Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1566

The next day, Nathan left with Kylie without informing Penny to find the perfect venue for the birthday banquet.

“Nathan, a new hotel had just opened in Channing. It's right smack in Moon Bay Beach, so its name is Cresent Moon Hotel. I know the owner of the hotel. Why don't we reserve the entire hotel to surprise Penny?”

Recently, Crescent Moon Hotel was promoting itself through various advertisements. That was how Nathan knew of its opening.

The hotel was located by the beach, so the view was stunningly beautiful. One could hear the relaxing sound of waves lapping against the shore. It was also elegantly decorated, so it would be the perfect venue for the party.

Nathan's lips curved up in a smile. “Good idea. Let's go there now. If it's good enough, let's hold the party there.”

Soon, Nathan and Kylie arrived at Crescent Moon Hotel.

“Welcome!”

Two bellboys bowed and greeted them at the entrance with a smile.

As soon as Nathan and Kylie entered the grand lobby, a female manager, whose name tag on her uniform showed her name as Alma Thrane, came up to them and asked politely, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

Nathan replied with a polite smile. “My wife is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. I would like to reserve the entire hotel to hold a birthday banquet.”

Reserve the entire Crescent Moon Hotel?

Alma and the other hotel staff were shocked by his announcement.

Doesn't he know Crescent Moon Hotel is the most premium and expensive hotel in Channing?How dare he request to reserve the entire hotel?

A dumbstruck Alma studied Nathan closely. “Nathan Cross?” she suddenly exclaimed.

Nathan scanned her briefly before realizing who she was. “You're Alma Thrane!”

Alma used to go to the same school as Nathan.

Back then, Nathan was an attractive young boy from a wealthy family.

Alma was the prettiest girl in school. She was also talented.

She had plenty of suitors in school, but she only had her eyes on the handsome and rich Nathan.

The young Alma had boldly professed her love for Nathan, but he rejected her firmly.

Feeling humiliated, Alma's love turned to hatred.

Later, she excelled in her studies and got accepted to the top business school.

At the same time, she heard Nathan was kicked out of his family and was now living on the streets.

“Ms. Thrane, you confessed your feelings to him back then?”

“Look, he's wearing cheap clothes and smoking

Marlboro. I bet he's a poor chap.”

“Yes. Ms. Thrane, you graduated from the top business school. Your annual income is over a million. He doesn't deserve someone like you.”

“He spared you back then. Otherwise, you would suffer with him now.”

Alma chuckled politely and told Nathan. “I earn around one hundred thousand monthly, so my annual salary is just over one million. What I earn now is nothing compared to your inheritance, which you've lost now. But look at you now. Ha!”

She didn't finish her sentence, but the onlookers knew she was insinuating Nathan wasn't even worthy of licking her shoes clean.

Nathan was calm, but Kylie was about to explode with rage.

When she stepped forward, about to reprimand

Alma, Nathan pulled on her arm to stop her.

Flashing a warm smile, Nathan agreed. “Yes, you're doing well now.”
