Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 752

Lauren blinked her big, expressive eyes and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Andrew spread his hands and said, "Because I don't think I even went all out."

Lauren's expression froze instantly, thinking that Andrew was truly terrifying.

Watching as the flirty Lauren quickly turned and fled, her graceful silhouette disappearing in the distance, Andrew felt completely misunderstood.

However, he had only spoken the truth. Last night, he had actually held back with Francesca. If he had not, things would have taken a much wilder, more intense turn.

…

Today was the scheduled delivery day for Stephen's shipment. Andrew and Lauren personally went to oversee the product being sent out.

Stephen wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. "Mission accomplished, Mr. Lloyd. Please check if everything meets your expectations."

Andrew clapped his hands and said, "No need. I already looked it over—good work, Mr. Brunner!"

Stephen quickly laughed along. "As long as you're satisfied, Mr. Lloyd, that's all the motivation I need!"

Andrew waved a hand. "Save the flattery for later, Mr. Brunner. There's still a lot more weight on your shoulders."

Stephen's eyelid twitched, his face filled with uncertainty. "Mr. Lloyd, w-what do you mean?"

He had already stretched himself to the limit to complete Andrew's orders, working day and night without rest. Yet, judging by Andrew's tone, there was more coming.
