Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Members of West End were already negotiating with the hotels security staff at the entrance .

However , the hotels security guards were clearly unfazed by West Ends reputation and blocked the entrance without hesitation .

Dylans face darkened , and he stepped forward , ready to force their way in .

Andrew quickly stopped him , saying , Dont make a scene ! Dylan argued , Mr.

Lloyd , if we dont get in now , Finley might be slipping away soon ! Andrew shook his head .

Relax , the effects of cantharides last at least half a day .

Natasha chimed in , This hotel belongs to the Rhodes family , and West End has a decent relationship with them .

Let me try .

She approached the entrance with a cold expression .

Move aside .

Im Natasha Vostokoff from West End .

The guards exchanged uneasy glances , clearly intimidated by her commanding presence .

One of them finally mustered the courage to say , Madam Vostokoff , the hotel has been reserved for the night .

Mr.

Rhodes has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or disturb our special guests .

Natasha raised an eyebrow , a sly smile playing on her lips .

Oh ? Who has the kind of pull to book out an entire hotel ? Id love to meet them .

The guard firmly replied , Im sorry , Madam Vostokoff , but their identity is confidential .

We cant disclose that information .

Natashas smile vanished as her tone turned icy .

And what if I decide to go in anyway ? Are you going to stop me ? The guards stiffened and took a collective step back but remained firm , blocking the entrance .

Madam Vostokoff , please , theres no need to get angry .

A smooth voice broke the tension as Michael strode out of the hotel with a calm , confident air .

My apologies , but the hotel really is unfavailable tonight .

We have special guests , and it wouldnt be appropriate to disturb them .

Natasha narrowed her eyes .

Mr.

Rhodes , are you telling me that even you wont give me the respect I deserve ? Michaels smile did not falter .

Madam Vostokoff , you have my respect , of course .

But as I said , this hotel is off limits tonight .

If youd like , Ill personally cover your stay at any other hotel in Jayrodale .

Pick whichever one you want .

Natashas voice turned stern .
