Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1766

At that moment, Andrew was sitting with Zachary.

"Ever since I got to Blumedale, I've been slammed with work. Totally forgot to come hang out with you," Andrew said with a smile.

Zachary's rugged face twisted into mock irritation. "Forgot? Please! You've just been out there flexing while leaving me in the dust!"

Andrew waved a hand. "Let's talk business. You said Luna showed up, even pulled a gun? What exactly happened?"

Zachary straightened his posture. "I came all the way to Serenity Villa just to tell you in person. Captain, that psycho woman got her eyes locked on you."

Andrew replied calmly, "She's been annoyed with me from the start. But what's that got to do with you?"

Zachary said, "She showed up at my restaurant and asked me about you. I didn't tell her anything, but when she left, her face looked like a storm was coming."

There was a pause, and Andrew asked, "You kept quiet, and in return, she pulled a gun on you. Am I right?"

Zachary's eyelid twitched, and he laughed dryly. "I mean, technically, yes. But it wasn't serious. No need for you to get pissed."

Andrew grinned. "Back when we were in the organization, you knew what kind of temper I had. I don't mess with people, and I don't take kindly to people messing with me. I've cut ties with my past. Everything's gone. I'm just living life clean now."

He added, "But still, someone always wants to dig up dirt, start trouble, push boundaries. And now we've reached the point where they're pulling guns? What a joke."

Zachary laughed nervously. "Captain, please don't smile like that. It freaks me out."

Andrew snorted. "What are you scared of? I'm not targeting you. Go back. And don't need to worry about Luna. I'll handle it."

Zachary asked carefully, "How are you planning to handle it? Can we not make it a whole thing?"
