Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

The next day, Jeremiah left Skyland early again.

Every day in Betrico was so jam-packed for him that he wished he could extend the hours. When he wasn’t spending time with Yvette, he was handling various military tasks. In a week, he would be responsible for the security throughout the Yhaullan Prime Minister’s visit to the country.

Even if he didn’t like them, when visiting a great nation, they were still guests. A lot of coordination needed to be prepared properly.

The First Military District under Jeremiah’s command was classified as top secret. Even reaching the outskirts required rigorous checks.

Emmett observed as a few people came into the conference room, his eyes settling on the man in the front row.

He was a bit surprised, wondering, “Why has Clifford come here personally?”

Emmett approached with respect. “Mr. Clifford Chavez. deputy commander Tim.”

Besides the two of them, some officials also came along. Thanks to Clifford’s influence, they got access to the First Military District. Otherwise, it would have been difficult given their ranks.

Clifford wore a black suit that looked quite plain.

But in reality, all his clothes were custom-made by a fashion company owned by Aurora, impossible to find anywhere else.

Since his job required him to face international media daily, his attire represented national dignity, so he paid close attention to it.

Tim was better off in military uniform, though the stars on his shoulders were hard to overlook.

Clifford gave a slight nod. He sized up Emmett and frowned, “Why do you look so thin? Isn’t Jeremiah feeding you?” Tim and a few others behind him twitched their mouths, awkwardly turning their heads. They thought, ‘Only Clifford dare to say something like that. After all, he’s Jeremiah’s father’

Emmett explained seriously to Clifford, “No. Mr. Jeremiah Chavez always tells me to eat more. I eat quite a lot.”

Clifford snorted without saying anything Jeremiah’s temper was terrible, yet his subordinates were extremely loyal to him.
