Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 679

Penny smiled awkwardly, "Of course I want to. But there are a lot of prominent figures exerting their influence in Northania, so it's really hard for us to establish ourselves when we don't have solid footing there."

Jared latched onto that opportunity and suggested, "I know a wealthy and powerful man from Northania, and if you're willing to be his business partner, I guarantee that the Cross Group's product can make their entrance into Northania without any hassle."

Penny exclaimed, "Really?"

Jared nodded. "Really. To express my sincerity, I'm willing to introduce you to him. Are you willing to meet up with him?"

Penny nodded. "Of course I am. When should we meet?”

Jared grinned. "Today, because incidentally, he arrived at Channing recently. Is it alright if I arranged your meeting to be at three p.m. in the Prince hotel?"

Penny hesitated for a little while before agreeing.

A smug look flashed across Jared's face once Penny agreed. Soon, he stood up and bid his farewell.

Not long after Jared left, Nathan brought some of Penny's favorite desserts to her.

He smiled. 'Td passed by Blissful Promises Confectionery just now, so I'd bought some tarts for you.”

Penny stared at him quizzically before saying, "We don't usually pass by Blissful Promises Confectionery when we go to work. You probably went there just to buy this for me, right?”

Nathan smiled in response.

Penny felt a warmth surging in her heart. Nathan has always shown me his love in subtle ways. He's never clamored for credit or bragged about it as well.

She finished her snacks joyfully and told Nathan about Jared.

Nathan grinned. "We'd caused a few dozens of Jared's shops to shut down, and now he's apologizing to us and introducing a powerful business partner just for us to expand our business to Northania? Do you think he's that kind?”

Penny gaped in surprise as her eyes wavered uncertainly. "Do you think he's trying to scam us somehow? If so, I'll just cancel tomorrow's meeting!"

Nathan grinned and explained, "Since you've already agreed to meet him, it wouldn't be appropriate if you'd just canceled the meeting abruptly. Maybe I'm wrong and Jared really is sincere in his apology and he really wants us to introduce a business partner to us! How about I go with you to the meeting later? That way we can be sure that they're not trying to trick us."
