Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1032

After leaving the Aroma Exchange, Andrew got into the car and said, "Drive. I'm tired and just want to rest."

However, Aspen did not start the engine. She had been holding back her curiosity all evening and finally asked, "Was Mr. Fischer really your subordinate?"

Andrew kept his eyes on the window and replied calmly, "Something like that."

Aspen's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected that Andrew was not an ordinary man. She pressed on, "Mr. Fischer called you… General. Andrew, were you some kind of military general before?"

Andrew glanced at her and said, "Why the interrogation? Are you trying to run a background check?"

The Ferrari shot forward with a roar, and Aspen huffed, "Fine, don't tell me. It's not like I'm dying to know anyway."

Andrew said, "The more you know, the more dangerous it gets for you."

Aspen scoffed, "There it is. The mysterious act. You think you're in a movie or something?"

A vein popped on Andrew's forehead. "Aspen, I just complimented your performance. Don't push me, or I'll have to deal with you."

The car suddenly fell silent. Whenever Andrew got serious, Aspen still got a little scared.

Andrew chuckled and said, "That Seth guy looked pretty into you. He even came to me trying to 'negotiate' for you. Think it over. If you're actually into the Haywoods' golden boy, I can sell you to them, no problem."

Aspen's grip on the wheel tightened, and through clenched teeth, she spat out, "No need!"

Andrew glanced over. "So you're saying you don't like Mr. Haywood?"

Aspen snapped, "Like him? Are you trying to gross me out? It's Seth who keeps pestering me. I've rejected him so many times, but the guy's full of himself and just won't give up."

Andrew nodded. "Makes sense. I mean, you've got a few issues—arrogant, dumb—but you're definitely hot. Nice figure, great skin, and most importantly, a pretty face."

He sighed like he genuinely felt bad. "If you really wanted to marry into the Haywoods, I'd give you the green light, so long as they're willing to cough up the cash."
