Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2561

At the doorway of two rooms stood two beautiful women: Luna and Valerie.

One wore a calm and reserved expression, though her eyes kept stealing glances at him. The other, however, did not bother to hide the hostility burning in her gaze. She glared at Andrew like he was her enemy.

"What are you two doing here?" Andrew felt a headache coming on as he stepped forward to ask.

Luna replied, "I got injured and took time off. I heard Swordheaven Keep has a great view, so I came to check it out."

Valerie sneered, "You didn't say a word before running off from Chetvine. Andrew, I'm your woman now. Where you go, I follow."

Andrew frowned, about to scold this woman for spouting nonsense.

However, Luna had already spoken first, her tone casual yet pointed, "Andrew, come with me for a moment. I've prepared some toiletries in my room so you can rest."

Andrew smiled. "Sure. That sounds good. I'd like to soak my feet and get some proper sleep."

Valerie crossed her arms and huffed. "You're not going. If you want to soak your feet, come to my room. I've got everything you need. I even ran hot water for you, so you can strip down and take a bath in a bit. I'll scrub your back for you, or if you want me to join you, that works too."

Her voice dripped with teasing, and she threw him a suggestive wink.

Andrew shook his head. "Ms. Reyes, I think I'll pass. I might walk in alive, but I probably won't walk out. Ms. Phelan's room sounds safer, though. I've always been curious about what it looks like."

Luna blinked, secretly thrilled. She struggled to keep her calm and aloof facade. "Alright then, come with me."

Valerie, ignored and rejected, flared up immediately, "Andrew, don't you dare go with her. If you step foot in there, I'll burn down the room."

Andrew felt an indescribable irritation rising in his chest. "Valerie, what's your problem? Is harassing me like this fun for you?"

Luna snapped, "Valerie, that's enough. Andrew doesn't want to go to your place, so you're throwing a tantrum. This just makes me think you're pathetic."
