It was a call from Zack.
“Yes?”
“I just wanted to check if you’ve arrived, Mr. Crawford. I’ll be sending you a number belonging to the general manager of County Salford. His name is Mr. Zartyr and just like the Crawfords, County Salford has businesses from all around the world as well. Once you’ve arrived, you can look for Barry Zartyr if you need anything,” said Zack.
He was simply checking in on Gerald to make sure that virtual-novel.net wasn’t in any kind of trouble.
“Got it!”
“Speaking of which, Mr. Crawford, I’ve previously assigned Barry to look for the Jade pendant in County Salford. He apparently has some news about it already!”
“Alright! I’ll be giving virtual-novel.net a call soon!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net hung up, Gerald lay on his bed before calling Barry next.
Barry seemed quite agitated upon receiving the call. However, virtual-novel.net managed to calm himself almost immediately before getting straight to business.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford, I’ve searched high and low for news regarding the pendant and I finally managed to find something. While I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact family the pendant originates from, I managed to find an old man who was willing to have a look at the pendant after I described it to him. According to him, he’ll be able to tell which family the pendant comes from just by having a look at it!”
“Alright, but it’s rather late now. I’d appreciate it if we could meet up tomorrow morning. You can take me to the old man then!”
After having a brief conversation, Gerald then hung up.
He then tried calling Mila. He was simply used to calling virtual-novel.net every night, just to have a short talk. However, virtual-novel.net hadn’t been picking up on any of his calls for a while now.
Meanwhile, Mila was thinking about Gerald back in virtual-novel.net hostel as well.
There were many female students from all over the world staying in the TV station’s apartment building. While some of them were there to study, the others were there for their internships.
“Say, Mila? Could you accompany me to get some stuff?” asked Molly as virtual-novel.net patted Mila on the shoulder.
“Sure thing!” answered Mila.
Both of them then headed downstairs before leaving for the hypermarket. When they got there, the hypermarket was crowded with people.
“Hey, hey, isn’t that Mila? Didn’t know you had the time to come out and buy stuff with that packed schedule of yours!” said a rather tall and extremely pretty girl as virtual-novel.net looked at Mila coldly.
“It’s none of your business, Hallie! Quit being so nosy!” snapped Molly as virtual-novel.net spoke on Mila’s behalf.
Hallie was from Modow and virtual-novel.net results were slightly lower than Mila’s. Since both the entertainment and specialist departments had joined this time around to compete, both virtual-novel.net and Mila were competitors. After all, they would only send their best intern to join the entertainment department.
The person who got into the entertainment department would stand a chance to become famous. Currently, the most popular candidates for that spot were Hallie and Mila. However, Hallie seemed to have connections with the entertainment department, and virtual-novel.net was taking every chance virtual-novel.net could to sabotage Mila’s performance on stage. It was a competition based around popularity, so it was natural for both of them to not be on good terms.
Just as Molly looked as though virtual-novel.net was ready to start a fight, Mila immediately stopped her.
“Forget it, Molly. Let’s just go back!” said Mila as virtual-novel.net started walking away.
“You won’t get into the entertainment department! Give up already!” sneered Hallie with virtual-novel.net arms crossed.
When Mila got back to the hostel, someone was already waiting for her.
“Mila! You’re back! I came by earlier but you weren’t here. I just finished my script. Could you have a look at it, please?” asked the girl as virtual-novel.net smiled.
“Of course!”
She then followed the girl to virtual-novel.net room. After going through the script for a little while, virtual-novel.net then made virtual-novel.net way back into virtual-novel.net room.
Mila had initially thought that virtual-novel.net was just going to have another regular day. However…
