Chapter 284 Legendary

Performer

Inside the office of a military district commander.

Elsa walked in with purpose and gave a sharp salute. "Reporting as ordered, sir."

The commander, a broad-shouldered man, rose from his chair at once. "Our lead aircraft designer is being publicly embarrassed at a social gathering. You are to provide support to her. Go and give a performance at the Russell family matriarch's birthday celebration."

Elsa looked younger than her age. Though she was in her fifties, her smooth skin and upright posture gave her the appearance of someone in her thirties.

"Understood. When should I go?" she said without hesitation.

"Immediate deployment. The performance troupe is already mobilized. You'll get

the briefing in the helicopter," he said, his voice firm and final.

"Yes, sir!" Elsa was about to step out but paused at the door. "What's the designer's name, sir?"

*Brenna Harper," the commander answered.

Elsa stiffened. The woman Ethan had brought home was the country's top aerospace engineer? That was impressive.

But performing for her future daughter-in-law? That didn't sit right with Elsa.

Elsa's face darkened. The order struck her as ridiculous. Had Brenna asked for her by name, or had this come down from senior command?

If Brenna had asked for her to go, then it was nothing short of insolent and a direct challenge to the hierarchy. That kind of disrespect had no place in her home. Her son would not be allowed to marry someone so ill-mannered.

"Sir," Elsa said, trying to keep her voice level. "Could we assign someone else? Brenna is my son's girlfriend. It would be inappropriate for me to go."

The commander's razor-sharp gaze sliced through her protest. "You have your orders already."

Elsa clenched her jaw, gave a final salute, and turned on her heel to leave.
