Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 30 # 26 BONUS Harvey glanced at Andrew, shaking his head with a smile.

I apologize if my words offended you, Andrew.

I simply meant that a lady from a prestigious family like Fran should be accompanied by a gentleman

befitting her status Though not overtly insulting, Harveys words dripped with upper class superiority and dismissiveness toward Andrew.

Andrew grinned.

Im impressed.

Also, didnt you say earlier that youd cover all expenses at Oakridge Club today? Harvey nodded, surprised by the question.

Thats right.

Whatever you want to drink or do, its on me.

Well, since you offered, Id be rude to refuse, Andrew replied, his smile widening.

Harvey chuckled and walked away with Christina, not bothering to respond further.

He had hoped to have some fun with this nobody, but Andrew did not even pique his interest.

Christina was already eager to leave.

Her disappointment in Andrew had turned to disgust.

It seemed he knew he could not compete with Harvey and was shamelessly trying to take advantage of him.

Francesca glared at Andrew.

You should be ashamed of yourself

How can you be so pathetic ? Andrew shrugged

Whats there to be ashamed of? He said I could do whatever I want, and hed foot the bill.

Francesca shook her head, too embarrassed to continue the conversation.

Then, she saw Andrew stand up slowly, stretching

She frowned and asked, What are you doing? Youre not really going to mooch off him, are you? Ignoring her, Andrew waved to Bobby at the next booth.

Bobby stood up with a menacing grin.

youd better lie low like the worthles You got lucky tonight, kid.

Mr.

Wellers gone now, so loser you are.

Andrew looked at him seriously.noveldrama

Youre mistaken.

Youre the one wholl be crawling on all fours tonight

I told you to drink up for courage because Im about to beat the shit out of you.

The crowds jaws dropped.

They thought Andrew must have lost his mind to say such things.

Francesca felt her temples throbbing.

It was not from the alcohol, but the frustration.

She shouted, Andrew, are you insane? Harvey just saved your ass, and now youre picking a fight with

Bobby? She could not understand how Andrews mind worked.

Poor guy, Mr.

Weller must have pushed him over the edge

12 Chapter 30 Yeah, he probably cant face living anymore and wants Bobby to end it quickly! How sad.

Seeing his girl with Mr.

Weller was too much for him.

Hes choosing suicide ! Some even started to pity Andrew, thinking Harveys presence had broken him. Meanwhile, Bobby looked at Andrew with mock sympathy.

You poor bastard.

If you want to die so badly, III make it quick for you! Andrew smiled and suddenly slapped Bobby across the face.

The sound echoed through the room as Bobby, standing tall at 1.9 meters, spun a full 180 degrees before crashing to the floor.

The crowd rubbed their eyes in disbelief, certain they must have imagined it.

On the other hand, Francescas mouth fell open in shock.

Only Bobby, lying on the ground and seeing stars, realized the gravity of the situation.

He internally cursed himself for underestimating Andrew he was much tougher than he looked.
