As Peter Brown was about to refine the medicinal liquid, Edward Martin called him.
"Peter, where are you?" Edward asked straightaway.
Edward didn't know about Peter's trip abroad.
"What's up? Is there anything wrong?" Peter could sense anxiety in Edward's voice.
"Peter, here's the thing, something sudden has happened in the province, and there's already gossip. I think my dad is going to make a move."
Peter was genuinely surprised, "What happened? Isn't this too sudden?" Peter had a lot on his plate recently, and he didn't even know what he was doing. It was a mess, and hearing this news was quite shocking.
"I'm not too clear on the specifics, but my dad is about to be transferred. I wanted you to know."
Peter nodded secretly, as this indeed posed a problem.
"I know."
Peter spoke a few more words with Edward before hanging up.
Deep down, Peter did not want to deal with such things, even if they were related to his own interests.
