My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1820

Kaden looked at the youngest person in the group and praised, "You haven't disgraced your great-grandfather!"

Drew was General Landon's great-grandson. The Landon family had been in the military for generations and were of a noble lineage, something Kaden could not help but admire.

The Copper family had bid farewell to their military legacy during Yorick's generation. Kaden had always hoped for Yorick to follow in his footsteps and enter politics. However, he kept his wish a secret as he believed the youths should choose their own paths.

He trusted that Nash would mentor an excellent disciple.

Drew, ever the gentleman, said, "You're too kind, Mr. Copper. I've prepared some tea. Please allow me to escort you to the lounge for a short rest."

Kaden smiled and nodded, then walked toward the lounge while surrounded by people. Shortly after they left, the female secretary led Nash and his companions out of the elevator.

She guided them to the governor's office and said indifferently, "Wait here. You're not allowed to leave until the governor arrives, nor are you allowed to sit."

"Is this how the governor treats his guests?" Nash remarked sarcastically.

The secretary was momentarily stunned. She then looked at Nash as if he were an idiot and questioned, "Are you genuinely clueless or just pretending to be daft? Do you really think the governor invited you here as guests?"

Seeing that Nash was still young and seemingly not very bright, the female secretary surmised that he was likely the country bumpkin who had stood up for the Mare family’s daughter.

The disdain on her face was thick as she said, "Do you really think you're allowed to do as you please just because you have a few wealthy relatives? This is Capiton. Any random person you meet on the street here isn't someone you can afford to offend!"

"You're from the Petro family, aren't you?" Nash suddenly asked.

He found it hard to believe that someone with such poor manners could become secretary to the governor of Capiton without having some kind of special connection. It was likely that there was nepotism at play and that she was a member of the Petro family, thus landing her this job.

The female secretary's eyebrows shot up. "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not from the Petro family. I am a Stone! Reagon Stone!" she exclaimed, even holding up her ID as proof.

Nash smiled. "Your reaction says it all. The Petro family used to favor boys over girls. They probably sent away quite a few daughters. You must be one of them."

Reagon's pupils contracted slightly. "You bastard! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off your face!"

Nash smiled but said nothing. He nonchalantly sat on the nearby couch and closed his eyes to rest.
