Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 # 26 BONUS Harvey glanced at Andrew , shaking his head with a smile .

I apologize if my words offended you , Andrew .

I simply meant that a lady from a prestigious family like Fran should be accompanied by a gentleman befitting her status Though not overtly insulting , Harveys words dripped with upper class superiority and dismissiveness toward Andrew .

Andrew grinned .

Im impressed .

Also , didnt you say earlier that youd cover all expenses at Oakridge Club today ? Harvey nodded , surprised by the question .

Thats right .

Whatever you want to drink or do , its on me .

Well , since you offered , Id be rude to refuse , Andrew replied , his smile widening .

Harvey chuckled and walked away with Christina , not bothering to respond further .

He had hoped to have some fun with this nobody , but Andrew did not even pique his interest .

Christina was already eager to leave .

Her disappointment in Andrew had turned to disgust .

It seemed he knew he could not compete with Harvey and was shamelessly trying to take advantage of him .

Francesca glared at Andrew .

You should be ashamed of yourself .

How can you be so pathetic ? Andrew shrugged .

Whats there to be ashamed of ? He said I could do whatever I want , and hed foot the bill .

Francesca shook her head , too embarrassed to continue the conversation .

Then , she saw Andrew stand up slowly , stretching .

She frowned and asked , What are you doing ? Youre not really going to mooch off him , are you ? Ignoring her , Andrew waved to Bobby at the next booth .

Bobby stood up with a menacing grin .

youd better lie low like the worthles You got lucky tonight , kid .

Mr.

Wellers gone now , so loser you are .
