Chapter 369 Donald nodded vigorously , Yes , it was Aspen .


    If she hadnt ndered you , Mr.


    Lloyd , I would never have made that move .


    Andrew waved his hand dismissively .


    Very well I believe you know how to handle the situation moving forward .


    Donalds face turned sinister .


    Rest assured , Mr.


    Lloyd .


    That bitch nearly got me killed .


    She wont get away with this .


    Andrew remarked with a knowing smile , Yet I heard from Mr.


    Thatcher that you wanted to sleep with her , That was just my hormones talking , Mr.


    Lloyd ! Donald quickly eximed .


    Ivee to my senses now I just want to cut all ties with that woman and teach her a lesson .


    After Donalds submissive departure , Lauren smiled .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , Im relieved youre okay .


    I should head home while Fran and the others leave too .


    Ms.


    Rhodes , is everything alright with the Rhodes familytely ? Andrew asked with surprise .


    You seem unusually busy .


    Lauren avoided his gaze , smiling .


    Just some minor matters .


    Ille to see you once things settle down .


    Wait a moment , Ms.


    Rhodes .


    I have something for you , Andrew said , presenting her with the security case containing the Blood Phoenix Cicada .


    Laurens eyes widened in shock .


    She firmly refused it , knowing how precious the item was .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , this is far too valuable .


    I cant ept it , Andrew smiled , Please take it .


    I already gave Fran a Royal Violet Crystal , and when I first acquired this Blood Phoenix Cicada at the auction , you were the first person I thought of .


    Laurens beautiful face flushed red , her heart racing , Dr.


    Lloyd , y you really thought of me first ? Andrew suddenly realized his words had sounded quite intimate andughed awkwardly , I just thought its beauty wouldplement your elegance .


    If you dont want it , I could always give it to someone else .


    Lauren quickly grabbed the case , pouting .


    In that case , Ill ept ! I wouldnt want you giving it to anyone else ! Do you like it ? Andrew asked softly .


    Lauren nced up at him before quickly looking down again , I I love it ! Id cherish anything you gave me , even if it were just a nk piece of paper .


    She hurried out with the case , fleeing from the intensity she had seen in Andrews eyes .


    Andrew felt a twinge of regret at missing out on the lovely sight of her bashful expression .


    Andrew , since everyones okay , should we head back ? Francesca entered , wondering what had transpired between Andrew and Lauren to make her best friends face so flushed .


    You , Mr.


    Aicker , and Ms.


    Santana go ahead , Andrew replied thoughtfully .


    I need to discuss some things with Dn and Natasha .


    Alright then , Francesca said with slight disappointment .


    But Andrew , you should keep your distance from Natasha .
