Unrivalled God of War

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 had straight-up called the city administrator, so it would only be right if Liam Harrison panicked upon hearing his voice.

Besides, the city administrator was exceptionally stern this time round with the warnings and orders to protect Nathan Cross’ interests. If Liam Harrison resisted, he would have lost his job in a second.

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.”

Nathan Cross grinned. “Yes. I’ll try my best.”

Penny Smith rolled her eyes. It would take a lot of effort for him to learn to control his temper.

Suddenly, Penny Smith’s assistant Mandy Lewis knocked on the door. “President Smith, someone’s here to apologize to you. He said that he’s the director of the Channing Bank.”

Turns out, David Nelson got an earful from his superior Liam Harrison the moment he came to wake.

It did not take long for him to realize that he had messed with the wrong person.

If he could not manage to get Nathan Cross and Penny Smith to forgive him, he would lose his job and drag Liam Harrison down with him.

He panicked the moment he realized how much trouble he had gotten himself into. He had rushed to Cross Corporation after patching himself up to look for Nathan Cross and Penny Smith.

Penny Smith was slightly shocked to hear that. She gave Nathan Cross a look before turning to her secretary and saying, “Let him in.”

Soon, David Nelson trudged into the room. His cheek had swollen to twice its size, and a couple of his teeth were missing, making it difficult for him to talk. He had a look of pure terror on his face when he walked into Penny Smith’s office.

Penny Smith gave him a cold look the moment he entered the office. “What are you doing here, Director Nelson?”

David Nelson glanced from the fuming Penny Smith to Nathan Cross, who was flipping through some newspapers calmly. He forced a smile onto his face and said, “Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, I’m here to...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mandy Lewis knocked on the door again. “President Song, there’s another man outside who wants to see you urgently. He says that he’s John Miller of Juno Hotel. Do you want to see him?”

Penny Smith was startled for a moment. Why is he here?

Nathan Cross put down his newspapers and scoffed, “He chose the right time to come. Let him in.”

“Yes, Sir!” Mandy Lewis acknowledged.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Soon, she returned with John Miller behind her, wearing a white Armani suit, with unnecessarily thick makeup.

Mandy Lewis exited the room quietly after bringing John Miller into the room.

As expected, John Miller was there to apologize as well.

He did not know that he was going to have company. What’s this crumpled old man doing here? I’m going to embarrass myself in front of him, he thought, after shooting David Nelson an awkward glance.

David Nelson gave him a puzzled look as well. Does this little jerk not know that I have business with Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith right now? How am I going to ask them for mercy now?
