A few days had passed, and the branch office wasn’t too busy. Everyone was waiting for Rylan Williams to arrive. Even Henry Carter came back. He didn’t spend much time at work each day, coming in now and then, and no one knew what he was busy with all day long. The rumors from Leah Nelson indicated that he was trying to arrange a transfer out.

"Mr. Carter, the self-study examination is tomorrow, and I need to go to the city to take it. I would like to request two days off," Peter Brown said, as he approached Henry Carter’s office.

With a smile on his face, Henry Carter asked, "How is the self-study examination arranged?"

"In our province, it’s held four times a year, each session is on a Saturday and Sunday, covering four subjects each time."

"How many subjects are you taking?"

"Fifteen subjects."

"Ah, taking self-study exams isn’t easy! But, you know, to work here, you need a diploma. Study well. There isn’t much going on recently, so it’s okay to take a few more days. Go ahead."

Henry Carter didn’t have much interest in his current work anymore, so he agreed to Peter Brown’s leave request.

After agreeing to the leave, Henry Carter thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don’t have to start from the Associate’s degree."

Peter obviously confused, asked, "How would that work?"

Henry Carter smiled and said, "Provincial University has a pilot program. I heard it from a classmate of mine. Let me ask about it for you."
