Man, what a day! I swear, being an insurance investigator in Simiane-Collongue is like being in a soap opera. Seriously, I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring Tuesday. Boy, was I wrong!
First off, I hit the road on Rue de la République. You know, the main drag? It’s usually chill, but today? Nah, not a chance. Traffic was a nightmare. I’m sittin’ there, just me and my coffee, and I’m like, “C’mon, people! Let’s move!” I mean, it’s not like we’re in Paris or something.
Finally, I get to the office on Avenue de la Libération. I’m already late, and my boss is gonna flip. But guess what? I walk in, and he’s not even there! Classic. I could’ve slept in. So, I grab my files and head out to check on a claim. Some dude said his car got stolen from the parking lot near the Parc de la Mairie.
I get there, and it’s a whole scene. The guy’s pacing like a caged animal. “My car! My precious car!” he’s yelling. I’m like, “Dude, it’s a 2005 Renault. Chill.” But he’s not having it. Turns out, he left the keys in it. I mean, c’mon! Who does that? I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing.
Then, I stroll down Rue des Écoles, and I see this cute little café. I’m starving, so I pop in for a quick bite. The croissants? To die for! I’m munching away, and this old lady starts chatting me up. She’s telling me about the history of Simiane-Collongue. Apparently, it’s been around since the Roman times. Who knew? I’m just trying to enjoy my pastry, lady! But hey, I love a good history lesson.
After my snack, I head to the claim site. It’s a small apartment complex near the Place de la République. I knock on the door, and this lady answers. She’s all frazzled, hair everywhere. “My husband’s missing!” she says. I’m like, “Missing? Or just at the bar?” Turns out, he’s been gone for two days. Now, that’s a real mystery.
I start asking questions, and she’s all over the place. “He went to buy bread!” “He said he’d be back!” I’m thinking, “Lady, he probably just got lost in the maze of streets.” Simiane-Collongue can be confusing, I’ll give it that.
So, I’m trying to piece this together, and suddenly, my phone buzzes. It’s my boss. “Where are you?” he asks. I’m like, “Dude, I’m solving a mystery here!” But he’s not having it. “Get back to the office!” Ugh, fine.
I rush back, and on the way, I trip over a cobblestone. Classic me. I’m cursing under my breath, and this guy walking by just laughs. I mean, really? I’m having a rough day here!
Finally, I get back to the office, and my boss is waiting. He’s all serious, and I’m like, “What now?” Turns out, the missing husband was found. He was at the bar, just like I thought! I can’t help but chuckle.
So, I wrap up my day, and as I’m leaving, I look back at the city. Simiane-Collongue, with its winding streets and quirky charm. It’s a wild place, full of surprises. I love it, even when it drives me nuts.
I get in my car, and I’m just thinking, “What a day!” I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
