The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583 Annoying Poltergeist

Being a cleaner at a funeral home meant that the work was simpler, and the pay was slightly better. The only downside was that the working environment was eerie.

Harper could tell that Natalie wasn’t going to butter anyone up, so the former wanted to teach the latter a lesson.

Hah, I hope she gets scared out of her mind. Only then will she learn to obey and let me boss her around.

Harper was waiting for Natalie to admit defeat, but the latter simply nodded without hesitating. “Okay, no problem.” After saying that, Natalie picked up the mop and headed over to the morgue.

Harper was speechless.

She wanted to make things difficult for Natalie and force the latter to pay a bribe or something. Unfortunately, no one cared about any of that.

Ah, this is so frustrating! It’s fine. I’ll pay attention and look for another opportunity to bully that young lady.

Natalie carried the bucket and the mop all the way to the morgue.

No one ever went there unless it was to pick up or drop off a body.

It could be the cooler installed or it could be the fear the corpse inspired, but the place had always been strangely eerie and cold.

Even a buffy guy would need a strong heart to be there, so by right, a young helpless lady should be terrified.

Natalie was not a regular young lady, though. She had seen plenty of corpses, and most were bloody. There were simply too many bodies in the coroner’s office, and those victims did not die of natural causes. That meant Natalie had witnessed all sorts of terrifying corpses.

The morgue at the funeral home was, therefore, a piece of cake for her.

It was eight in the morning when she reached the place, and Melissa’s funeral would take place at nine o’clock.

Natalie would have to spend thirty minutes cleaning the place up, but after that, she could sneak over to check out the ceremony.

About ten minutes later, Natalie heard footsteps behind her and concluded that someone had been following her around.

She took advantage of the blind spot when she turned the corner, and that was when she discovered the truth. The person following her around was none other than Harper, who had tried to bully Natalie earlier.

Ah, so the old wives’ tale is right. Even the devil isn’t as annoying as the poltergeists.

Natalie sighed internally and in frustration. She didn’t want to make things difficult for the cleaning lady, but the latter was impossible.
