Salute To The General
Chapter 2373

After the incident was resolved, Nathan and Kylie left the hotel.

Once they were in the car, Nathan was about to start the engine when he felt Kylie's admiring gaze.

"What's with that look?" he asked.

"You're so cool, Nathan!" Kylie complimented with a proud smile. "You managed to teach Mr. Kane and Yara a good lesson!"

"This is not the first time I've seen people like them, but they really bring things to a whole new level.

Since he wants to cozy with foreigners and betray his own people, I figured I should just send him abroad and let him see what it's like being barred from coming back to his own country," he replied, putting his hands on the steering wheel. "By the way, you should really stop attending shady events like this. I should ask someone I can trust to replace you a suitor instead."

"I don't want to see anyone! Besides, none of the candidates they've introduced suit my taste. I want someone who's responsible and capable like you."

Nathan was speechless.

He stepped on the pedal and headed toward home, but Kylie suddenly asked him to stop when they passed by an alfresco cafe.

She wanted to grab some coffee before they returned home.

"Seriously, Kylie," Nathan complained.

Despite being unwilling, he still pulled up by the road.

Nathan went to the restroom while Kylie placed their order.

A beautiful woman suddenly came beside Kylie and greeted her while she was waiting in line.

"Hey, Kylie!"

Kylie looked up in confusion and was surprised to see a fashionable young woman. "Ah!" she exclaimed after a pause. "Danielle Zeller!" "Yeah! You still remember me, Kylie. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. I can't believe I bumped into you here!"

"I know right!" Kylie cried out. The two women used to be best friends when they were still studying.

Danielle looked over Kylie's shoulder and asked, "I saw you come in with a handsome young man. Is he your boyfriend?"

Kylie hesitated and told her that Nathan was her cousin-in-law.

Danielle saw through Kylie the moment she hesitated. Chuckling, she teased, "So he's not your boyfriend, huh? I bet you must like him secretly."

Kylie was embarrassed. "No!" she denied.

Danielle maintained her smile. "Based on my experience, he is indeed not a bad catch. He appears gentlemanly and is attractive. The other young men are definitely no match for him. I'll not beat around the bush - I'm interested in him. Since you said he's not your boyfriend and that you're not interested in him, how about you introduce him to me?"

"What?" Kylie blurted out. "You really want to try things out with him?"

"Yeah. He's totally my type, and you don't like him anyway. Is there a problem with me getting his number?"

Kylie raised her brows. "Yeah, there is. He will not like you."

It was not that Kylie did not think Danielle was cut out for it. Danielle was a fetching woman herself and was open-minded and casual. From her appearance, she could get any man she wanted. Too bad for her, Nathan was so dedicated to Penny that she was the only one he loved.

There had been more than one occasion where Kylie had hoped that Nathan could be a little less loyal. Alas, Nathan would never do something like that to Penny.

Danielle was annoyed when Kylie said there was no way Nathan would like her.

With her looks and figure, she was confident in herself.

"Really? You don't think he will like me? What about a bet?"

"A bet on what?"

"Let's see if he and I are meant to be," Danielle replied.

"How does that work?" Kylie asked in return.

Danielle narrowed her eyes at her before ordering a glass of lemon water. "What do you want?" she asked.

"I'll have a cup of latte."

The waiter served their drinks not long after they were seated.

"So, Danielle, what's your bet?" Kylie was getting impatient already.

Danielle lifted her drink and took a sip, leaving a barely noticeable lipstick mark on the glass.

A beguiling smile curved her lips as she put the glass back down. "There are two drinks on the table. This is mine, and the latte is yours. I'll go off somewhere to hide in a bit. When he comes back, ask him which drink he wants. If he chooses my drink, it means we think alike and that we're fated to be together. Then I'll make a move on him. However, if he chooses your latte, I'll leave. What do you think?"
