After experiencing a series of things that just happened, Ronald felt that his mental state was very good.
He didn't plan to wait until tomorrow anymore.
Heading directly in the direction of Nicole's home, he simply walked over.
Darkness is Ronald's best cover. Ordinary night patrols have no chance of spotting him moving in the dark.
Just a quarter of an hour later, Nicole's home arrived.
Looking at the unchanged cabin in front of him, Ronald was stunned.
"..."
"Aren't you...not here?"
Not far in front of me, Nicole's cabin was dark.
Ronald knew Nicole's routine, and there was absolutely no way the investigator girl was sleeping in the bed at this point.
If nothing unexpected happens.
Tonight, Nicole should be conducting patrol work for the Bureau of Investigation.
The cold reality poured cold water on his head. No matter what he did, Ronald could not make the investigator girl appear in front of him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take out a pen and paper from his coat pocket.
After writing the note and stuffing it into the mailbox, Ronald shrugged, then turned and left the street.
After all, no matter how good his mood is.
Not being bold enough to wait until late at night, he went to the city of Burrenwich to look for the investigators who were on a mission.
Judging from the investigators' work style.
Nicole probably won't have any objections, but what her partner will think is not optimistic.
The journey back to the door of Shangshu's apartment was uneventful.
Ronald skillfully took out the key, gently opened the door and entered.
Mrs. Hudson, who has a good routine, has taken a rest, and he also had dinner provided by a businessman in the countryside.
Let’s stop here today…
With this thought in mind, Ronald walked to the second floor in the dark, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
————
Early the next morning.
After getting up, Ronald went to the door of the apartment as usual and took out today's newspaper leisurely.
The landlady is not at home at this time.
Judging from the food and drinks in the apartment these days, Ronald thought she might have gone shopping for fruit.
He was analyzing trivial matters aimlessly in his mind.
Ronald took his food from the fireplace on the first floor and slowly walked to the second floor.
The breakfast prepared by Ms. Hudson today is still delicious.
A piece of warm bread, a cup of tea with brown sugar, and a few slices of fried bacon.
Sitting at the desk, Ronald ate breakfast and read the newspaper.
There's only so much news going back and forth in the Coastline Daily.
Although there are some things that can provide some help to Ronald, the actual effect cannot be reflected yet.
At best, it serves the purpose of supplementary information.
After selecting a few important pages and reading them, Ronald quickly finished reading the parts he needed, then closed the newspaper and put it aside, planning to change to another publication to read.
However, just as he was skillfully flipping through the Coastline Daily.
A light yellow envelope fell out from between the loose pages of the newspaper.
snap——
The stationery with the ginkgo leaf pattern fell on the desk.
There are almost no differences except that it is smaller than last time and the name of [Ginkgo Business Alliance] is not written directly on it.
Raising his eyebrows, Ronald put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the envelope and opened it.
It was a letter sent in a personal name from Everton, and the content was simple and clear.
It probably means:
——Dear Mr. Ronald.
The exhibition located on the outskirts of Burrenwich has to temporarily suspend its holdings due to the current situation.
So, your work is temporarily suspended.
Considering your hard work in this short period of time, the chamber of commerce will pay you a certain amount of remuneration in proportion to the length of work. It is expected that within a week, the remuneration will be paid to you according to the agreed method.
If possible, I hope to continue to cooperate with you in the future.
That’s less than a page of text.
Looking at the information conveyed by the letter in his hand, Ronald's expression was a little complicated for a moment.
After a long time, he asked and answered himself in a stiff tone:
"..."
"So, dear Mr. Ronald has lost his job again?"
"Oh, that's right!"
"Yes, that's it!"
"In less than two months, Mr. Ronald has been fired from three jobs..."
"Although, even though I got paid..."
After complaining about himself, Ronald raised his hands to cover his face.
Still couldn't help but sigh.
"well--"
Although Everton's letter does not mean that he will be dismissed, but that he will suspend the work of the [Literary Hall www.wxguan.info] exhibition.
But after this series of events, he still felt a little strange.
It's as uncomfortable as trying to play a mobile game three times in a row, only to be interrupted by a sudden phone call after a while.
Fortunately, Ronald still has a lot of savings on hand.
The money earned in these two months can help him live for at least a year and a half.
He shook his head helplessly, and then threw the letter in his hand into the trash can next to the table.
“Who cares about a job?”
"Anyway, Mr. Ronald will never care about unemployment..."
Bang bang bang——
Just as Ronald was complaining to himself, there was a knock on the door on the second floor.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Hudson's familiar voice sounded outside the door:
"Mr. Ronald, are you at home?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"I am here."
While answering the other party, Ronald immediately stood up and walked to the door.
As he took the initiative to open the door, the scene in front of him shocked him.
Just at the door on the second floor.
Ms. Hudson was looking at herself with a very subtle, even regretful expression.
Looking at Ronald in the room, the lady looked him up and down.
Then he said in a strange tone:
"Mr. Ronald, your friend is looking for you below."
"She is a cute little girl."
"..."
In an instant, Ronald understood the current situation.
It must have been Nicole who found her home and was greeted by Ms. Hudson.
This timing is quite delicate.
Not long after Patricia left Burrenwich, she also expressed her intention to go to the Springs.
Then, when Mrs. Hudson knew that she was not a native of Burrenwich, and her social circle was not too wide, Patricia had only been away for a few days when another little girl came looking for her.
Obviously in this easily misunderstood reality...
The landlady is mistaken.
Realizing this, Ronald immediately explained:
"Mrs. Hudson, please don't get me wrong."
"Nicole is a friend of mine from work before, and she came to me today to talk about business!"
"..."
He looked at Ronald with some suspicion.
After a while, Mrs. Hudson nodded:
"Since we are friends, then you should go down quickly."
"Don't keep people waiting."
Ronald immediately replied:
"Okay, I'll go down right now."
Following the stairs and almost rushing down to the second floor, Ronald soon fell into confusion again.
Because just on the chair in the lobby on the first floor, Nicole's state was completely different from what he imagined!
