Salute To The General

Chapter 2368



Just as Colin left to carry out his assignment, Nathan spotted Kylie peeping in his direction.

"What do you think you're doing, Kylie?"

She came out, smiling cheekily. "Nathan, are you free tonight?" she asked, darting a playful gaze around.

"I don't have anything important. What's the matter?"

"I have to attend a gathering tonight. Do you think you could accompany me?" she asked.

"What gathering is it? Don't tell me it's another matchmaking event."

Kylie rolled her eyes. "Come on. It's just a reunion with my friends. What are you even thinking?"

A smile broke out on Nathan's face. "I'm just worried you're not getting hitched given your age, but anyway, it's your reunion. Why are you asking me to go with you? Besides, have you forgotten what happened last time you went to a gathering? You got drunk and nearly had something bad happen to you!"

"I promise it's different this time!" Kylie tried changing his mind. "It's a really important event, Nathan. Our school's vice-principal, Mr. Kane, is the host this time. He invited the most successful alumni to meet up, so it'll be a good time to get to know other people and establish some connections. He even called me himself. It's not like I could have turned him down!"

"You said your school's vice-principal organized it. This is more reason for me not to go. I'm just an outsider."

"But we're family. Everyone goes with their family members," Kylie insisted.
