Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1767

The next second, Leslie flushed with a mix of shame and rage as she realized Andrew had just played her like a fool. She stomped furiously, shouting, "Open the damn door or I'll break it down myself!"

Right then, the door swung open, and Andrew appeared. He asked, "What brings you two here?"

Andrew rubbed his ear. "Ah, my bad. I thought it was a dog barking outside. Didn't expect it to be you."

Leslie's face twisted in fury. "Did you just call me a dog?"

Andrew shrugged. "I didn't call you anything. You're the one who said it. It has nothing to do with me."

Leslie clenched her jaw, about to explode.

Just then, Luna's icy voice cut through. "That's enough."

She glanced at Andrew, still as cold as ever. "Did you find that funny?"

Andrew shrugged. "Kind of. So, Ms. Phelan, what brings you to my doorstep?"

Luna let out a faint scoff. "Two things. First, like last time, I want you to teach me alchemy. Second, I want to wipe the slate clean between us. From now on, you're with me, and you'll have free rein in all of Blumedale. That's a generous offer, wouldn't you say?"

Andrew shook his head. "Not generous enough."

Luna froze, then gave a cold, mocking laugh. "What else do you want? Greedy much? Even if I wanted to give you more, I doubt you could handle it."

Andrew grinned. "Don't worry. If you're willing to give, I can handle all of it."

Luna's expression turned to visible disgust. "Then what the hell do you want?"

Andrew did not hesitate and replied, "Get on your knees and say you were wrong. Do that, and I'll teach you alchemy."

Luna stood there, stunned. It felt almost as if her ears had betrayed her.

However, Leslie looked completely flabbergasted. She pointed at Andrew and exclaimed, "Are you insane? What kind of lunatic are you?"
