Chapter 45

Nathan Cross and Penny Smith left Channing Bank and returned to the Cross Corporation office after receiving warm farewells from the staff there.

Once they stepped into Penny Smith’s office, the question that had been bothering her the whole trip there finally found its way out of her mouth, “Who did you even call? Why did President Harrison look so scared after answering it?”

Nathan Cross smiled and explained, “I called my old chief to settle things for me.”

Penny Smith had a moment of realization. However, she still gave him a piece of her mind. “Nathan, your old chief is going to leave Channing after the operation ends. You can’t be relying on him to solve your issues, neither should you throw a fit whenever something happens.”
