Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1639

Chantelle said, "Plus, I'm borrowing your kitchen and using your ingredients. So, Mr. Lloyd, just eat up. No need to thank me or anything!"

Andrew smiled. "Come on, having someone of your stature cook dinner for me is truly an honor!"

The dining table was loaded with about 15 dishes, all specialty cuisine.

Lauren and the other two girls kept nodding as they ate, constantly praising Chantelle's cooking skills. Andrew also gave her a thumbs up, agreeing that she really knew her way around the kitchen.

After dinner, it was already past 8:00 p.m.

Chantelle stood up and said, "I'll wash the dishes and then head home."

Lauren said in surprise, "No way, Ms. Garcia! We can't possibly let you do the dishes!"

Aspen quickly added, "Ms. Garcia, don't worry about it. Just rest for a bit, I'll wash the dishes!"

Francesca nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Just relax, Ms. Garcia. Aspen and I will handle the dishes!"

Chantelle started clearing the plates and insisted, "No way! I've already troubled you all enough today. I must wash these dishes, so don't fight me on this!"

All three girls found this rather strange, wondering what was going on because Chantelle was acting pretty unusual. However, they could not quite put their finger on what exactly seemed off about her behavior.

Andrew could not figure out what was up with Chantelle either. Then again, her insistence on washing dishes might have been due to her perfectionist personality demanding that everything be properly finished.

So, Andrew and his three beauties settled in the living room to watch TV and snack on fruit.

Meanwhile, Chantelle was alone in the kitchen, working away at washing the dishes.

Francesca glanced toward the kitchen and said, "Ms. Garcia has been washing dishes for over half an hour now. How is she still not done?"

Lauren looked thoughtful and replied, "I should check on her."

Andrew stood up instead. "I'll go. You girls keep watching."

Lauren perked up. "Sure! Thanks!"
