1420 In Modern Day 18 (2/2)
”Madam Daly, the ghost that is haunting me seems to have left.”
This is the truth, but I didn't explain why.
”Indeed…” After more than ten seconds, Madam Daly replies, ”Could it be that the restrictions I did last night scared her away? Or maybe you were too much of a pervert and scared her away. Didn't I ask you to watch 'A Chinese Ghost Story' and learn how to interact with female ghosts?”
I feel that it's more likely that 'A Chinese Ghost Story' will make the female ghost shy… I didn't dare reply as I cautiously say,
”I don't know.
”How about this? Don't come over today. I'll keep an eye out for a few more days. If the female ghost really doesn't appear again, then forget it. If there's any problem, I'll let you know again. How about that?”
After some hesitation, I add, ”I can reimburse you for your preparations. No, I mean pay a reasonable fee.”
”Let's do this for now. I thought I could catch a female ghost and play with it. ????” Madam Daly sends an emoji.
Hearing this, I relax. I feel like I've earned a huge sum of money.
After settling this matter, I happily play games.
At eleven o'clock, I decided to go downstairs to buy some delicious food to reward myself as I didn't spend any money for dinner and didn't have to pay for the exorcism.
”Eggplants, I have to have roasted eggplants…” I mutter as I rush out of the estate.
Before I can choose the barbecue stall, I see those punks again.
Among them, the hooligan nicknamed ”Dani” is seriously handing out flyers.
His dyed, charred-yellow hair, eyebrows, and his introduction of the description of tutoring class form a strong contrast.
This tutoring class is interesting… I glance around and see an acquaintance sitting at the barbecue stall on the right.
Miss Bernie Huang!
How is a rich young lady like her eating at a roadside barbecue stall? Does CEO Huang know? I casually size up Miss Huang's companion.
If it was a guy, hehe, that would be amazing gossip!
Uh, a girl wearing black-framed glasses. She's not too old, about the same age as Miss Huang… I feel full of regret and was about to retract my gaze.
At this moment, Miss Huang raises her head and looks over.
At this moment, our eyes meet.
She immediately stands up and walks towards me.
This is a little awkward… However, there's nothing to feel awkward about. I live nearby, so what's wrong with coming out to eat some barbecue? I stand my ground and wait for Miss Huang and her friend to come over.
Miss Huang stops in front of me and tersely acknowledges my presence.
”I have something I need your help with.”
The girl in black-framed glasses beside her asks curiously, ”Father, who is he?”
Pfft… What kind of address is that? The relationship between youngsters nowadays is so complicated… I'm actually at a loss as to how to respond. I can only force the corners of my mouth to curl up as I express my doubts with a smile.
”We had a bet in our dorm. Whoever lost had to address the winner as father,” Miss Bernie Huang explains.
She points at the girl beside her.
”Her family runs a tutoring class.
”I would like you to register for the Dream Tutoring Classes and sit in for their classes.
”I'll pay for it. I'll also pay you a fee for the work you do later.”
Register for the tutoring class… I can't help but turn my head to look at the hooligans who are seriously handing out flyers.
