Chapter 104 Lauren pouted as she glared at Andrew and whispered shyly , Dr.
Lloyd , we havent even established a relationship yet , so touching is definitely … inappropriate , She thought momentarily and added , However , if you really want to , we could … maybe share a kiss ? It was Andrews turn to be flustered .
He never expected Lauren to say something so bold , especially with that soft , bashful expression .
Andrew had always regarded Lauren as a confident and outspoken woman .
Hence , her delicate demeanor and shy , alluring gaze completely stunned him .
She looked like a gentle , elegant beauty straight out of a painting .

For a moment , Andrew felt his heart skip a beat .
Just as the atmosphere grew thick with tension , Andrews phone rang , abruptly breaking the moment .
Lauren covered her mouth , giggling softly .
Go ahead and take your call , Dr.
Lloyd .
Im in no hurry ! When Andrew answered , Christinas cold voice came through .
Mr.
Lloyd , do you remember what we discussed before ? Please come to Jayrodale Bank .
We need both signatures for the loan .
Ill be right there , Andrew replied , Christina had already hung up , as if reluctant to speak with him any longer .
Was that Ms.
Stevens ? Lauren pouted .
When Andrew nodded , she continued unhappily , You two broke up , and now shes supposedly engaged to Harvey .
The news is all over town .
Why is she still contacting you ? Its not what you think , Andrew explained with a sigh .
This is strictly business .
I dont buy it ! Are you two trying to rekindle things ? Lauren looked at him with pitiful puppy eyes .
Andrew chuckled bitterly .
Rekindling ? Is that even possible , Ms.
Rhodes ? Shes with Harvey now .
I cant even compare to him .
compares Lauren huffed , unimpressed .
Harvey ? Hes decent at first glance , but anyone who the two of you would see the difference immediately .
Hes not even worthy of being your assistant .
Andrew shook his head and replied , You think too highly of me , Ms.
Rhodes .
In Christinas eyes , Im the one who isnt worthy of even being in the same room as Harvey .
Lauren sneered .
Thats because shes blind .
Anyway , I wont hold you up .
But remember , Ill be waiting for the day you make me your wife .
+25 BONUS Chapter 104 Andrew made a hasty retreat .
No matter how prepared he thought he was , Laurents relentless teasing was impossible to defend against .
Meanwhile , at Jayrodale Bank , Christina walked in wearing a black lace dress .
Well , well , if it isnt the lovely Ms.
Stevens ! What an honor to have the belle of the industry to visit our humble bank ! The bank manager , Nelson OConnor , greeted Christina , his gaze shamelessly roaming over her figure .
Christina ignored his inappropriate gaze and said curtly , Mr.
OConnor , I trust youre already aware why Im here .
Lets get down to business .
The portly Nelson leaned back in his chair , propping his legs on the desk with an air of arrogance .
Straight to the point ? Fine by me .
The 30 million loan for your South City project .
has been approved .
Christinas heart leaped with joy , surprised at how easily this seemed to be going .
Nelsons smile turned sleazy as he continued , However , Ms.
Stevens needs to show some … appreciation for this deal to go through .
Appreciation ? Christina frowned , his vulgar tone setting off alarm bells .
Thats right .
Dont worry .
Its just a small token of appreciation , and the 30 million will be transferred to your project immediately , no questions asked .
Nelsons face bore an increasingly lecherous grin .
Fighting back her disgust , Christina replied , Name your terms , Mr.
OConnor .
As long as theyre within Stevens Corporations capabilities , we can negotiate .
