Chapter 40 After leaving Laurens office, Andrew did not head to the nearest restroom.
Instead, he went straight to a different section of the building.
To be exact, it was where Michaels office was located.
He had noticed it earlier during his visit and slipped quietly into the only bathroom in that area.
As soon as Andrew entered, he heard Michael on the phone, clearly panicking.
Remember, no matter what Lauren does, act normal.
That damn girl is getting suspicious, and if she finds out youre behind this, Im dead too! Andrew smirked, his suspicions about Michael confirmed.
Soon, Michael grew agitated.
What are you afraid of, you idiot? Im covering for you here.
As long as Lauren cant find proof, she cant do anything, even if she suspects you ! Michael added, We shouldnt contact each other for a while.

Damn him! If he hadnt helped Lauren, we wouldnt be in this mess! As Michael hung up and started making bathroom noises, Andrew suppressed a laugh at how long it was taking him.
He could tell Michaels kidneys probably had issues.
Suddenly, Andrew flushed the toilet, startling Michael badly.
His pale turned pale as he shouted, W Whos there? Hardly anyone used this bathroom, and the fact someone was flushing now probably meant they had overheard him.
The door opened, and Andrew strolled out leisurely.
Oh, Mr.
Rhodes ! What a coincidence ! What the hell are you doing here? Michael demanded, seeing Andrews knowing smile.
Andrew asked innocently, Why shouldnt I be here ? You know what they say about bonding with the boss in the bathroom! By the way, that was quite a performance you put on.
Michaels face darkened as realization hit.
So you heard everything I said? Its hard not to.
You were pretty loud, after all, Andrew replied nonchalantly.

Otherwise, you wont like how this ends.
Andrew maintained his casual demeanor.
Mr.
Rhodes, are you threatening or trying to bribe me? You sound like youre planning to silencepermanently That makesnervous, and nervous people tend to do unpredictable things like telling Ms.
Rhodes about your little schemes ! Shut up! Michael snapped, wishing he could strangle Andrew right there. Getting anxious? Andrew smirked.

1.5 million dollars to keep your mouth shut about this.
1.5 million? Thats insulting! Andrew scoffed.
Michaels face twisted, and he sneered.

Arent you a greedy one? Then again, I shouldnt be surprised since youre bold enough to freeload off Lauren . All right, 7.5 million then.
Thats my limit, and its enough for you to live it up with any woman you with want. Andrew shook his head.
Thats nowhere near close enough.
Michael snarled, Dont push it! Im being generous here.
Smoney isnt worth dying for.
Andrew nodded thoughtfully.
Youre absolutely right, Mr.
Rhodes.
Smoney isnt worth the risk.
Thats why I dont want 7.5 million want 15 million dollars Chapter 41
