Chapter 453 Ms.


    Rhodes , youre amazing ! I cant believe you actually got the money back , Eunice eximed with admiration .


    Lauren shook her head and replied , I didnt get the money back Dr .


    Lloyd did .


    Eunices excitement froze as she looked at Andrew in disbelief , who was casually sipping tea on the couch .


    She wondered how this man , whom Tiana had always looked down upon , had not only be Rhodes Corporations fifth director in minutes but had also helped recover 60 million dors that seemed impossible to retrieve .


    Just as doubt began creeping into Eunices mind , she quickly dismissed it .


    Tiana was someone she unconditionally admired and respected if Tiana said Andrew was just a gold digger , then it must be true .


    Ms.


    Rhodes , congrattions ! Thepany really needs you ! Ms.


    Rhodes , we old timers arent worth a fraction of your talent .


    Solving this buge problem right after your return we must report this to the board and get you recognized ! Ms.


    Rhodes , we all noticed what youve done for thepany .


    We cant wait for you to be our CEO and lead us again ! Marcus led a group of employees who were not aligned with Michael to offer their congrattions .


    Everyone in thepany knew this was a power struggle between the CEO and the Vice CEO , or more bluntly , internal friction between Rhodes Corporation family members .


    Michael envied Laurens talent and influence , while Lauren had always looked down on her cousin .


    Now , employees of Rhodes Corporation were faced with a delicate choice .


    For the sake of their future careers and financial prospects , they had to decide whether to side with Michael or show loyalty to Lauren a decision that required careful calction .


    After dealing with a stream of well wishers , Lauren dismissed thest of them and mmed her office door shut .


    Locking it firmly , she strolled over to the couch .


    Andrew smiled and said , It looks like you have quite a few supporters in yourpany .


    Most are truly on my side , but some are Michaels spies .


    I dont have the patience to deal with them , Lauren replied with a hint of annoyance .


    Andrew frowned .


    Hearing you say that , I cant help but wonder why does the Rhode familys leadership allow this infighting ? Wouldnt it be better for everyone if you and Michael worked together to grow the corporation ? Lauren rolled her eyes .


    If only everyone thought like you .


    The truth is , my rivalry with Michael reflects a deeper battle among the familys higher ups .


    Andrew shook his head .


    Big family politics sounds exhausting .


    Chapter 45 Laurens lips curled into a yful smile .


    They might be , but Im not .


    Im carefree , Dr.


    Lloyd , because all I care about is you .


    She then gracefully settled herself on Andrewsp , wrapping her arms around his neck as her perfume wafted toward him .


    Andrew froze , his body stiffening .


    Was she really nning on starting an office romance ? Andrew began awkwardly , Ms.


    Rhodes , this is your office .


    Dont you think this might be … inappropriate ? Lauren leaned in until their faces were nearly touching and whispered , Dont worry , I locked the door .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , why are you trembling ? Is this your first time ? Andrew coughed , trying to appearposed .


    Straightening up , he forced a confident tone .


    Im no rookie .


    Ms.


    Rhodes , on the other hand , youre giving off major beginner vibes .
