Salute To The General

Chapter 1476 You Are Not Worthy Of My Salute

Jasper turned his head to face Hayden and asked curiously, "Sir, why are we travelling all the way here to Channing from Mayberry?"

Hayden, a good-looking man with a dignified stature, replied smilingly, "To meet a friend."

Jasper was intrigued. "Is your friend a girl?"

"How did you know?" He blurted in surprise.

Jasper teased, "It's your girlfriend, isn't it?”

"You're talking nonsense!"

Jasper shot him a meaningful smile. "Sir, you can't hide anything from me. If you're not here to meet your girlfriend, why are you all dressed up? You even polished your leather shoes and used cologne today!"

Hayden shot him a resigned smile. "It really is just a friend. I knew her a few years ago when I was the military instructor in her university."

"I understand now. But Sir, you're a handsome and successful man with a military background... You're a lady-killer! It's as easy as snapping your fingers to make her your girlfriend," Jasper said, giving him a playful punch on the arm.

Hayden reminded him, "You can fool around out here, but don't speak out of line in front of her. Don't spoil my chances.”
