Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1493

"If you don't want to go, you don't have to," Tiana said coldly.

Natasha clenched her jaw but did not dare snap back at Tiana. Instead, she turned to Andrew with pleading eyes.

Andrew let out a helpless sigh. "Be good. Sit with Jerry. If anything unexpected happens on the road, it's better to have a backup."

Only then did Natasha head to the back, but it was obvious she felt wronged—her eyes were already brimming with tears.

Andrew felt a sudden wave of irritation. Tiana's tone could really be too domineering sometimes.

Besides, Natasha was a woman who lived a hard life, surviving on the edge. Andrew truly admired her, and yes, he liked her too.

This trip had meant a lot to Natasha. She was excited, even happy, because she had finally gotten a chance to be alone with Andrew. However, the moment Tiana gave her that command, all her hopes were crushed.

Natasha was not the kind of woman who cried easily. Her spirit had always been tough. Yet, her heart had softened because of Andrew. So with Tiana's jab, it was not surprising that she ended up on the verge of tears.

"Mrs. Rhodes, Natasha really isn't my servant, and I've never treated her as one. She hasn't climbed into my bed or wanted to join Lauren and the others either. But I hope you'll show her some respect."

Tiana let out another cold laugh. "Andrew, as a man, you're pretty much flawless. But that doesn't mean you don't have weaknesses. For instance, you're too softhearted. Too sentimental.
