Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

25 BONUS Chapter 9 Christina stared coldly at Andrew , her eyes filled with disappointment , anger , and a hint of jealousy that she did not even realize .

Andrew , I cant believe you found someone new so quickly after we ended things , she said bitterly .

How foolish of me to feel guilty all this time .

I guess I was just fooling myself ! Andrew shot back , When it comes to moving on quickly , I could never match your efficiency , Ms.

Stevens ! You … Fine , you win , I cant argue with you anymore , Christina stammered , at a loss for words .

Laurens beauty , curvaceous figure , and commanding presence all made Christina feel incredibly insecure .

If the woman by Andrews side had been plain or unremarkable , she might have brushed it off .

Yet , Lauren was different she posed a real threat .

This woman did not fall short in any aspect compared to Christina .

She even surpassed her in some ways , like her more prominent cleavage .

Lauren was the complete package , oozing charm and sex appeal .

Shawns lewd stare said it all .

Moreover , this gorgeous woman was now clinging to the man Christina had given up .

It felt like a slap in the face , as if the universe was mocking her for being blind to Andrews worth .

Andrew , I think we need to talk privately , Christina said , taking a deep breath and looking directly at him .

Andrew remained unmoved .

Im sorry , Ms.

Stevens , but I have nothing to say to you .

Andrew , do you really want to embarrass me in public like this ? Christina snapped , her eyes starting to water .

Andrews resolve wavered slightly when he saw her vulnerable expression .

Alright , maybe we should- Before Andrew could finish , Lauren tightened her grip on his hand and interjected sweetly , Andy , some people may have looked down on you and pushed you away .

But dont worry , Im here now .

Whatever you want , Ill give it to you ! Her affectionate display made Shawn grit his teeth in envy .

He wanted nothing more than to take Andrews place .
