Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2294

The next day, Nathan boarded a public airline with Penny, Colin, and Ava to secretly head to Jetroina. They arrived at the Jazona Airport in the evening.

When Nathan and Penny exited the airport, Colin and Ava followed them but kept a distance. Apart from protecting Nathan and Penny, Colin and Ava wished to give them some personal space.

Suddenly, a nicely dressed man came up to Nathan and Penny. He was seemingly star-struck and talking in a foreign language while looking at

Penny.

As such, Nathan and Penny were bewildered.

Noticing that they didn't understand him, the man talked in the language of Eurasia. “Are you from Eurasia?”

Nathan replied, “Yes, we are. How can we help you?”

Ignoring Nathan, the man handed over a card to Penny and said smilingly, “Hi, pretty lady. I'm also Eurasian, but I'm currently running an entertainment company in Jetroina. I own the company, and I'm also a talent agent.

“You've got the looks and a figure that most women would die for. I wonder if you're interested in becoming a star? If you're willing to join our company, I promise to make you an international superstar.”

After a while, Penny responded, “I'm so sorry. I'm not interested in your offer. However, I do think you look familiar...”

As Penny spoke, she looked at the name written on the card. The next moment, she gasped, “You're Layton Gates. Your house is just next to mine when we were young!”

Layton was startled upon hearing it.

Nonetheless, he soon recognized Penny and replied in surprise, “You're Penny Smith!”

Penny replied with a smile, “Yes, what a coincidence. We used to be neighbors when we were young. However, you went overseas with your family before finishing your elementary education. That's why we haven't met for about twenty years. I never expected to bump into you here.”

After checking Penny out for a moment, Layton said with a grin across his face, “This is indeed a coincidence! Perhaps fate has allowed us to meet again!”

Somehow, Penny could feel that Layton was casting weird glances at her. Besides, she could tell that he was hinting at something. The next moment, she grabbed Nathan's hand and said, “I forgot to introduce you to my husband, Nathan Cross. Hubby, this is Layton Gates, my neighbor when I was young.”

Nathan nodded slightly upon hearing it.

The delight on Layton’s face faded away as soon as he heard that Penny was married.

However, Layton wasn't going to give up easily.

After all, he could still sabotage their relationship even though Penny was married.

It would be much more fun to seduce someone's wife!

Furthermore, his so-called entertainment company was only producing short films thus far.

If Penny became the actress under his company, he thought she could potentially become his cash cow.

After the thought flashed through his mind, Layton purposely scrutinized Nathan from head to toe and asked, “I wonder what Mr. Cross does?”

Nathan glanced at Layton and answered, “I'm military personnel.”

Slightly shocked, Layton replied, “You're a soldier? Can you make money out of it?”

Nevertheless, Nathan responded without hesitation, “I get paid seven thousand every month.”

Despite being the Chief Military Governor, Nathan’s salary was worth that much after deducting the basic insurance.

Layton's eyes were filled with disdain when he said mockingly, “Oh, how sad! I mean, I can't even pay for my dinner with a mere seven thousand!
