這間在屋邨裡的麵包店，位於每人每天走去地鐵站時必要經過的小馬路旁，雖然正於商場旁邊，但也無損它的叫座力。店舖只有一百多呎，裝潢卻高貴得奇異。全透明的店身讓內部一覽無遺，但玻璃經常不知名地起霧。天花板掛著璀璨水晶吊燈，地板鋪著粉紅色雲石，每個金絲籃旁都貼著鑽石，三位女員工都穿著白色襯衫加銀色圍裙，胸口別著粉藍水晶襟針。麵包店看上去只能說是很豪華，而說不上有格調，感覺也很冰冷。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQSpX8SMY

麵包店內的款式只有六款：牛奶餐包、牛油蛋糕、肉鬆紫菜包、棉花糖批、椰絲蛋卷及香橙蛋卷。聽上去不特別吸引，看上去別人不會「相機先吃」，感覺很平民，好像老闆花在麵包的心思跟裝潢的價格不成正比。雖然款式少，但每款的麵包數量很多，也能把店舖的兩邊靠牆的麵包櫃填滿，以致望眼看過去空間不會太空洞。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEPNLraapz

下午兩點時段，店內不算人多，只有零星兩、三個客人，員工們心態上都有點輕鬆。直到有個人影慢慢逼近麵包店，站得畢直在收銀櫃後的阿泡，好像非常洩氣般翻了一個白眼：「她又來了。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuHRyqp2qP
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd0Ob0EuQR
一位步伐蹣跚、滿臉皺紋的老婆婆推門而入，今天，她仍然穿著深紫色碎花大襯衫。這是阿泡在今星期內，第82次見到這個婆婆。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7AXThsR0j
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pJdrwnM9C
婆婆走到阿泡臉前：「有沒有麵包派呀？阿婆八十多歲啦。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyfLRN7Cs
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGTtpN9Ngw
阿泡不耐煩：「沒有啊。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtszsHmAaNi
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfTvdnRaeb
婆婆一臉懵懂：「沒有嗎？阿婆八十多歲啦。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM85tKHrFd9
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlN9Et0AOO
阿泡試著按捺時，身體動作就會把左手按著她的薰衣草色頭髮上：「沒有啊，八十多歲也沒有啊。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs9HtsKlh4
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjLtbY0Ba
婆婆語氣開始滲著怒火：「有就要，沒有就沒有囉！阿婆八十多歲啦！想欺負我呀？現在的年青人真壞。」其實，一位真正懵懂的老人家，應該不會這麼容易就聽懂別人的拒絕。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX3FBzR18V
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQE13Jr17X
婆婆轉身走人，離開時又倒是走得健步如飛。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DG4w7gvJe
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOwSJAiEK3
站在阿泡旁的小藝推推阿泡的手肘：「她是真傻還是假傻啊？」小藝是一位身型高大，說話卻很柔弱的女生。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqxojVOypF
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRVfxxsR4
阿泡吁一口氣：「怎知道，我只知她五分鐘後又會過來。」只是應付老婆婆幾句的阿泡已經很累，因為這不只是一次就過去而已，而是每一天都要面對的處境。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0P6TzIbWe
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcs7xDA8p
下午兩點，是另一位員工小柔的下班時間，她只是兼職員工而已。在放工打卡後，走出店門前，她一定會爽快大聲跟小藝和阿泡說：「同事，我下班啦。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDciWqH1FqF
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEKrkR9kjB
這是小柔的「解咒咒語」。因為下班後的自由時間太珍貴，若果依然被上班中所遇到那種種討厭的人與事困擾，就太不值。所以，她要下班後的自己都是重新的自己。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnlEnVvGAb
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGiE9uYhlk
就在小柔推門而出的一刻，那位老婆婆又來了。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZLzVQufna
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7X0YiqEaO
老婆婆就像金魚般，什麼都忘了，所有對話再次輪迴。只是，老婆婆什麼都忘記，就是記得要上來麵包店問有否麵包可以拿。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QckLLEibB
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3ZGzsbicV
老婆婆又一臉懵懂，好像很純真地問：「有沒有麵包派呀？阿婆八十多歲啦。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptS7vvymRn
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABIqJGU4C8
阿泡抱著頭：「救命！妳覺得我要不要把這件事告訴老闆？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUFzUskivI
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQt549Bful
小藝雙眼撐大：「告訴老闆？這……那位婆婆後果會很……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqL8dVZQke
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU4bcFfB9v
阿泡細想，其實老婆婆雖然煩人，但又沒攻擊她，也不算是很討厭……所以就算了吧。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxet8X5SY
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG3LWoRG2V
這時，定時會從偏遠的製包工廠送麵包貨過來的大哥到了店舖。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75q5gTemgd
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uWU25KkAg
小藝走了過去開門，好讓大哥可以順暢把一箱箱剛剛出爐的麵包送入店內補貨。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sxMwKcBco
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSD9Ur6PZ2
滿身汗水的大哥帶點興奮的語氣說：「今天終於又有新款麵包推出啦，是開店四年之後的第七款麵包。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCPtE4X0p
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SDzYGPlZW
小藝：「吓？真的，什麼口味的麵包？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4dpeXOQZr
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LkxSz0V3
大哥拿出一個手掌心大的栗子包：「就栗子包，剛才試吃，蠻好吃的。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmr5vZL39f
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloLYxfYAfh
阿泡有點失望：「仍然是很普通的口味嘛，但好過沒有是真的。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPaPUK0NFX
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84Stsw411
小藝歪頭：「是嗎？沒有新口味比較好吧。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43fuD8Qj82

阿泡在這間詭異的麵包店當員工之前，她本來是在旅行社當導遊。在一次的外地帶隊中，她認識了麵包店的老闆——阿祺。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWClEUM7Sh
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbueUN7vuEa
阿祺是一位三十出頭的男性，氣質斯文沉穩，不說話時像在沉思，反正他的心思就不像是踏實在此刻裡。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZrlf65rhX
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8BlvRr5BF
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7f4SsGNZo
旅行幾天來阿泡都見他穿不同款式，卻同樣是天藍色的外衣。看他這身打扮，很難想像他開的店舖會是走水晶豪華系列。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxvzoWj0RZ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQRDD5dhTg
那次七天六夜的郵輪帶隊中，有位中年女團友非常野蠻，三不五時就無理取鬧，當眾罵阿泡，又會半夜打電話到阿泡房間罵髒話，或要阿泡幫她送牛奶到她房間。這不是阿泡第一次遇到麻煩客了。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoamNXSDW7
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWu4EMzqbI
旁人就只會看著阿泡受氣，同事也不敢得罪客人，阿泡只能容忍。可惜那位中年女團友並不懂見好就收，她看見阿泡啞忍，就變本加厲，三分顏色上大紅。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMAAwaLSwZ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA6RzrDVtq
第一天的晚上十時，郵輪的歌劇院有自由入場的雜技表演，但中年女團友遲到了十五分鐘才進場，前排的位置一早沒有了。於是，她責罵阿泡沒有為她預留最好的位置。可是這不是阿泡的工作職責。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75EIz3GYoe
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYEyRAJhVh
第二天下船觀光，中午時份天氣炎熱，中年女團友抱怨阿泡沒有為團友準備紙巾，走路覺得辛苦又要阿泡替她拿手袋。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnfoO7nI98
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Oc263Rw9
第三天下午，中年女團友在郵輪的餐廳上暈船，她怪阿泡沒有為她準備藥物。但全都是團友應該為自己負責的問題。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKlhKjBZ5
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufNXGlW6wR
這些狀況，阿祺都一一看在眼內，但他並沒有出手為阿泡解難。畢竟他又不是對她有意思，他也沒有英雄救美的情操，但他對阿泡有保持應有的基本尊重。因為阿祺認為阿泡的身份是一位旅行領隊，而他就是一位團友。並不是他付了錢就是老闆，就可以當阿泡是下人去無理取鬧，大家身份平等，互相尊重便可以。除非其中一方先作破壞。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSDe6PYcMw
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R7EmGdHxC
在第四天的清晨，受了氣整夜沒睡的阿泡，索性打算起床走到甲板看日出。免得腦中一直被討厭的人和事佔據。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXrdfAQDmz
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoVEJkfMNu
她只穿了簡單的連身黑白間條裙，配著拖鞋，不施脂粉頂著蓬鬆的長髮就出房門。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvotRYmWYx
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKCeoGB8qD
清晨時份天色仍然濛瀧一片，甲板沒有白天和晚上人潮為患，泳池空空如也，氣氛十分寧靜。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCAVH0hLpy
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVitynWeh4
身處海上，阿泡感覺到皮膚充滿濕氣，不過微涼的海風一略過，又會回復清爽。可能天氣有點涼，阿泡不自覺雙手環抱著自己往內縮。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04RaGYF3J
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8YZANAZMz
多走幾步，阿泡看見阿祺的身影。他好像被迷霧包圍著似的，有種說不出的神秘感。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPNiEEEgpH
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOknMT6Sn
職業驅使阿泡主動走上前跟阿祺打招呼：「早晨。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wSClkoiTX
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn76NOhfcQW
阿祺沒有被突如其來的聲音驚動，也很淡定地轉臉，禮貌地回應：「早晨。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliktCziOtr
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gMfpE7jC
阿祺留意到阿泡的熊貓眼，也推測到是什麼原因。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3dmdNAYvp
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GJ0Iw4Reb
他以開玩笑的口吻輕鬆說：「妳的黑眼圈好大。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVnAG0VtR7
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIQgp0GYo
阿泡反射性摸摸自己的眼袋。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSmPRPwJQN
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECsEw7TEQF
阿祺心血來潮有個念頭，所以他先試水溫打探她的心思：「妳不會介懷嗎？當妳受到無理對待的時候？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkYjj3pRDO
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPnWZD0A4B
阿泡直接反問：「你也試過受到不公平對待嗎？別人自己主動走過來去罵翻你。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrOJpPVuhJ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIpace0RI2
阿祺笑笑：「我試過很多次，不過後來我有力量，找到方式對付他們。而妳還沒回答我問題呢。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXDb1dK9Qa
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbndZq2vued
阿泡認真想了想：「會介懷。我也一直想辦法，去訓練自己變得聰明點，可以有效應付這些麻煩人，又不會找到自己麻煩。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OXoX2s533
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhAAyNlNs
阿祺：「但心情仍然不舒暢啊。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwurrQtXWC
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCevhz4zE57
阿泡嘆一口氣：「很難會完全舒暢得到，畢竟對方不會因你而改變，別人依然故我。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYhXgMAnW0
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6EkkJg8v
阿祺靠近阿泡耳邊：「妳覺得還可以有別的方式嗎？例如……更簡單，對方吃回自己種下的果，妳又可以令自己釋懷的痛快方式。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKezB8Umdxb
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tIMQV2Ld
阿泡倒是也很鎮定地反問：「又例如呢？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ATX8YNhY
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuiRlQr2TS
日出的陽光開始映在阿祺臉上：「就是把那些人帶進迷霧中。」他的眼神也閃閃發光446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGJKbmv00E
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvcbdVMNK
阿泡眨著眼晴：「迷霧？我不明白。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZ8HUpDxu
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwQFaOFfTz
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8XkycI1kX
阿祺眼神閃閃發光：「就用一些方法，讓他們一直……不能再囂張下去。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6HNvPU0d
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZI3F0MfCc
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwtqxKdX0D
阿泡：「你可以幫我？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAYr5i5u7
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcNzYN1189
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd8U5F9yqP
阿祺：「可以，但有交換條件。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBnrQF3ygP
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MMb3rYUsi
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJV0kmwtU
———————————————————446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY32PSKUfq
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z6FjAzeVO
記得在兩人熟稔之後，阿泡問過阿祺為什麼要把店裝潢得如此華麗，阿祺這樣說：「外面看上去華麗、好看就可以了，人們只看外在，內在如何醜陋，也不要緊，人們要的只是外在的虛幻。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBEu1ft98
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKfn6jNwW
阿泡又認真想了想：「也是。」之後她就穿起她的銀色圍裙，準備上班。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzwVhOeiVy
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb4bkUVHjL
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuR0y5x6pK
她不再害怕欺善怕惡的人了，因為她有了方式去對付他們，讓自己的生活只留下痛快的回憶。每次在工廠看著那一個個辛苦又不能停止工作，只能無奈日以繼夜開工的背影，阿泡感到非常滿意。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsw7grdkhW
