Salute To The General

Nathan laughed. "Mr. Gammon, since you think of us as friends, there's no need to address me as Chief Cross. Please call me by my name."

"Ah, here's why I called you. You see, amongst all my daughters, Sofie is my youngest. In fact, the two of you met before, though I'm not sure if you still recall the encounter," Gammon explained. Sofie? The name rings a bell. She must be Gammon's favorite daughter. In the past, I met her at the Remdik Palace. "Of course, I remember her. Mr.

Gammon, your daughter's intelligence and wittiness left me with a lasting impression," Nathan said.

"I actually called you to talk about Sofie," Gammon said.

Hence, she chose to continue her studies there." Here, Gammon paused before he continued, "She's planning to go to Channing University. According to her schedule, she should be arriving at Channing Airport today."
