Chapter 2892 - 82: Harrison Lucas, the Straight-Laced Man
Commander Nelson finished speaking and didn’t give Harrison Lucas a chance, pushing her forward with a firm hand.
Harrison was caught off guard, and before she realized it, she had been pushed in front of Miss Connor.
"Ahem..." Since it was a military order, Harrison could only loosen her collar, deliberately ignoring the intense gaze from behind, and lightly coughed to adjust her mindset.
Sitting on the sofa, Jennifer Connor was staring idly at her champagne glass when she heard the light cough and raised an eyebrow, looking up.
She thought, who could it be this time, coming over to bother her?
Today, at this arranged meeting, Jennifer hadn’t seen a single military officer who caught her eye.
No wonder the new media outside recently started depicting the military’s social events in such an unflattering light.
Initially, she thought these media reports were all fabricated, but because of her grandfather’s good relationship with Commander Nelson, Jennifer specifically applied to attend this arranged meeting to investigate the reality and write a report. Not to show favoritism, but at least to reflect the truth.
Who would have thought, even after nearly a dozen military officers asked her to dance, she didn’t take a fancy to any of them.
Eventually, she lost interest in even looking up when someone approached.
Actually, it wasn’t that Jennifer had too high of standards or that the military men weren’t handsome; it was simply her personal aesthetic causing this situation.
Jennifer, although born into a military family, came from a line where every man was gallant and heroic, and her grandfather’s side was a family rich in scholastic tradition.
Growing up in such a privileged environment, the men around her were either handsome or gentle and courteous. The strong, young soldiers from the G City Military Zone at this social event simply weren’t to Jennifer’s taste.
But now, when Jennifer looked up and saw the young military officer standing before her, with black short hair, eyes that were cold yet held a hint of warmth, and handsome, sharp facial features, her face, which had been disinterested all along, showed a trace of surprise and astonishment.
Her heart was uncontrollably trembling with nervousness in her chest.
"You..." Jennifer’s eyes sparkled, and she opened them wide.
The young man before her was so handsome and cool, with a subtle, comfortable yet somewhat distant aura about him. He looked different from the usual military officers.
Unlike others who were tall and imposing, muscles too intimidatingly strong, he exuded an indescribable gentleness.
Even though his gaze was calm and somewhat cold, it still made Jennifer’s heart race wildly.
"Hello, my name is Harrison Lucas, I’m Major General Lucas’s adjutant." Harrison noticed the slight surprise in Jennifer’s eyes as she looked at him, guessing that his abrupt appearance had startled her.
By right, Harrison should say something to reassure her.
But she sincerely had no extra interest in Miss Connor and didn’t wish for the other party to fancy her; it was merely a task forced upon her by Commander Nelson.
So Harrison didn’t bother to explain or make a special effort to win her favor, instead straightforwardly asking in a somewhat cold voice, "Lady, may I have the honor of asking you for a dance?"
Lady?!
Jennifer’s brows furrowed involuntarily. She had just thought the other party’s name sounded very pleasant, wanting to ask if the ’Chester’ in Harrison Lucas was spelled ’彻’ or ’澈,’ and then she heard him address her as ’Lady.’
