Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 47

Nathan gave her a small smile as he replied, "As you wish, dear."

Penny blushed as a warm feeling rose within her.

Although Nathan was impulsive and easy to anger, he was still quite willing to listen to her.

Turning to the kneeling men, Nathan spoke in a hard tone, "This time, I'll let you off the hook. There better not be a next time, for your sakes."

Immensely relieved, they instantly babbled their thanks before fleeing the place with their tails tucked between their legs.

After they left, a troubled look appeared on Penny's face, as thoughts swirled through her mind. She still did not know what to do about the financial problems that Cross Corporation was facing.

Nathan's smile was comforting as he spoke gently, "Trust me, things will work out. You shouldn't worry so much about it. Someone will come to invest in us sooner

or later."

Rolling her eyes at him, she professed bitterly, "At least one of us is being positive. We've offended Joseph Myers. A lot of companies will not invest in us with respect to him."

"The request for a loan from the bank was rejected too."

"Ugh, if we don't get any funds soon, the company's going to be in deep trouble."

At that moment, the office landline rang and Penny answered the phone. "Hello?"

The voice of the front desk receptionist sounded from the other side of the phone, "President Smith, there's a Samuel here asking to see you.”

Initially surprised at her Uncle Samuel's sudden visit, her face soon fell as she remembered her family being exiled from the Smith family. Her voice was cold as she replied, "I don't want to see him."

Dressed in a black suit, the well-built figure of Samuel strode into Penny's office, with a group of people following along behind him.

Glancing around the office, he finally rested his gaze on Nathan and Penny. There was a slightly mocking tone to his voice as he complimented, "Penny, your new office is pretty nice!"

Penny's face was hard as she asked icily, "What are you doing here?"

Pulling out a chair, Samuel plonked

himself down imperiously while Miles, May and his bodyguards stood behind him with their hands clasped behind their backs.

A sly smile curved onto his lips as he answered, "Why, to discuss business with you of course! To my knowledge, Cross Corporation is in dire need of funds. You're looking for some investors, right?”
