At noon that day, while Lloyd was eating in the public cafeteria, Military Supply Priest Andrew sat down beside him with a food tray and handed him a fancy, gilt-edged business card.
It read 'Critic Gedok,' with an address printed below.
"I don't know the fellow personally; another friend recommended him. He's supposedly a rather popular and well-regarded political commentator, known for his incisive takes and fresh perspectives. He frequently publishes articles in various newspapers and journals... Think he might be able to help?"
Andrew explained.
"This should work. Thanks."
"Don't mention it. Just remember to give me some business in the future."
The two finished their meal while making small talk. Afterward, Lloyd went to tell Weiya he was heading out to look for some materials.
But Weiya stopped him and said with great sincerity,
"Lloyd, if you're really short on money... you can tell me."
'Looks like she thinks I'm heading out to do a side hustle for extra cash...'
