The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 788 Not Your Business



Nathan had been waiting for nearly two hours. The woman he was supposed to meet kept saying she was on her way but then claimed something came up. In short, she stood him up. Feeling dejected, Nathan spotted Brittany and buzzed over to her like a fly to a rotten egg.

Nathan was brimming with confidence, thinking his boastful stories had impressed Brittany. But then his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID as Perry, Nathan quickly excused himself and scampered to a quieter spot to answer.

"Perry, what can I do for you, sir?" Nathan asked eagerly.

"Where are you? Get back to the office immediately. I need you to drive me somewhere tonight," Perry commanded.

"Yes, sir! I'll be right there!" Nathan replied promptly. Though it was after hours, as a driver, he had to be available whenever his boss called. For some, being a driver meant being at the beck and call of the boss, like a loyal dog.

Once the call ended, Nathan hurried back to Brittany.

"Brittany, my company's chairman needs me. As the general manager, I'm indispensable. I have to handle all the major and minor affairs of the company. I can't chat anymore, but I'll see you at the reunion next week. Make sure you come!"

"We'll see," Brittany replied noncommittally.
