Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The adjutants in the room held their breaths and looked nervously at their ruthless commander.

At this time, the commander was in a very bad mood. Whoever made the call had terrible luck!

White Tiger reported softly by Jonathan’s ear, “Master, you once left an alternate communication number with the Sullivans. Madam is calling. I’m not sure if it’s because she learned of what you did before… Would you like to pick it up?”
Without changing his expression, Jonathan looked up and said to everyone, “The meeting is over.”

After speaking, he turned around and entered his private lounge next door while everyone was still gaping in shock.

Jonathan unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform, exposing his Adam’s apple which was bobbing up and down. He said, “Connect the call.”

After a pause, he added a command.

“No projections.”

“Yes!”

Valerie, who was lying on the big soft bed, swayed her feet in boredom.

She silently thought about what she would say.

First, she had to ask that person why he had helped the Sullivans. Of course, this was an important point.

However, a more important factor was that he had nothing to do with Jonathan!

Then, she would have to persuade him to help their family through this crisis. Perhaps she would have to offer some payment, but that was to be expected.
‘As long as his request was not excessive, she would agree to anything.

At this time, the call was connected.

Valerie hurriedly sat upright, only to find that the other person’s projection was not turned on. The screen was pitch black.

She considered the possibility that this guy was more cautious. After all, he worked in the palace.

Valerie said respectfully, “Hello, I’m Valerie Sullivan of the Sullivan Restaurant. Thank you very much for helping us out back then.”

Jonathan looked at the girl on the screen. She was wearing a stylish, appropriate dress with her long hair flowing over her shoulders. She was well-behaved and gentle, and did not seem like the type who would grab a stranger and make him her groom.
He asked White Tiger to turn on the voice changer in advance, and his originally deep voice now had a warm maturity to it.

“It was nothing.”

“It was nothing to you, but it helped our family. May I take the liberty to ask why did you help us then?”

“L.. like the dishes served in the Sullivan Restaurant.”

Valerie understood at once. It turned out he was a fan of the Sullivan Restaurant. Her tone lightened up as well.

“Oh, what a coincidence. Our family happens to be opening a branch in the First District. That’s where you’re based, right? You can eat there often in the future.”
“Yes.”

Although he was not talkative, he liked the dishes of their restaurant very much. This indirectly shrank the gap between the two of them.

The conversation went very smoothly although Valerie was doing most of the talking while the other person only replied with a few words.

After chatting for a while, Valerie got to the point. She said, “Our restaurant may soon encounter some issues in the supply of fruits and vegetables. Could you help us again? Of course, I understand that this request is very abrupt. If it’s too troublesome, we’ll think of another…”
“Sure.”

His voice was warm and gentle, like the reverberation of a cello in one’s heart.

Moreover, he sounded pleased!

Valerie liked good-looking people, as well as people with nice voices. Naturally, she thanked him profusely.

However, before the call ended, she asked carefully, “Sir, how should I address you?”

“Just call me Mr. G.”

“Then… Do you know Commander Jonathan Gunn?”

“No.”

He replied too quickly. Valerie was taken aback. Her pretty eyes widened as she blinked rapidly, looking somewhat suspicious.

Jonathan frowned and added, “I mean, I’m not that close to him..”
