Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 385

Hermine replied, "Does that mean you're our president's cousins? Please give me a moment. I'll get in touch with the president immediately."

Having said that, she tried to reach Penny through the phone on the reception desk.

The person who picked up the call was Jenny, Penny's secretary.

Once she figured out the situation, she told Hermine to hold on for a minute while she immediately rushed over to Penny's office.

"Shush!" The moment she entered Penny's office, she saw Nathan. He gestured for her to keep quiet with his index finger as Penny was sleeping soundly with her head resting on the table.

It turned out Penny had fallen asleep because she was exhausted from work.

After he beckoned Jenny to head out of the office, Nathan followed behind her and closed the door. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Without any hesitation, Jenny told Nathan about the situation, "Mr. Cross, there are two men in the lobby. They told Hermine they are from the Smith family of Alberesque. Currently, they're waiting for President Smith to meet them."

The Smith family from Alberesque?

Nathan frowned as he recalled that they didn't bother to show up even when Penny was neglected by her family throughout the years.

However, since Penny's career had achieved groundbreaking success, her relatives started to show up out of nowhere.

With a snort, he instructed, "Tell the receptionist to send them to my office instead if there's an urgent matter. Otherwise, feel free to stay around until Penny is awake!”

Soon, Jenny delivered Nathan's instruction to Hermine. Without any further ado, Hermine repeated Nathan's words verbatim.

Initially, Jacob and Marco thought their relatives in Channing wouldn't dare to defy their words since they were from the Smith family of Alberesque.

To their surprise, Penny turned them away just because she was sleeping, even when they had come all the way to her office. Moreover, they also felt humiliated because Penny's husband ordered them to come to his office.

Marco was a relatively calm person, so he suppressed his emotions.

However, that wasn't the case for Jacob. The man with a hot temper lost his cool immediately.

He slapped Hermine in the face and yelled, "Damn it! We have been courteous to pay them a visit! How dare Penny and her husband defy our words? Get them here immediately! Otherwise, they'll have to bear the consequences of their actions."

Hermine held on to her swollen cheek and ran off as she wailed.

In no time, Nathan showed up with a grim expression on his face.

Logan, the head of the security team, showed up with a dozen guards by his side.
