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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteerie 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.
If Harper continued following Natalie around, it would make things more difficult for the latter and could expose her.
A mischievous glint flashed past Natalie’s eyes.
Well, if this poltergeist insists on messing with me, I’ll have no choice but to teach her a lesson.
Harper had been following Natalie around to check if the latter was slacking off. If that was the case, the former
would report the matter to their boss.
She thought she was well hidden and kept a close enough eye, but Natalie disappeared in a blink of an eye.
“Huh? Where is she? That b*tch sure can move. Where has she gone off to? I knew it. She may be a newbie, but
she doesn’t behave like one. I bet she’s sneaking out and being lazy right now,” cussed the uncouth Harper.
And then it happened.
Click! The lights from the entire floor suddenly went out.
Harper’s heart jumped with fear, but she forced herself to act calm. “Oy, who’s there? Who’s messing with the
lights? It’s you, isn’t it? You b*tch! How dare you pull a prank on me?”
It would take the eye some time to adjust to the sudden darkness, so Harper couldn’t see anything.
She wasn’t superstitious, but the situation at the time was too eerie and inspired a little fear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, she kept cussing nonstop. Maybe that was her way of dealing with her fear of the unknown.
“Who’s there? Show yourself. Oh, don’t let me catch you. If I do, I will punish you so severely. I am Harper Chisholm,
and I have never been afraid of anyone. Do you realize how many years I spent working here? I’ve seen all sorts of
characters…”
Suddenly…
A faint blue light zipped past right in front of Harper. Someone with a pale face and messy hair sprang up out of
nowhere.
The person had ridiculously small irises and half of her face was swaying in the air.
“Ah!”
That face was right in front of Harper, and it got her to scream aloud before fleeing fearfully in the other direction.
As she ran, she fell onto the floor. She couldn’t be bothered to check her dislocated bones and ran ahead as soon
as she got back up on her feet.
Natalie saw how Harper was practically crying while running away. The former readjusted her own eyes and put her
hyper-realistic mask on properly once more. She smiled and shook her head. My, that woman’s behavior sure has
changed after being scared.
