Chapter 144 Director
Chapter 144 Director (Drunk Limited Edition)
I didn't know that as soon as I left, my family would be in trouble with Aquarius director.
At this time, Leon was standing outside the director's office, preparing to report the day's situation, and by the way, greet the red-haired director and tell her that he was going to sleep in the bureau at night, but...
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
"who is it?"
"Chief, it's me."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Leon!"
"Who is Leon?"
"..."
Listening to the answer that was not very logical but obviously out of his mind, Leon outside the door could not help but remain silent for a while, then asked in silence:
"Captain, have you drunk?"
"Drank...who?"
There is no doubt that he must have drunk a lot...
"Chief, I'm coming in, please don't do anything!"
As Leon spoke, he tentatively pushed the door open a little, but before he could see what was inside, a strong smell of alcohol rushed up to his head, making his eyes go dark.
Oh my god, you really can drink!
Looking at the pile of empty bottles taller than a person next to his desk, and the red-haired beauty lying on the desk and grinning at him, Leon was secretly shocked and couldn't help but have a headache.
Since he found himself being targeted by the rebels and was worried that they would attack his family, Leon originally planned to ask the red-haired director for help and see if he could transfer the "protective hair" that had been tied around his neck but never activated to Anna, and then try to give two to William and Melanie as well.
After all, it was because of work that I got into trouble with the rebels, and protecting the employees' families should also be the responsibility of the Cleanup Bureau. If it is really inconvenient, I can exchange it with abnormal objects or something else. It just so happens that the "ghost hand under the bed" given by Senior Jerry is of little use to me, so I might as well use it to buy a talisman for my younger brother and sister.
But seeing that the director is in a state comparable to that of "Ma Shemei", I guess I may not be able to get any definite answer even if I ask her here all night. Why not just forget about it today and wait until she sobers up tomorrow.
Anyway, the Secret Investigation Bureau is about to start a large-scale search, and the rebels will definitely be unable to take care of themselves in the short term. Anna and the others still have the protection of the Happy Apartment. As long as they say hello to the administrator aunt when they go out every day, they can bring the safety buff. It doesn't matter if they save one or two days...
"Little Leon~ You are Little Leon, right?"
Just as Leon was hesitating whether to leave, the drunken red-haired director slapped his forehead, sat up from the table, and said with a silly smile:
"You're late! Ahahaha, I've already drunk all the wine! Don't even think about drinking from me anymore!"
"..."
This silly woman!
Looking at the woman in front of him whose brain reeked of alcohol, it was hard to associate her with the "wise and brave" director when he was sober, and Leon couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"I'm not competing with you for the wine... Weren't you fine during the day? Why did you drink so much?"
“Because I got my salary~”
After shaking his head vigorously, he seemed to be a little more sober, and his words became more logical. The red-haired director chuckled and said:
"I owed you too much money last time when I treated you to a drink. I haven't had any money to buy a drink for a while. Now I'm finally a little better off. If I don't have a good drink, the alcohol bug in my stomach will die of thirst!"
"..."
To be honest, if that thing really exists, it would be better to let it die of thirst. However... did you owe a lot of money because I treated you to a drink last time?
After looking at the brilliant [Wine Country Martyr] on the panel, Leon couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, and then said embarrassedly:
"Well, can I ask how much money you owed that time?"
"Wow... I really owe you a lot..."
After hearing Leon's question, the red-haired director, who had just been full of joy, suddenly lost her expression. She blinked her charming fox eyes, counting on her fingers with tears in her eyes, and said:
"Including the money I paid at the store, the bill I sent over still totaled over 300 gold wheels. And I spent so much money, but you ended up drinking more than me, and I didn't get much..."
"..."
More than three hundred gold wheels... Wow, he drank away half a year's salary of mine that day?
“This… It’s actually so much. I’m really embarrassed…” Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked to hear the bill was three times higher than he expected. Then, under the pitiful gaze of the red-haired director, he scratched the back of his head and said, “I’m so sorry.
"Director, how about I..."
"Pay my bills?"
"Um... it's not about the bill. What I want to say is, how about I take you home? You'll catch a cold if you sleep here..."
"..."
After turning his head slightly to avoid the confused look of the red-haired director, Leon walked over and picked up the drunken girl from the table.
It is impossible for me to pay the bill. I will never be able to pay the bill in this lifetime. The director was so generous to treat me to a drink. Wouldn’t it be ungrateful if I rushed to pay the bill?
What's more, there is Anna's medicine, the family's rent, and my brother and sister's tuition...well...and the director is an alcoholic, it's good for her health to drink less. If I pay the bill and let her have money to buy alcohol again, I will be harming her!
After shamelessly finding a bunch of excuses for himself, Leon coughed dryly and said to the red-haired director who kept glaring at him in his arms:
"Chief, where is your home?"
"I don't have a home."
"Um... where do you usually sleep?"
"In the suite outside the tavern, or... or in the reception room upstairs..."
"..."
"You pity me?"
"..."
Before Leon could think of how to answer, a fair and slender arm reached out, pinched Leon's chin, and turned his head towards himself.
After staring at Leon's eyes that were faintly soft, the red-haired director wrinkled his nose, slightly opened his rosy lips, and sprayed the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of gardenia on his face, and said rather domineeringly:
"I'm fine on my own! Don't feel sorry for me! I don't deserve pity!"
"Uh-huh."
"you do not believe?"
As if he felt that his "authority as director" was challenged, the red-haired director stiffened his neck and glared at Leon, and kicked him lightly with his foot.
"I'm very strong! No matter I was betrayed, hated, or alienated, I never cried! It's the same even if everyone in the bureau ran away. I'm never afraid of being alone! I'm not afraid!"
"..."
So strange... Are she and the director during the day really the same person?
Looking at the little woman who was shouting that she was not afraid but subconsciously grabbed her sleeves and curled up in her arms, Leon hesitated for a moment and then suggested:
"Chief, you should rest. How about I take you upstairs first?"
"I do not want to go……"
After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired chief suddenly grabbed his collar and said with tears in his eyes:
"There were a lot of people scolding me up there, I didn't dare go up there when I was awake..."
A lot of people upstairs are scolding you?
Leon was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked curiously:
"Isn't the upstairs empty? Hasn't anyone been there all this time?"
"Yes, there has always been one!"
Seeing that a mere little Leon didn't believe him, the red-haired chief couldn't help but pout and argue:
"I have counted carefully. From the fifth floor to the top floor, there are a total of 129.6 million people cursing me. It has never stopped over the years. If you don't believe me, just listen!"
