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.
