Salute To The General

Chapter 1231 Nathan Is A Nobody

Once Nathan hung up on the call, Frida, who was both their bodyguards and driver, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith, where should we head to now?"

Before giving Frida instructions, Nathan asked Penny, "My friends in the army are holding a banquet in the guesthouse to celebrate my birthday. Do you want to come along with me?"

However, Penny shook her head. "It's okay. I don't think I should be there because it's a gathering with your friends in the army. Since your friends will probably smoke and drink a lot during the banquet, I'm afraid they might be embarrassed if I'm present. You guys will have more fun if I'm not there."

Nathan was somehow amused by her guess. Nevertheless, he agreed with her logic to a certain extent; many of the commanding officers did indeed love smoking and drinking very much.

Most probably, the banquet wouldn't be an upper-class party because soldiers would indulge themselves in any feast.

Furthermore, since they wouldn't bring along their partners, Penny might be bored if she attended it.

As such, Nathan nodded in response and said, "Alright. Frida, drive me to the City Guesthouse first. You may head home with Madam Cross later."

Without hesitation, Frida replied, "Understood!"
