Salute To The General
Chapter 2740

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!

He glanced at the number on Carlos' bidding paddle and said, "Haha! What a coincidence! My seat is right next to yours! Let's go sit down and continue our conversation!"

Carlos flashed Nathan a helpless look in response.

"Come on, let's go get seated," Nathan said calmly.

The group then made their way over and sat down according to the numbers on their bidding paddles. After sitting down next to Carlos, Donovan glanced at Ava, who was two seats away from him. He asked, "Ms. Quinn, would you like something to drink? I can have someone bring it to you!"

As Donovan had only asked Ava and ignored the others, it became obvious that he was into her. However, Ava simply sat up straight in her chair and kept her gaze fixated on the stage ahead.

She didn't even bother to look at him, let alone respond to his question.

That was the second time Donovan's advances had been rejected.

"I'm a little thirsty, Hubby!" Penny whispered.

Nathan nodded at her and said, "Go fetch us a few bottles of water, Av."

"Yes, Sir!" Ava replied and walked off swiftly.

Donovan felt both turned on and angry as he stared at Ava from behind.

Why is she so rude to me but treats Nathan with so much respect?Also, how dare he order a woman I have taken a liking to around? I bet the only reason Ava takes orders from him is that he is her boss and comes from a wealthy family! Looks like I'll have to assert my dominance in order to impress her and humiliate Nathan!

Donovan shot Nathan a hostile glare at the thought of that.

He was so focused on his plan to crush Nathan and impress Ava that he didn't notice Carlos staring at him from the side.

Carlos had noticed something off about how Donovan was looking at Nathan.

Oh, Mr. Leatham... You have no idea who

you're messing with here. I hope you don't do anything stupid or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!
