Chapter 40 After leaving Laurens office , Andrew did not head to the nearest restroom .


    Instead , he went straight to a different section of the building .


    To be exact , it was where Michaels office was located .


    He had noticed it earlier during his visit and slipped quietly into the only bathroom in that area .


    As soon as Andrew entered , he heard Michael on the phone , clearly panicking .


    Remember , no matter what Lauren does , act normal .


    That damn girl is getting suspicious , and if she finds out youre behind this , Im dead too ! Andrew smirked , his suspicions about Michael confirmed .


    Soon , Michael grew agitated .


    What are you afraid of , you idiot ? Im covering for you here .


    As long as Lauren cant find proof , she cant do anything , even if she suspects you ! Michael added , We shouldnt contact each other for a while .


    And watch out for that pretty boy hanging around Lauren hes sharper than he looks .


    Damn him ! If he hadnt helped Lauren , we wouldnt be in this mess ! As Michael hung up and started making bathroom noises , Andrew suppressed augh at how long it was taking him .


    He could tell Michaels kidneys probably had issues .


    Suddenly , Andrew flushed the toilet , startling Michael badly .


    His pale turned pale as he shouted , W Whos there ? Hardly anyone used this bathroom , and the fact someone was flushing now probably meant they had overheard him .


    The door opened , and Andrew strolled out leisurely .


    Oh , Mr.


    Rhodes ! What a coincidence ! What the hell are you doing here ? Michael demanded , seeing Andrews knowing smile .


    Andrew asked innocently , Why shouldnt I be here ? You know what they say about bonding with the boss in the bathroom ! By the way , that was quite a performance you put on .


    Michaels face darkened as realization hit .


    So you heard everything I said ? Its hard not to .


    You were pretty loud , after all , Andrew replied nonchntly .


    1 Michael cursed internally but quickly satd , If youre smart , youll forget every word of it .


    Otherwise , you wont like how this ends .


    Andrew maintained his casual demeanor .


    Mr.


    Rhodes , are you threatening or trying to bribe me ? You sound like youre nning to silence me permanently .


    That makes me nervous , and nervous people tend to do unpredictable things like telling Ms.


    Rhodes about your little schemes ! Shut up ! Michael snapped , wishing he could strangle Andrew right there .


    Getting anxious ? Andrew smirked .


    1/2 Chapter 40 435 DONUS Michael gritted his teeth .


    1.5 million dors to keep your mouth shut about this .


    1.5 million ? Thats insulting ! Andrew scoffed .


    Michaels face twisted , and he sneered .


    Arent you a greedy one ? Then again , I shouldnt be surprised since youre bold enough to freeload off Lauren .


    All right , 7.5 million then .


    Thats my limit , and its enough for you to live it up with any woman you want .


    Andrew shook his head .


    Thats nowhere near close enough .


    Michael snarled , Dont push it ! Im being generous here .


    Some money isnt worth dying for .


    Andrew nodded thoughtfully .


    Youre absolutely right , Mr.


    Rhodes .


    Some money isnt worth the risk .


    Thats why I dont want 7.5 million I want 15 million dors ! Chapter 41
