clue.". In such a time and place, Louise was still "showing off her money tree on the roadside" as Curson said. This represented courage, or she was really, really short of money.

Louise looked at the guest room, which was empty except for herself. She didn't comment on what Ryan called "legitimate business". She walked to the office in a vain way, which was a symptom of anemia.

Ryan, still like a gentleman, waiting for Louise to enter, closed the door behind her, then went to the chair opposite the desk, pulled the chair apart, and made an invitation to Louise.

Louise looked at Ryan with a complicated look. "Thank you!"

"I want to maintain your good impression of me!" Ryan waited for Louise to sit down and walked to the long table on one side, where there was a coffee pot and a large plate of prepared sandwiches. Alice was obviously ready while she was waiting in the office. Ryan took a plate, sandwiched a sandwich, and handed it to Louise with steaming coffee: "you look like you need a cup of coffee."

Louise remembered that she didn't wear makeup, subconsciously touched her cheek, and when she realized that Ryan was still carrying food, she bowed her head and took the plate and coffee. But if she can, she wanted to see if she had dark circles under her eyes. Only when she was depressed will she be reminded that she needs a cup of coffee! If so, she hoped to find a place where there was no one to make up immediately! Women's thinking is so strange.

Ryan sat behind his desk, looked at Louise's uneasy appearance, smiled, and said, "it seems I've said the wrong thing. You're fine now. You don't need makeup except for some pallor."

The first sentence was Ryan's "mind-reading" ability after reading countless people. The second sentence was just that he played with his heart and wanted to tease the woman.

Louise frowned, glanced at Ryan across the table, relaxed, and began to enjoy a free breakfast.

Ryan was very patient and took a thick document to read while Louise was having dinner. This was the data originally belonging to the Western tomb area of [Anderson funeral home], including personnel, funds, customer registration, etc. A week ago, Ryan received notice that the tomb area had been recovered. In the next few days, he was forced to travel between the West and the South to arrange necessary affairs.

The city government didn't do it too ruthlessly. It issued generous compensation funds. Ryan retained a small part, most of which was regarded as employee severance pay. You know, the vampire business is just a disguise. Those who complete the funeral affairs were the people in the west side, the real human employees.

Ryan also made efforts to hope that some people came to work in the tomb area in the South District, but these people refused, "the traditional funeral industry is dying! Sir, we have worked with you and your father for the Anderson family all our life. It's time to make a change..."

Of course, what they refer to as "Ryan's father" was the real Mr. Anderson. In the last few years of his life, the old man inexplicably had two sons and a daughter (a vampire, a werewolf, and a banshee), and he had not experienced the current trend of cremation impacting the traditional funeral industry. It was a complete success.

Ryan didn't force these people. He also knew that 90% of the Anderson house's industry was close to the tomb area in the West because it was closer to the prosperous north area and had a better environment. The Southern District is a remote suburb for people in Porto. No one wants to bury their close relatives here.

In addition, these people felt Ryan's rejection of cremation, and they all thought there was no future in Anderson's house.

"Have you had breakfast?" Louise asked, looking at Ryan who was reading the material.

Ryan looked up. "Don't you mind?"

"I don't mind." Louise regretted it when she said it because there were some things she didn't understand in her memory of last night. Now, she thought she was about to understand. She had a hunch that it was not a good thing.

Sure enough, Ryan got up and went to the wine cabinet on one side. Near the corner, Ryan pulled out a bottle of red wine, pulled out the cork, and poured a full glass for himself.

Louise shivered. It was early spring, but it was not cold indoors. In the warm environment, a trace of fishy sweetness was spreading around Ryan's glass.

Ryan took a sip and licked the tip of his bright red tongue on his lips. "Well, it's much worse than Midnight's snack."

Louise's whole body was stiff because, at this time, she was sure that "Midnight snack" was herself!

"Don't look at me like that." When Ryan returned to his desk, the glass of bright red liquid was in his hand. "It's a compliment to you."

"You, what the hell are you?" Louise felt her teeth colliding.

Wait, this is not fear, but... How to say? Imagine this scenario: you feel something on your neck. You pat it and find that it is a spider full of fluff. Then you realize that the slight itch on your neck is crawling. Understand? That's the feeling!

Louise almost used her whole body strength to restrain herself from touching the neck stuck by Ryan last night, but her shoulder betrayed her. The clavicle was highlighted by the force of her shoulder, and her neck was unconsciously slightly sideways. An indescribable sense of nausea spread all over her body from her neck.

"You should have heard the legend of vampires!" Ryan was admiring this woman. Like Kim, after confirming that the other party will not pose a life threat to himself, he immediately focuses on other places. For Kim, it may be to find the real murderer after being attacked. For Louise, it is a woman's instinctive physical resistance reaction.

Ryan's hands crossed his chest and made a gesture to introduce himself. "I'm a vampire!"

Louise took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and exhaled slowly. After initial nausea passed, Louise began to accept her wonderful feeling when she was' attacked 'by vampires.

"Well, you're at least a gentleman vampire." Louise opened her eyes.

Louise couldn't help it. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she took it back immediately.

"It's time to answer your question." Louise said, "why do I want to run away?"

Ryan gathered the information at his desk, pushed it aside, temporarily stopped Louise from talking, and looked at the door leading to the back of the office.

Benjamin opened the door and entered with Kim, who had changed his clothes.

Ryan stood up. "Louise, Benjamin, Kim. Benjamin, Kim, Louise."

When Benjamin and Kim sat down at the table where the food was put and began to eat the breakfast prepared by the Banshee Alice, Ryan sat down again: "all right, Louise, you can talk."

The vampire's eyes winked at Louise and said, "but there are some places you can omit."

The corners of Louise's mouth bent again, forcing her to bite her lower lip. She looked at Ryan helplessly and adjusted her mood.
