Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Francesca looked at Andrew with a hint of jealousy .

Well , well , it seems like youve got some skills after all .

Michael scoffed beside her .

Its just a basic theory ! Anyone whos watched Detective Kobe could figure that out .

Nothing to brag about ! Lauren shot him a cold smile .

Says the guy who spends all day watching Idiot Bears .

Michaels face flushed red as he argued , I dont watch Idiot Bears all day ! Lauren , there are other people here .

Cant you cut me some slack ! Lauren feigned understanding .

Oh right, my mistake youre too busy watching adult films .

Michaels face turned crimson with rage .

Did you go through my computer ? Lauren ignored him , her expression turning deadly serious .

Now that we know its someone from senior management , they shouldnt blame me for showing no mercy .

Ms.

Rhodes , Im sure you already have some suspicions about whos behind this , Andrew commented .

Lauren nodded hesitantly .

I do , but suspicions alone arent enough .

Its not easy to confirm .

Francesca suggested , If youre unsure , why dont we make a list of suspects and investigate them one by one ? Michael chimed in , Theres no need to make it so complicated .

Just give me the list Ill find the culprit and make them regret it ! Lauren hesitated when she noticed Andrew shaking his head with an amused expression .

She asked , Dr.

Lloyd , do you have a better idea ? This man had surprised her so many times already .

Before suggesting anything , Ill just say that Mr.

Rhodes and Dr.

Aickers ideas are quite naive , Andrew remarked .

Why , you Michael was fuming , but , Laurens warning glare stopped him .

Francesca crossed her arms defensively .

Meanwhile , Francesca and Michael were left in the dark about the plan .

What did you tell her ? Tell me now , Francesca demanded coldly , but Andrew ignored her completely .

She sneered .

Youve helped Lauren today , Ill give you that .

But I can see right through your little game .

Like I said before , youre getting too close to Lauren .

People who dont know their place often pay the price .

Andrew stood up and headed for the door , annoyed by her nagging .

Francesca fumed , shouting after him , Where are you going ? Get back here ! He replied casually , Bathroom break .

Do you plan to come along and join me ? Francescas face was red as she stuttered , Y You pervert ! Chapter 40
