Wednesday, three days later.
As the house was cleaned and repainted, the members of the Department of Mysteries were finally shut down (escape) first. At first the others seemed hesitant and wanted to go to help, but after James said that there was not much work, they finally gave up.
As Adam would be at the headquarters of the City B branch of the Mystery Department more often in the morning and evening, he forced Bella to bring her BMW. The young man was already feeling sorry for not being able to drive and pick up. She couldn't bear to let Bella leave and go home on her own by public transport.
Despite being convinced by Jennifer and Bella that they will be safe, Adam still insists on forcing Bella to bring a car.
In addition, Adam also tells Kyoko to hide in the shadow of Bella. It was because he did not want the girl to look ridiculous for bringing a stupid chicken to go everywhere.
Jennifer has also taken Killa everywhere. It made Adam feel more relieved. Naturally, he also told the two of them to immediately call himself at any time if there was any sense of awkwardness or need for help.
Wearing a turtleneck shirt with a black coat as before, Adam's figure dragged a suitcase containing some of the same clothes. Four turtleneck shirts, four trousers, four pairs of gloves and socks. Yes ... All are black.
In addition to the coat he was wearing, the young man also carried a gray coat and a black one in his bag. For the shoes, and some other additional equipment .. he will bring it tomorrow.
Adam considers this his work uniform.
Looking at the old gate that had changed its shape due to the ingestion of age, Adam nodded. Although not replaced, the gate looks cleaner. No more creaking sounds that hurt the sense of hearing.
Entering the section of the page, Adam smiled looking at the page that had been wiped clean. The trees and ornamental plants have also been neatly pruned. Staring into the mansion in a classic style with pure white paint, the young man once again nodded.
Not only painted, it looks like the leaking roof has also been repaired.
At the door, Adam rang the bell. Hearing the bell, the young man was convinced that electricity was also taken care of.
A few moments later, the door opened. James who looked somewhat hurriedly smiled bitterly when he saw Adam.
"Why should I push the bell, Mr Owl? Can't you just go in?"
"I'm just checking."
"By the way about checking, you have to look into your room first."
"Good."
Following James, Adam headed to his room. When he entered the room, the young man was a little surprised.
Wall paint replaced with cream color. The tiles on the floor were replaced with wooden floors. There were beds, tables, study chairs, shelves, and objects that Adam ordered with matching colors.
Natural, but also classic and elegant. Adam was most satisfied to see the cabinets and some shelves arranged so neat and beautiful. He could use it to store his special things.
In fact, the door and the keys to her room had changed.
James himself was quite envious when he saw Adam's beautiful room. Spent 15,000 alliance dollars just for the not-so-broad room. Totally worth four months gross pay of ordinary employees in City B.
"Thank you, James. It's really as I expected." Adam nodded.
"I should thank you, Mr. Owl. Thanks to your help, this place is finally quite worthy of being called the headquarters of the City B branch of the Mystery Department."
"Together." Adam looked relaxed. "It would be better if you plant flowers in the front and back yard of the house. A fish pond in the back of the house will also make the atmosphere more refreshing."
Hearing Adam's suggestion, James smiled bitterly.
"We'll think about it next time, Mr. Owl. Even the furniture has not been replaced. It's not good to take care of the others first."
"You're right. By the way ... have there been any strange cases or reports in the past three days?"
"Nothing." James shook his head lightly.
"Then ... are we really just eating blind paychecks?" murmured Adam.
Hearing Adam's words, the corner of James' lips twitched.
"It doesn't mean we're eating a blind paycheck, Mr. Owl. It's just, the cases we have to deal with are indeed quite rare."
"Not working and getting paid. Isn't that the same as blind pay?"
"..."
After a long sigh, James said with a depressed expression.
"Then I'll come down. After you finish arranging your luggage, you can come down. The others have arrived."
"Good."
"It seems like tomorrow I also need to bring some other items. It is better to ask James for help to buy tea sets, some blank notebooks, and other writing equipment. Anyway ... From now on I will work here during the day.
Rather than just being quiet, I'd better take the time to practice more and prescribe some other medication that's easier to learn so that next week can start production."
Adam muttered softly while arranging his luggage. He then rested in the room for a while to get used to it before finally descending to the first floor.
Arriving at the family room that looked clean, Adam saw four people who were there. They are James, Jasmine, Carole, and Douglas.
"En?" Adam looked a little strange. "Aren't you still in school, Jasmine?"
Hearing Owl's sudden question, Jasmine was stunned for a moment. The girl then lowered her head and started writing something on a small blackboard she was carrying and then picked it up.
'I graduated last year, Mr. Owl.'
Is that how you communicate? Really not talking?
Adam then sat down on one of the empty couches then looked towards Jasmine. She thinks the girl is still in 10th or 11th grade High School. I didn't know he had graduated.
While continuing college or not. Adam knew not everyone could continue their education to a higher level.
"A-Anu ..."
Carole raised her hand. Adam and the three others instantly turned their eyes towards the woman.
"What's up, Carole?" ask James.
"What are we going to do now, Chief?"
"Wait for the phone to ring." James replied firmly.
Ignoring James speaking nonsense with a straight face, Adam explains to Carole.
"Miss Carole, right? You better get used to it. Maybe for a month or so we'll just sit idling because we don't get a job.
Let's just say you get paid to do nothing."
"..." - ".Carole's mouth gaped.
As an office lady, she was always pressured to work hard. Even many of the superiors who glanced at him because of his face or body. They deliberately make it work harder to be depressed and come to give relief.
Yes ... waivers with certain conditions.
That makes Carole often move from one company to another. Sometimes, good looks are not only a gift, but a disaster.
Not working and being paid dearly, the woman had never heard of such a thing.
"A-You must be kidding me, Mr. Owl. Hehehe ..." Carole laughed awkwardly.
"Yes. I was kidding." Adam let out a long sigh, not wanting to make the woman depressed.
The ring! The ring! The ring!
At that moment, James's phone rang. Seeing the identity of the caller, he immediately got up from his chair and left the room.
Moments later, James returned with a somewhat depressed expression.
"There's work waiting for us, guys. Not just one, but two! I'm going with Douglas and Jasmine. Mr. Owl, you'll go along with Carole.
Don't refuse .. You're stronger than me and Douglas combined. So it's just the women's side that's being randomized."
"Good." Adam replied with an indifferent expression.
Rather than dizzying it, Adam instead stared at the distressed James suspiciously.
Don't tell ... This guy really intends to eat a blind paycheck?
