Chapter 692

Lauren sighed and said, “At the end of the day, it all comes down to my family’s alliance with the Driscoll family in Blumedale. Anyway, Fran, I can’t sleep with Dr. Lloyd right now. But you don’t have that restriction, so you can go ahead and give him what he needs.”

Francesca bit her lip, looking embarrassed. “Forget it. How could I take Andrew before you do? I’d rather wait for you… maybe we can figure it out together.”

Lauren’s face turned bright red as she squirmed in her seat. “What? If we do it together, wouldn’t that mean all three of us in bed? Like… a threesome?”

Francesca’s cheeks flushed even deeper. “I–I don’t know either.”

She took a shaky breath and added, “But Lauren, since you’ve been so good to me, I should be honest, too. I need to tell you something… or else I’ll feel guilty.”

Lauren covered her mouth, stifling a laugh. “Don’t tell me… you’ve already slept with Dr. Lloyd?”

Francesca’s face turned ghostly pale. Her eyes filled with guilt as she whispered, “Y–You guessed it. It was an accident, though! I was drugged with that… Enthralling Essence. If Andrew hadn’t… balanced my energy, I would’ve died. So, don’t blame him. If you’re angry, blame me… he was just trying to save my life.”

Lauren shook her head with a sly smile. “I’m not mad at you or my Dr. Lloyd. In fact, Fran, I just have one question…”

“How was it?” she asked, eyes glinting. “Did you feel that… tremble? That electric rush through your whole body?”

Francesca’s hands twisted together nervously as she opened her mouth a few times, unsure how to respond. Finally, she stamped her foot and blurted out, “Ugh, I can’t explain it! It was just…”

“Just what?” Lauren giggled.

“Just… amazing. It felt so good,” Francesca admitted. “When you’re finally free from your mom’s control, you need to try it with Andrew!”

Lauren chuckled. “Oh, I will! And when I do, the two of us will work together to drain him dry!”

“Lauren, what’s wrong with us? Ever since Andrew showed up, we’ve both turned into total flirts. It’s so embarrassing!”

“No, Fran,” Lauren said with a smirk. “You’ve turned into a shameless flirt. You sneaked a taste before me, didn’t you? I bet Andrew’s squeezed your soft little curves more times than you can count. Hmph, I want a turn too!”

Andrew stood near the front desk, raising a brow when he heard the familiar giggles coming from around the corner. He shook his head, half-amused.

He said to Nyla, “Nyla, take the next few days off. Go home and get some proper rest before coming back.”

Nyla shifted awkwardly. “But I’m fine now. I want to be here and work.”

Andrew shot her a sharp look. “No. Go home and rest. Your salary won’t be affected, and you’ll still get your bonus. Don’t worry about that.”

“Alright… I’ll listen to you,” Nyla mumbled, her tone reluctant. Then, after glancing toward the hallway, she leaned in and whispered, “Dr. Lloyd… do you want to know what Ms. Rhodes and Dr. Aicker are talking about over there?”

Andrew raised an eyebrow. “You know?”

Nyla stifled a giggle. “Come on, Dr. Lloyd. We’re all women–we can usually guess these things.”

“Then tell me,” Andrew said, his curiosity piqued.

“Listen to their giggles. That kind of squealing can only mean one thing… they’re talking about guys,” Nyla said with a mischievous grin. “Trust me, when girls get excited like that, they’re usually swapping stories about… well… intimate stuff.”

Andrew hesitated, glancing toward the hallway again.

Could Nyla be right? Were Lauren and Francesca really sitting there, laughing and gossiping about him?
