Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 In the West End district , Andrew and Dylan received a grand welcome from Natasha .

Mr.

Lloyd , I never expected you to make such bold moves .

You even managed to shock someone like me , Dylan admitted , still in awe of Andrews earlier actions and words .

Once Northern District falls and Natasha tastes success , do you want to bet she wont just forgive me but will come thanking me with joy ? Mr.

Lloyd , youre absolutely brilliant ! Dylan gave him a thumbs up , thoroughly convinced .

A flirtatious laugh interrupted them as Natasha walked in , wearing a sexy dress with a high slit , her steps graceful and alluring .

Lloyd , Mr.
