    After hanging up, As felt deeply satisfied.


    His empire was rising, with Northern District at its peak, and soon, he would devour both Natashas West End and Dns South City


    Then, he would rule Jayrodales underworld as its sole king, crushing Marvin, the Wellers, and Rhodes beneath his feet.


    Meanwhile, in Andrews office at Jayrodale General Hospital, Francesca walked in to find Andrew in a sharp suit


    Do you have a meeting or event? she asked with a smile behind her hand, admiring his tall, elegant figure


    Neither just attending à g, Andrew replied with a smile.


    Francescas eyebrows furrowed with concern.


    Are you going to a g? Does Lauren know? Ms.


    Rhodes doesnt know, but why do you ask? Andrew responded, surprised.


    Are you really clueless or just pretending? Francesca pouted.


    Youre Laurens man now.


    Is it appropriate to go to a g without her knowing ? Come on, Dr.


    Aicker, Andrew said exasperatedly.


    Theres nothing between Ms.


    Rhodes and me dont y matchmaker.


    Besides, Im going for business, not what you think.


    Francescas face brightened.


    Oh, I guess I overthought it.


    Youre still trustworthy, after all.


    She stepped closer to fix his tie, her subtle perfume reaching his nose as their faces drew near. Andrew coughed and stepped back.


    All set ? Francesca smiled andplimented him, Yes, and honestly, youre quite handsome.


    Much more masculine and attractive than those so called Jayrodale young masters like Harvey and Michael


    Andrew rubbed his nose and smiled


    Remember how much you disliked me at first? Francesca blushed, embarrassed.


    That was before I got to know you.


    Now were good friends, and Ive realized youre both capable and genuinely good.


    If only... If only what? Andrew asked.


    If Lauren hadnt imed you first, I might have made a move myself, Francesca joked with 1/2  Chapter 289 a twinkle in her eye.


    Andrew shook his head with a smile.


    Youre Dr.


    Alckers granddaughter and chief of this hospital


    Your medical skills, family background, and education are outstanding, and youll surely find someone much better than me.


    Francescas eyes dimmed.


    Is that so? If only that were true.


    After checking the time, Andrew said, I should go.


    Call me if anythinges up at the hospital.


    Francesca forced a smile and replied, Go ahead, Ive got things handled here.


    Things are quiet except for Bernard connecting with Mr.


    Bozzelli .


    It looks like theyre plotting something.


    Andrew nodded.


    Dont worry.


    If Bernard tries anything, I wont go easy with him.


    Once Andrew left, Francesca copsed onto the sofa, hugging herself and lost in thought.


    She mumbled aloud, What am I doing? Am I really falling for Andrew? Hes Laurens man going after him would make me a terrible friend.


    I cant do that to her !
