I said,"Actually,when you told me the story in the villa that day,I almost thought you were Lily.But it wasn't until I checked the information of the Everglow Group on the Internet a few days ago that I found one of the legal representatives was named Lucy."
She sighed and said,"Yes,I'm Lucy,and Lily was my infatuated sister."
Next,she told me-
She went abroad to study when she was sixteen or seventeen years old.Due to the pandemic,she hadn't returned to the country for several years.
After her sister's sudden death,her parents were heartbroken.That's why she quickly booked a ticket and rushed back from abroad.
Her sister died full of hatred,but that scumbag brother-in-law was in a hurry to put the house up for sale so that he could take Amy far away.She was so angry that she vowed to do everything she could to prevent the house from being sold.
With a face that was eight or nine points similar to her sister's,she self-directed and self-acted in this farce of a haunted house.
She got the spare key to the villa from her parents and controlled the main switch outside at night to create the illusion of power outages from time to time.
Since her sister always had bangs,she even cut her hair into the same style as her sister's,making it even more difficult to tell them apart.
Now that the goal had been achieved,she had nothing to hide and told me the whole story.
I smiled and said,"With such a beautiful face,you shouldn't dress up as a ghost again in the future."
She sighed again and said,"If it wasn't a last resort,who would want to wear a makeup like a dead person?"
I was a bit confused and asked,"You dressed up as a ghost,but why did you always say you were offering'door-to-door service'?"
She couldn't help laughing and said,"I thought that men can't resist external temptations.Maybe it would be easier to get you to open the door this way.Unexpectedly,you're quite honest."
"..."I was speechless and said,"Then how did you know my surname?"
She said honestly,"I asked your friend named Tom..."
Damn Tom!He actually betrayed me!
After walking out of the cemetery,I called Tom and gave him a good scolding,asking him why he betrayed me.
Tom said,"I was playing mahjong at the mahjong parlor the other day.Suddenly,a pretty girl came and asked me about you.She also asked me to keep it a secret and said she wanted to give you a surprise.I thought you were having good luck with women.So,did you get a surprise?"
I gritted my teeth and said,"Surprise your ass!You almost scared me to death!"
Tom laughed loudly on the phone and said,"Aren't you supposed to be fearless?Look at you now!"After a pause,he added,"By the way,I saw on the Moments that your ex-girlfriend seems to be engaged.She's really fast."
I stood there stunned.It took me a long time to say two words,"Lisa..."
Lucy noticed my strange expression and asked,"What's wrong?Are you still thinking about your ex-girlfriend?"
I hung up the phone and smiled bitterly,saying,"What's there to think about?She's almost getting married.It's just that we weren't meant to be together after all."
Lucy said softly,"The Everglow Group is currently recruiting front-end engineers.The monthly salary is between$1500 and$2200,and there's a 13th-month salary at the end of the year.Are you interested?"
I nodded vigorously and said repeatedly,"Then please,Miss Lucy,help me submit my resume."
As the saying goes,a wise man submits to circumstances.
"Sure,but-"she smiled sweetly,"How about having a cup of coffee together before submitting the resume?"
"Of course!I'll follow your arrangements,Miss Lucy!"
