Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 40 After leaving Laurens office , Andrew did not head to the nearest restroom .

Instead , he went straight to a different section of the building .

To be exact , it was where Michaels office was located .

He had noticed it earlier during his visit and slipped quietly into the only bathroom in that area .

As soon as Andrew entered , he heard Michael on the phone , clearly panicking .

Remember , no matter what Lauren does , act normal .

That damn girl is getting suspicious , and if she finds out youre behind this , Im dead too ! Andrew smirked , his suspicions about Michael confirmed .

Soon , Michael grew agitated .

What are you afraid of , you idiot ? Im covering for you here .

As long as Lauren cant find proof , she cant do anything , even if she suspects you ! Michael added , We shouldnt contact each other for a while .

And watch out for that pretty boy hanging around Lauren hes sharper than he looks .

Damn him ! If he hadnt helped Lauren , we wouldnt be in this mess ! As Michael hung up and started making bathroom noises , Andrew suppressed a laugh at how long it was taking him .

He could tell Michaels kidneys probably had issues .

Suddenly , Andrew flushed the toilet , startling Michael badly .

His pale turned pale as he shouted , W Whos there ? Hardly anyone used this bathroom , and the fact someone was flushing now probably meant they had overheard him .

The door opened , and Andrew strolled out leisurely .

Oh , Mr.

Rhodes ! What a coincidence ! What the hell are you doing here ? Michael demanded , seeing Andrews knowing smile .

Andrew asked innocently , Why shouldnt I be here ? You know what they say about bonding with the boss in the bathroom ! By the way , that was quite a performance you put on .noveldrama

Michaels face darkened as realization hit .

So you heard everything I said ? Its hard not to .

You were pretty loud , after all , Andrew replied nonchalantly .

1 Michael cursed internally but quickly satd , If youre smart , youll forget every word of it .

Otherwise , you wont like how this ends .

Andrew maintained his casual demeanor .

Mr.

Rhodes , are you threatening or trying to bribe me ? You sound like youre planning to silence me permanently .

That makes me nervous , and nervous people tend to do unpredictable things like telling Ms.

Rhodes about your little schemes ! Shut up ! Michael snapped , wishing he could strangle Andrew right there .

Getting anxious ? Andrew smirked .

1/2 Chapter 40 435 DONUS Michael gritted his teeth .

1.5 million dollars to keep your mouth shut about this .

1.5 million ? Thats insulting ! Andrew scoffed .

Michaels face twisted , and he sneered .

Arent you a greedy one ? Then again , I shouldnt be surprised since youre bold enough to freeload off Lauren .

All right , 7.5 million then .

Thats my limit , and its enough for you to live it up with any woman you want .

Andrew shook his head .

Thats nowhere near close enough .

Michael snarled , Dont push it ! Im being generous here .

Some money isnt worth dying for .

Andrew nodded thoughtfully .

Youre absolutely right , Mr.

Rhodes .

Some money isnt worth the risk .

Thats why I dont want 7.5 million I want 15 million dollars ! Chapter 41
