Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 221

Kylie Tonkins fired both the manager, Kennedy Chamberlain, and the salesperson, Leah Holden, but she didn't touch any of the other employees.

She also promised that if everyone did their jobs well, they would get a ten percent increment the following month.

The employees of Perpetual Love all broke out into cheers and applauded and welcomed their new boss with open arms.

Kylie looked at Nathan Cross curiously. Even though Nathan allowed her to sign the contract, she was the boss in name only or rather an acting boss.

After all, Nathan had spent five hundred million to purchase the jewelry store. Why would he just give it away so easily?

But what she didn't know was, Nathan truly didn't care too much about the jewelry store.

Nathan instructed Colin and the rest to return, while he and Kylie retrieved the beautifully wrapped pink diamond necklace, 'Evermore', then drove home in the old Polo.

On the way, Kylie couldn't help but ask Nathan, "Why do you have so much money when you're not working?”

Nathan gave a small smile. "I said I wasn't working but I have never said that I didn't have money."

This took Kylie back by surprise, but she realized what Nathan said was indeed true. Being unemployed and having money weren't two contradicting notions.

Kylie was curious. "As far as I know, Perpetual Love is the money maker for the Chamberlains and is worth well over eight hundred million. How were you able to purchase the jewelry store from River Chamberlain at only five hundred million and in under ten minutes no less?”

"Because I gave him an offer he couldn't refuse," answered Nathan.

Kylie rolled her eyes. Nathan's answers were often so ambiguous, they barely answered anything at all.

But she also realized that Nathan had the tendency to hide his true capabilities.

He might seem like an unemployed bum, but in truth, he was like an iceberg waiting to be explored.

She was growing more and more suspicious of Nathan. She had a strong feeling that he was the man who saved her at the Indigo Club the day before.
