Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 Andrew smiled .

Dont mention it .

I didnt do much for Dr.

Aicker anyway .

That relic just seemed to have a natural connection with him .

Elsie stood quietly to the side , observing Andrew with subtle interest .

Her thoughts churned as she wondered to herself , Could a man like this truly exist ? Someone so composed , charming , and effortlessly skilled in everything he does ? From his demeanor and words to his charisma and even his looks , Andrew checked every box for Elsie .

She had to admit he had a magnetic pull on her , yet she felt a pang of disappointment .

No matter .

she did , her charm did not catch his attention at all .

Just then , a staff member whispered something in Elsies ear , and she hesitated for a moment before speaking up .

Mr.

Lloyd , the Jayrodale Antiques Association would like to invite you to join as a member .

Are you interested ? Andrew instinctively wanted to decline .

He was never one to care about club memberships , VIP titles , or committee positions .

Those labels might impress others , but they held no appeal for him , as he preferred to keep to himself .

Before he could turn it down , Francesca interjected with a cheerful laugh .

Thats a great honor ! Ive heard that being part of the antiques association earns you much respect .

Andrew , this is perfect for you , especially at your age .

Thank you so much , Ms.

Santana ! Elsies face lit up .

Then its settled ! Ill speak to the association president and let them know Mr.

Lloyd is officially joining our association .

With both women looking so pleased , Andrew felt it would be rude to dampen their excitement , so he held back his objections .

He let out a small sigh , resigned to going along with their enthusiasm for now .

After a short break , Elsie announced , Mr.

Lloyd , were about to start the highlight of the antiques festival .

Andrew raised an eyebrow , intrigued .
