Chapter 2891 - 81: Forced Into It
Upon seeing the slender, upright, and handsome young man before him, Commander Nelson finally showed a satisfied expression.
Harrison Lucas: "Commander, I... I can’t dance."
Harrison Lucas stumbled awkwardly, what’s going on? She had just arrived and was asked to invite someone to dance.
She had made up her mind just to go through the motions; after all, she was a person of the big shot, how could she, as a man, dance with other women outside so casually? That wouldn’t be loyal to the big shot.
"What’s there to not know? Dancing is just about pulling the girl’s hand and holding her waist, it’s not difficult at all..."
Commander Nelson deliberately lowered his voice and advised, "See that girl over there sitting in the white skirt? She’s Old Connor’s granddaughter, now working as an independent media person. She heard we have a ball here and told her Grandpa she was coming specifically to join, said she wanted to see what the military’s ball looks like now."
Commander Nelson used to teach at the Royal Military Academy, where he taught Strategic Command Courses.
He taught Ben Lucas and naturally also taught Harrison Lucas. The old commander liked Ben Lucas and was very fond of the clever and theoretically solid young Harrison Lucas. Although he spoke casually to both of them, it showed more intimacy.
Old Connor, mentioned by Commander Nelson, is the commander of the A City military zone and has never gotten along well with him, so Commander Nelson is very concerned about this ball event.
Commander Nelson: "It’s said that someone posted some Twitter thread out there, saying our military department takes some unfavored, flawed people to join these matchmaking events. And they claim this is elitism, exploiting military department privileges, solving the single status of soldiers while monopolizing young and pretty girls.
Damn it, what kind of unfavored people are these? Are there any flawed ones in our G City military zone? They’re all promising, strong, stalwart young men, but now some unscrupulous media just write nonsense to grab attention!"
At this point, the old commander was already fuming with rage.
Due to a recent disgrace in the military, some marketing accounts, supposedly new media, were taking military’s normal activities for sensational headlines.
Everyone was aware of these issues, but they didn’t expect some people to get so boring to even criticize the military’s matchmaking tradition that had been maintained for decades.
"Harrison Lucas, go invite Old Connor’s granddaughter to dance. That little girl is doing some new media now; she clearly came to cause trouble. She’s been sitting there for almost half an hour and stubbornly not accepting any dance invitations. Young lady’s eyes are almost growing on top of her head, she’s so arrogant, don’t know who she’s looking down on... You go over and dampen her spirit."
Commander Nelson knew, Old Connor’s granddaughter was cherished by Old Connor something fierce, and this little girl probably had seen too many refined men and couldn’t stand these rough military folks.
But what era is it now, being a soldier and fighting isn’t just about brute force without brainpower.
Like their military zone not only has robust and vigorous young men but also cultured and refined young officers like Harrison Lucas.
In terms of exceptional demeanor and handsome appearance, when their Miss Lucas steps out, she’s no less than those boys from prominent families.
Not to mention, in terms of family birth, Harrison Lucas is originally also a prominent family’s young master.
