Salute To The General

Chapter 2349



The arrival of Nathan's entourage across the threshold prompted a chorus of greeting from a well-trained, attractive group of eight waiters. "Welcome," they echoed with a bow.

At the same time, a pretty girl with short hair and a document pouch in her hand broke free of her group of other well-dressed girls to make her way

over.

“Good day, gentlemen,” she announced with a smile. “My name is Lillie, and I will be your hostess today. Is there anything you might need help with?"

Hostess? What exactly would she be doing?

Colin leaned over to whisper the answer to Nathan's unspoken query. "These hostesses provide a wide array of services. They are tasked with recommending amenities to visitors, changing chips, or even accompanying them at meals."

Nathan began to have a rough idea as he turned his attention to Lillie. "Are you in charge of customer service?" "That's right, sir." She gazed at Nathan's handsome features which exuded a regality that was uncommon amongst the men who usually frequented the casino. She felt her heart twinge with desire. “If you have any other needs, I am sure I can find a way to satisfy them,” she added, her cheeks glowing.

The corners of Colin's lips twitched. He was well aware that most hostesses were not willing to satisfy the guests' sexual needs. However, it would be a different story if they came across customers who spent lavishly or charming and handsome men.

He could not believe his eyes when he saw the hostess hinting at her interest in Nathan.

Nathan, on the other hand, appeared not to have grasped the hint. "You're telling me that you can get anything done for me?"

Lillie toyed with a strand of hair. "I've been working at this establishment for three years. I can assure you that I am very familiar with what goes on here. I am sure I have the expertise to leave you satisfied."

Nathan nodded. "Very good. You will serve me today."

Lillie beamed. "Of course, sir. My pleasure. How shall I address you?" "You can call me Mr. Cross." "Our boss, Mr. Jon, is a Mr. Cross as well. You two shared the same surname! By the way, how can I be of help, Mr. Cross? Would you like me to exchange some chips for you or to join you for a meal?"

Nathan shook his head. "None of those. I would like you to lead me to your employer, Mr. Joh Cross."

Lillie was taken aback. "A-Are you a friend of his?" she asked uncertainly.

Nathan merely smiled mysteriously. "No."

"Oh, you must be here to talk business with him. I'm afraid I'm not the right person for this. May I suggest speaking to the supervisor of our-" "There's no need to trouble another staff while I have your kind assistance," Nathan interrupted calmly. "I'm sure you're able to handle the task well."

Lillie began to sense that something had gone awry. Could these people be here to cause trouble?
