Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Andrew , Natashia , and Dylan returned to West End with their respective entourages .

Andrew said , Dylan , I dont think I need to handle the rest of Madam Vostokoffs business .

The chaos he had stirred up was more than enough , and he had no intention of meddling further in the underworld .

Dylan nodded .

Mr.

Lloyd , youve already done far more than enough for us .

Madam Vostokoff and I can handle the rest without troubling you further .

Natasha chuckled .

Darling , you even managed to divide Atlas and Finley for us .

Why not see it through to the end ? How about taking Atlas out entirely for us ? Andrew shook his head without hesitation .

You know my rules , Natasha .

Ive already done .

more than enough , far exceeding the value of that so called medicinal herb you offered me .

Isnt it a bit excessive to keep asking for more ? Dylan quickly agreed .

Madam Vostokoff , Mr.

Lloyd has gone above and beyond for us .

Asking him for anything more wouldnt just break the rules it would make us look shameless .

Natasha gave a soft , teasing hum , her tone playful but calculating .

Maybe my request is a bit much , but I didnt say I wouldnt compensate you further , darling .

Andrew raised a brow .

Youve got more medicinal herbs lying around ? Natasha shook her head and shot him a sly look .

Not herbs , but dont you think Im more valuable than some plant ? Andrew frowned .

Madam Vostokoff , I have no interest in you as a person .

If Natasha could produce something genuinely tempting , Andrew wouldnt mind lending another hand .

But if she thought she could freeload , shed find him far less accommodating .

Natasha clenched her teeth and said , Darling , are you seriously saying that my value doesnt even match a single herb ? Andrew replied honestly , At least for me , thats exactly the case .

Natasha took a deep breath , visibly restraining herself .

Fine .

Mark my words , Andrew Ill make sure you bow to me one day .

Her anger and determination were clear , fueled by both frustration and a growing desireto win him over .

Andrew stood up and made his exit .

Lloyd work for South City .

If anything , its South City shamelessly sticking close to him , hoping hed take us under his wing .

He continued , Madam Vostokoff , let me warn you you might want to give up on this idea of using him .

Your West End is far too small to contain someone like Andrew .

Natasha looked uncertain for a moment .

Are you saying Andrews background is bigger than he lets on ? Dylan shook his head .

I dont know much , and I wouldnt dare speculate .

But trust me messing with Mr.

Lloyd is a dangerous game , one you might not survive .

Natasha scoffed .

Please , who are you trying to scare ? Ive been in this business for years , Dylan .

Ive seen it all theres no big situation that could shake me .
