Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Andrew responded indifferently , 20 % of Stevens Corporations shares are supposed to be my reward ? You seem to have quite an inflated opinion of yourself , Ms.

Stevens , he added with a hint of sarcasm .

门 Douglas quickly chimed in , Take it , Andy .

You hielped us out , and this is what you deserve .

Sir , I dont need the money , Andrew said with a smile .

While 20 % of Stevens Corporation is substantial , it makes no difference to me whether I have it or not .

Christina took a deep breath and replied coldly , If you dont want it , theres nothing more to say .

I gave you an opportunity , Andrew , but you couldnt seize it .

She felt uncomfortable , knowing Andrews rejection stemmed from underestimating Stevens Corporation .

Little did he know that the company had transformed significantly since its early days .

To her , Andrew remained as shortsighted as ever , lacking true vision .

Among the Stevens family , only Douglas had a different perspective .

He realized the family had missed their chance to align with a true powerhouse .

He had intended to bind Stevens Corporation and Andrew together through the shares he would have readily offered 50 % instead of 20 % .

Unfortunately , Andrew had explicitly declined .

Still unwilling to give up , Douglas suddenly changed the subject and asked , So , Andy , are you seeing anyone these days ? At this question , Christina froze mid eating as she turned to look at Andrew .

Meeting her gaze , Andrew replied casually , No.

As you know , Im too laid back for most women to consider dating .

Thats nonsense , Douglas said seriously .

Youve got both character and capability .

Christie also mentioned youve even been promoted to deputy chief at Jayrodale General Hospital .

Yes .

Someone recognized my talent , and I got a promotion , Andrew admitted .
