Patrick Ward!
The governor's office!
The governor!
Larry's face turned pale, and he started sweating nervously.
His hand was shaking as he held the phone close to his ear. "You... You... You are the governor?" His voice was trembling.
That's right, the person on the other side of the phone was indeed Patrick Ward — the governor of the South.
Patrick sneered, "You called me without knowing who I am?"
Larry felt like crying. He had no idea that the person on the phone was the governor. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so rude and impolite.
Larry stared at Nathan with resentment. He blamed Nathan for not telling him earlier that it was the governor's phone
number.
Nathan continued smiling pleasantly and shot Larry an innocent face.
Larry kept apologizing to Patrick Ward while his voice trembled.
Patrick demanded Larry come to his office and ended the call without another word.
Larry was still holding his phone, his face full of despair. It was as if it was the end of the world.
Nathan is a friend of the governor!
Sebastian and Freya looked at Nathan with their ashen faces.
Penny too looked dubiously at Nathan.
Nathan curled her lips into a smile. "Director Hamilton, do you still have any doubt concerning my driver's license? Do you need me to find another person for verification?"
Larry immediately shook his head. This time Nathan had made him call the governor, and he wouldn't doubt that Nathan would make him call the chief if he persisted!
"Well, shall we deal with the traffic dispute now?" Nathan asked with a grin on his face.
"Sure... Sure..." Larry nodded compliantly.
