Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Atlas mistress was overjoyed , showering him with sweet words over the phone .

Thank you , baby ! Ill dress up beautifully for when you come Oh , Ive bought several sets of sexy lingerie -come rip them off me soon ! Atlas laughed happily .

Dont worry , baby .

Once handle these important matters , Ill keep you busy for days .

After hanging up , Atlas felt deeply satisfied .

His empire was rising , with Northern District at its peak , and soon , he would devour both Natashas West End and Dylans South City .

Then , he would rule Jayrodales underworld as its sole king , crushing Marvin , the Wellers , and Rhodes beneath his feet .

Meanwhile , in Andrews office at Jayrodale General Hospital , Francesca walked in to find Andrew in a sharp suit .

Do you have a meeting or event ? she asked with a smile behind her hand , admiring his tall , elegant figure .

Neither just attending à gala , Andrew replied with a smile .

Francescas eyebrows furrowed with concern .

Are you going to a gala ? Does Lauren know ? Ms.

Rhodes doesnt know , but why do you ask ? Andrew responded , surprised .

Are you really clueless or just pretending ? Francesca pouted .

Youre Laurens man now .

Is it appropriate to go to a gala without her knowing ? Come on , Dr.

Aicker , Andrew said exasperatedly .

Theres nothing between Ms.

Rhodes and me dont play matchmaker .

Besides , Im going for business , not what you think .

Francescas face brightened .

Oh , I guess I overthought it .

Youre still trustworthy , after all .

She stepped closer to fix his tie , her subtle perfume reaching his nose as their faces drew near .

Andrew coughed and stepped back .

All set ? Francesca smiled and complimented him , Yes , and honestly , youre quite handsome .

Much more masculine and attractive than those so called Jayrodale young masters like Harvey and Michael .
