Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1253

Andrew pocketed his phone in the bustling lobby of the hospital.

Chantelle might be icy and bossy, but when Andrew stepped up his game, she did not stand a chance against him!

A bewildered young nurse muttered, "Who is this guy? He even dropped the governor's name. Did he actually call the governor?"

Daniel, arms crossed, could not help but snort at the thought.

Those nurses were not exactly sharp. He figured it was not worth explaining.

"Kid, you're laying it on thick. You're not seriously going to tell me you just dialed up the governor's office, are you?"

He was not buying it, and neither were the patients milling around.

Meeting a top-notch professor or the dean there was like winning the lottery, let alone getting a call through to the governor!

Daniel scoffed, "What a joke, who does he think the governor is? He's the boss of Gabo Creek! If it were that easy to meet the big cheese, then why would you be here making a fool of yourself?"

In his eyes, the dean was the king of the hospital.

However, even the dean was small fry compared to the Governor.

This guy had the gall to name-drop the governor!

In short, he was a total show-off.

However, Andrew was not about to waste his breath. "Don't worry, someone will be here to take care of you soon. And if they can't handle you, trust me, I'll step in."

The hospital was supposed to be a sanctuary for healing, not a hangout for lowlifes!

Before the echo of the scolding faded, Chantelle made her entrance.

Her trademark aloofness parted the crowd, with everyone keeping a respectful distance.

"Hey, isn't that Ms. Garcia from TV?"

"He actually got her to come? Who is this guy?"

"No way he's the one who called her. If he's got the pull to get Ms. Garcia to show up, this dude must be off-the-charts powerful!"
