“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 he 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 him a call soon!”
As soon as he hung up, Gerald lay on his bed before calling Barry next.
Barry seemed quite agitated upon receiving the call. However, he 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 her every night, just to have a short talk. However, she hadn’t been picking up on any of his calls for a while now.
Meanwhile, Mila was thinking about Gerald back in her 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.
