Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 289

2/2 Chapter 289 Meanwhile in Scarlet Lounge , West End .

Natasha had rented out the entire luxury resort for the event .

When Andrew and Dylan arrived , they saw that the entrance was lined with high end cars .

Stunning women in designer dresses and sharp looking men in tailored suits moved in and out of the venue , all exuding power and wealth .

Dylan leaned closer and whispered , Mr.

The valet stammered , O Of course , Ms.
