Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2217

Back at the chairman's office in Cross Group, Nathan was sitting on the chair Penny always sat in. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed Penny's massage.

Penny noticed the exhaustion on his face, and she asked, “Is work taking its toll on you?”

Nathan opened his eyes and smiled. “I just killed an Ariarica commander who was stationed in Jetroina not long ago, and all the western countries made a hoo-ha out of it. They kept protesting through their diplomats and asked the military to punish me. And they're up to no good in the military as well.

“All the bases are getting busy, since they need to handle a lot of matters. A battle might come at anytime, so we have to be prepared for it.

As the Chief Military Governor, that means my job is piling up, so it's tiring me out ”

Ever since that decisive battle against the Davier family, Penny found out that her husband was the elusive Chief Military Governor. She looked at him gently and pecked him on the cheek. "I'm proud of you, hubby,” she said softly.

Nathan smiled. He pulled Penny into his embrace and was about to make out with her, but then, someone suddenly opened the office's door.

The one who came in was none other than Penny's bodyguard—Ava. She forgot to knock since she was in a hurry, but when she came in and saw the couple about to make out, she was stunned.

And then her face turned red. “Um, well, uh... I-I forgot to knock the door. I'll just go out and knock again before I come in.”

She scurried off and closed the door. When she knocked on the door and came in again, Penny had gotten up, but her face was red with embarrassment.

Nathan was feeling awkward as well. Dam.

Why did I forget to lock the door? And Ava, you're getting a bit too reckless lately. You should have knocked before you came in.
