Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2018

At that moment, Nathan uttered flatly, “Didn't you hear what my wife said? Take this dish away immediately.”

The waiter braced himself as he replied, “Yes, yes, yes, I'll take it away now.”

Exactly at that moment, Branson walked over slowly with a glass of wine in his hand.

With a tall and big stature, handsome features, sharp brows, and a hint of connive in his eyes, he looked like a wicked and impetuous gentleman.

“Hi, Ms. Smith. We meet again,” he said with a wry smile.

“Do we know each other?” Penny uttered calmly.

Branson laughed as he replied, “Haha, great wits have short memories, Ms. Smith. We were both named as the top ten model workers in the country last year and received our awards together in Brimmopolis. At that time, I greeted you and invited you for a meal, but you declined.”

Penny frowned upon hearing that. Shortly after, she recalled that when she came to Brimmopolis to attend the National Elite Worker's Appreciation Conference last year and Branson was there indeed.

During that time, Branson did invite her for a meal as well.

However, she had never interacted with any men other than Nathan, let alone having a meal together.

Furthermore, she could tell that Branson was a playboy from the beginning, hence she politely declined his invitation to dine together at that time and left.

However, she didn't expect to run into him here after that.

Branson said with a wry smile, “Haha, I invited Ms. Smith for a meal last year but you didn't take me up on the invitation. I have always regretted that. Therefore, when I noticed Ms. Smith was here too, I was so surprised that I hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare my favorite pan-seared foie gras, and asked the waiter to bring it over for you to try.”

Penny's face turned cold as she spoke indifferently, “I'm sorry, I never fancied eating such stuff since I was a child. Please ask the waiter to take away this dish. Besides, my family is having a meal now, so please go and attend to your matters if there's nothing else here.”

If this was a small country, his father would be the king and that would make him the prince, and Nathan was the only person who had ever dared to speak to him like that.

All the workers at the scene stared at Branson nervously as they were worried that he would go berserk.

However, to everyone's surprise, Branson did not throw a fit, but looked over at Nathan coldly and quipped, “Alright, probably best to let you finish your meal now, and then I'll catch you later.” Having said that, he turned around and leave with a few bodyguards trailing him from behind.

One of the bodyguards couldn't help but ask him softly, “Mr. Fuller, why didn't you teach that brat a lesson on the spot when he had disrespected

Branson replied coldly, “This is our hotel, how can we deface our own property? Besides, it's not good to teach Ms. Smith's husband in front of her, so we'll just find a chance to do that later.”

“Mr. Fuller is wise indeed,” the bodyguards said in unison.
