Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Mr.

Lloyd , I assure you this matter will be resolved satisfactorily , Mark declared earnestly .

His deferential tone stunned everyone , including Christina .

She could not believe the mayors unusually respectful attitude toward Andrew .

Andrew remained unfazed .

Mr.

Thatcher , youd better give me an explanation for this .

If not , breaking his hand will be the least of my actions , Mark inwardly cursed Nelsons stupidity .

Of all the people to provoke , this fool had to pick someone even he himself needed to treat with respect .

Nelson , a mere branch manager , clearly had a death wish .

Marks frustration boiled over .

He glared at Nelson and snapped , Mr.

OConnor , step forward and explain yourself .

If Mr.

Lloyd isnt satisfied with your explanation , I wont be able to protect you .

Nelsons face paled , and he protested in disbelief .

Mr.

Thatcher , hes the one who attacked me ! Why should I have to explain myself to him ? Mark exploded in anger .

You idiot ! Would Mr.

Lloyd have hit you if you hadnt done something to piss him off ? This is clearly your fault ! Nelsons mind went blank , and his lips quivered as he stammered , M Mr .

Thatcher , are you siding with him against your own employee ? By now , even the most clueless bystanders could see that Mark was firmly on Andrews side .

However , the bigger question was why this young man commanded such respect from the mayor .

Christina spoke up , Mr.

Thatcher , its true that Andrew did strike him , but only after Mr.

Lloyd , are you satisfied with this solution ? Mark asked with a friendly smile , completely ignoring Nelson on the floor .

Christina felt surreal about how quickly everything had been resolved .

Andrew gestured toward her and said , My satisfaction isnt important .

Ms.

Stevens was the victim , so its her opinion that matters .

Yes , Mr.

Thatcher , Im satisfied with this outcome , Christina quickly responded .

Since Nelson had lost his job and was thoroughly humiliated , she felt it would be ungrateful to ask for more .
