To say that Mrs. Brown was surprised when she first received a call from Crystal's mother would be an understatement.
After all, this woman was a true introvert and a homebody. She would never leave her home even in an apocalypse, and would never talk to anyone who didn't talk to her first.
Even though they had become 'friends' now, it had all been purely on her own initiative, and Mrs. Miller still only 'responded' to her, and made no efforts to ever call her or talk to her.
"She must be in some trouble, interesting…"
It only got more interesting when the woman insisted that they couldn't talk about it on call, and that she should visit the restaurant today if she was free.
Of course, Mrs. Brown was anything but free these days, since she was still dealing with digesting the huge amount of resources she had recently obtained from both the White Deer and Black Tiger.
