Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 115 Andrew stated calmly, Thats just how I am Im petty and like to sweat the small stuff.

Is that a problem, Ms.

Stevens ? Fine, Mr.

Lloyd, have it your way, Christina replied, swallowing her pride.

Leroy, give me the bottle.

Ill pour Mr.

Lloyds wine

Christie, who does he think he is? Leroy protested

Acting like some big shot executive when he used to be your errand boy! Christina felt hurt and shocked.

This new Andrew was so aggressive and domineering, nothing like the person she used to know.

He was acting more like some arrogant rich heir now.

Nonetheless, business came first, so she poured his wine anyway.

Leroy sneered

Getting cocky just because youre riding on Mr.

Yatess coattails

Youd be nothing without him.

Are you mocking me? Andrew stared at him intently

Leroy froze, surprised by Andrews directness.

Irene and Christina were equally shocked and wondered what had gotten into Andrew.

Hell yeah, Im mocking you, you gold digger! Leroy shouted, feeling insulted.

What are you going to do about it? I cant do much, Andrew replied calmly, pausing dramatically before continuing,... except cancel our partnership.

Ill also recommend to Mr.

Yates that we end all other business

dealings with the Stevens Corporation

Leroy slammed his hand on the table, his face flushed with anger.

Youre crossing the line! Christina felt a chill run down her spine.

The deals between Stevens Corporation and Wealthroller Investments were too important to jeopardize.

What are you going to do about ? Andrews piercing gaze made Leroy shudder.

Irene finally realized how serious the situation had become.

Even though she silently cursed at Andrew, she carefully controlled her voice.

Sit down and shut your mouth, Leroy.

Dont cause any more trouble.

Mom, he started it! Leroy protested in disbelief.

Listen to Mom, Christina snapped.

Sit down and shut your trap or leave right now

Seething with frustration, Leroy clenched his jaw and slumped into his seat, shooting Andrew a

venomous glare.

Harvey, ever the opportunist, plastered on a diplomatic smile.

Andrew, come on now.

Youre the older one here.

Why not be the bigger person and let it slide ? After all, Leroy is Christies brother

Cant you just cut him some slack for her sake? Chapter 115 Irene chimed in, her tone mocking.

If only everyone were as considerate and gentlemanly as you, Harvey, this world would be full of good

men.

Andrew chuckled, turning to Harvey.

What did you just say? Are you implying I should let it slide because Im the older one? Sorry, but an ill mannered person doesnt deserve my generosity.

Harveys face darkened instantly.

Yet, before he could respond, Andrew continued coldly, And who the hell are you to tell me what to do? The whole room fell silent, stunned by Andrews aggression.

Christina stared at Andrew in amazement.

In all her memories of him, she had never seen him this fierce.

This new Andrew was like an alpha wolf, baring his fangs to everyone who challenged him,noveldrama
