rising from the ashes Chapter 288 Atlas mistress was overjoyed , showering him with sweet words over the phone .
Thank you , baby ! Ill dress up beautifully for when you come Oh , Ive bought several sets of sexy lingerie -come rip them off me soon ! Atlas laughed happily .
Dont worry , baby .
Once handle these important matters , Ill keep you busy for days .
After hanging up , Atlas felt deeply satisfied .
His empire was rising , with Northern District at its peak , and soon , he would devour both Natashas West End and Dylans 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 gala , Andrew replied with a smile .
Francescas eyebrows furrowed with concern .
Are you going to a gala ? 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 gala without her knowing ? Come on , Dr.
Aicker , Andrew said exasperatedly .
Theres nothing between Ms.
Rhodes and me dont play 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 and complimented 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 claimed you first , I might have made a move myself , Francesca joked with 1/2 +25 BONUS rising from the ashes Chapter 289 a twinkle in her eye .

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 anything comes 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 collapsed 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 !
