Chapter 693  Before long , Lauren and the proud , pouty Francesca stepped out from around the corner .


    Both of their faces were flushed pink , and Andrew could not help but wonder what they had been whispering about .


    Francesca cast a shy , lingering nce at Andrew , her eyes shimmering with a soft , embarrassed sparkle .


    Well , N , you be sure to rest up , okay ? Ill visit you again soon , Then , she turned to Andrew , gave a small wave , and said , Andrew , Im heading back to the hospital .


    Bye ! With that , she swished her ponytail and walked off , leaving Andrew to watch her retreating figure .


    He shifted his gaze toward Lauren and asked , What were you two gossiping about back there ? Lauren giggled .


    Oh ? Do you really want to know ? Lean in .


    Andrew bent down slightly , and Lauren cupped her hand beside his ear , whispering , I was telling Fran to go ahead and give herself to you … so you can enjoy yourself .


    Andrews expression froze as ck lines practically formed across his forehead .


    Excuse me , Ms.


    Rhodes ? If anyones supposed to give me anything , shouldnt it be you ? Lauren pouted yfully .


    Well … I cant right now .


    Itsplicated .


    But I already told Fran that if you need anything , shes ready to step in .


    Andrew groaned , rubbing his temple .


    You two really think Im that desperate ? Lauren crossed her arms and smirked .


    Oh really ? If youre not desperate , then why did you already have a wild night with Fran ? Andrews stomach sank .


    He immediately realized that Francesca must have told Lauren everything about what happened at the Aicker residence that night .


    If I told you that nothing actually happened between us , would you believe me ? he asked , spreading his hands in surrender .


    Laurens eyes widened in surprise .


    I trust you wouldnt lie to me , but Fran was so sure you two … you know … did it .


    ML She narrowed her eyes suspiciously .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , youre not nning to just … use her and then walk away , are you ? Andrew let out a long sigh .


    Its not what you think .


    Come on , Ill exin it on the way .


    He opened the car door , and Lauren hopped in .


    They drove toward Glorious Pharmaceuticals , where Stephen had called earlier , warning that someone was causing trouble and asking Andrew toe by and handle it .


    Andrew was unsure who it was this time .


    However , if someone wanted to cause him problems , he was not about to back down .


    Lauren sat there with her jaw hanging open .


    Wait … so youre saying you didnt actually take Fran that night ? You just … used an alternative method ? Her cheeks turned crimson as she held up her index and middle finger in a suggestive gesture .


    Andrews jaw tightened , and his eye twitched slightly .


    What else did you think happened ? So , as I said , nothing really happened between me and Fran .


    Not the way you two imagined .


    Lauren pped her thigh and groaned .


    Andrew , you idiot ! You had the perfect opportunity ! Why didnt you just …  Chapter 693 go for it ? Andrews face twitched again .


    Youre absolutely right .


    I shouldve just thrown caution to the wind and gone all in with Francesca that night , Totally regret it now .


    Lauren burst outughing .


    Youre such a bad liar .


    I know you better than that .


    Youre too much of a gentleman .


    But thisplicates things , she added , growing more serious .


    You didnt sleep with her , but Fran thinks you did .


    What are you going to do ? Andrew shrugged , keeping his eyes on the road .


    Easy .


    Ill just tell her the truth .


    Its not like its a big deal .


    Lauren immediately shook her head .


    No way .


    You cant tell her .


    Andrew frowned .


    Why not ? Whats the big deal ? Lauren gave an exasperatedugh .


    Seriously ? Why else ? That girls already head over heels for you .
