Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Dylan was caught off guard by Francescas question .

Then , he chuckled .

Ms.

Aicker , I think youve got it wrong .

While Mr.

Yates has something to do with my respect for Mr.

Lloyd , its not the main reason .

So , youre not doing this just to please Mr.

Yates ? Francesca pressed , still doubtful .

Dylan scoffed .

I respect Mr.

Yates , but I wouldnt grovel before somebody for his sake .

Anyway , its not just me who respects Mr.

Lloyd .

Even Mr.

Yates himself holds him in the highest regard .

I cant say much more .

All Ill say is , Ms.

Aicker , its best not to dig too deeply into Mr.

Lloyds business .

The cautious look on Dylans face sent Francescas mind reeling .

The fact that even Marvin , the wealthiest man in Jayrodale , someone with enough influence to command the city , respected Andrew was unbelievable .

If she had heard this from anyone else , she would have dismissed it as pure exaggeration .

Yet , the person who said this was the crime lord of South City , an existence that even the Aickers feared .

Andrew , have I really misjudged you ? Francesca whispered to herself , her heart pounding as she recalled Laurens unwavering faith in Andrew .

At the club entrance , Lauren playfully threatened Francesca before climbing into her luxury car .

Andrew turned from the window , his deep eyes studying her with amusement .

Why are you suddenly so interested in a nobody like me ? Oh , just making conversation .

Francesca quickly backpedaled .

Coming from the prestigious Aicker medical family , if I were interested in someone , it would be someone like Harvey .

+25 BONUS Chapter 82 Andrew shrugged .

True , Harvey is Jayrodales most eligible bachelor .

How could a small- time doctor like me compare ? Also , I was just joking about Mr.

Yates earlier .

Someone like me couldnt possibly have any connection with him .

Francesca let out a small snort , thinking to herself , Yeah , right ! Like Id believe that .
