Chapter 1333
Blushing furiously, Aspen grabbed a towel and hurried into the bathroom.
On the other hand, Andrew rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache coming on. Not being able to control his desires was a mistake any man could make. Hopefully, when he explained this to Lauren and Francesca one day, they would understand. Thinking it over, he believed they probably would. After all, this was a mistake every man found hard to avoid.
Once he was done freshening up, Andrew headed downstairs, stepping into one of the official cars waiting outside. Meanwhile, Aspen joined Dylan and Natasha in another car, heading out to pick up the Stevens family.
Chantelle sat beside Andrew in the back seat. Unbothered by the driverโs presence in the front, she shot him a sharp, mocking smile and said, โMr. Lloyd, I didnโt expect someone as vigorous as you to look so drained this morning.โ
Andrew raised an eyebrow. โDo I look tired to you?โ
Chantelleโs smirk deepened. โCome on, you and your little servant mustโve gone at it for hours last night, right? Donโt tell me you didnโt get worn outโyou look like youโve been completely drained.โ
Andrew snorted. โDrained? Ms. Garcia, you can always test me yourself.โ
Chantelle froze for a moment. Then, her eyes narrowed as she realized what he meant. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered, her tone turning sharp. โThe Grand Medical Summit is today. You should be at your peak, not wasting your energy the night before. I hope you wonโt hold us back today!โ
Andrewโs expression remained calm. โYouโre exaggerating. I just got a bit less sleep than usual. As for my energy, donโt worry. If I really need it, I can just take a few pills.โ
Chantelleโs eyes widened. โAndrewโฆ are you even a real man? You need pills just to handle a girl?โ
Andrew rolled his eyes. โDonโt get the wrong idea. Iโm talking about supplements, not Viagra.โ
With that, he pulled out two bright yellowโorange pills from his pocket and popped them into his mouth. The potent medicine instantly spread through his body, restoring his slightly sluggish spirit to peak form.
Chantelleโs eyes sharpened, clearly intrigued. โTโThose are Titan Essence Pills, arenโt they?โ
Andrew gave a slight nod.
Chantelle hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand. โGive me two.โ
Andrew frowned, pulling back. โNo way. These Titan Essence Pills are incredibly valuable, and the ones I have are the enhanced version.โ
Chantelle gritted her teeth. โWould it kill you to share two? I know the ones you carry are the good stuff, which is exactly why I want them. Mr. McCormick hasnโt been sleeping well lately. I want to give him some.โ
Andrew finally relented, handing her two pills. โAlright, fine. Since itโs for Mr. McCormick, Iโll give you these. But be carefulโhis body might not be able to handle the full strength of these pills. Make sure he only takes one at a time, and for heavenโs sake, make sure Mrs. McCormick is present when he does.โ
Chantelle blinked in confusion. โWhy does Mrs. McCormick need to be there?โ
Andrew chuckled, his grin wicked. โBecause this enhanced Titan Essence Pill isnโt just a regular supplement. Once he takes it the rush of energy will beโฆ intense. Mrs. McCormick being there is just a precaution, in case he needs release. Iโm sure you understand what I mean.โ
Chantelleโs face turned bright red, and she spat out a sharp, embarrassed hiss. โYour pills are so twisted!โ
Andrew just laughed. โTwisted? No way. These are a godsend for men. You just donโt get it. Ms. Garcia, you really should find yourself a man. Trust me, once youโve got someone, have him take one of these pills, and I guarantee youโll be the one whoโs grateful.โ
Chantelleโs face darkened. โShut up. I hate men. I especially hate men who try to put their hands on meโitโs enough to make me sick.โ
Andrew shrugged. โYou say that now, but youโre just like my little servant wasโall uptight and man-hating before she got a taste. But once you get a real taste, you might find yourself craving it, day and night.โ
Chantelle scoffed. โIโm nothing like Aspen. That girlโs twisted nature isnโt something youโve fully unleashed yet. Mark my words, Andrewโonce Stockholm syndrome reaches its peak, Aspen will turn into exactly what you just describedโa girl who canโt get enough, day in and day out. Sheโll drain you dry.โ
Andrew blinked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. โSeriously? You think Aspen is that intense?โ
He wondered if she could actually be worse than Francesca.
Just then, the blaring sound of loud music cut through the air, jolting them both. Andrew looked out the window and realized they had arrived at the Grand Medical Summit.
The stands on one side of the venue were packed with VIPs, while the other three sides were swarming with excited spectators.
It was extremely lively.
