Salute To The General

What?

Her response shocked Donovan so much that it left him frozen in place.

Not only did Ava show no interest in him whatsoever, but she also viewed him as a threat and warned him to stay away.

Haha! That's the bodyguard of the president's wife, you idiot! She was raised in the freaking military! A woman like her is not one you can ever hope to sleep with, Donovan! Carlos thought to himself when he saw the awkward look on Donovan's face.

"Av, be nice," Nathan said with a chuckle. He then turned toward Carlos as he continued, "Ambassador Knight, is the auction about to begin?"

Having read between the lines, Carlos understood that Nathan wanted him to get rid of Donovan.

"You're right. The auction is about to begin. We'll be excusing ourselves for now, Mr. Teatham!" he said while ushering them toward their seats.

Despite having been rejected harshly by Ava earlier, Donovan still refused to give up on her.

She's an icy-cold beauty who likes playing hard to get, huh? That's fine by me!

Winning a girl like that over makes it all the more rewarding anyway!
