Chapter 468 Chapter 468 After buying breakfast for two downstairs at the Rhodes Corporation building, Andrew headed toward the elevator.
Just then, Marcus stepped out of his modest Volkswagen Passat, briefcase in hand, looking utterly exhausted. When Marcus walked closer, Andrew smiled and teased, Mr.
Chapman, as a department head at Rhodes Corporation, dont you think driving a car like this is a bit too modest? Marcus managed a weak smile when he recognized Andrew.
Good morning, Mr.
Lloyd.
Im not too particular about cars as long as it getswhere I need to go comfortably, Im fine.
You look like you havent slept all night, Mr.
Chapman Is something bothering you? Andrew asked casually.
Works been quite overwhelming.
I didnt sleep well last night, Marcus replied.
Work is important, but you need to take care of your health, Mr.
Chapman, Andrew advised.

When Andrew arrived at Laurens office, he found her already at work, dressed in a sleek business suit with her hair pulled back in a high ponytail.
He smiled as he said, Even if youre busy, you need to eat breakfast, Ms.
Rhodes.
Lauren set aside her work and walked over excitedly.
Thank you for breakfast, Dr.
Lloyd ! Oh wow, you got my favorite breakfast crepes and soy milk! Andrew set the food on her desk and said with a grin, I eat pretty simply, so if this isnt to your liking, Ill go get you something else.
Lauren shook her head, already munching on the crepes.
No, I love this kind of food.
Anything you bring, III happily eat.
Andrew noticed Eunice at her desk and invited, Eunice, cjoin us theres plenty ! Eunice wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully, I dont eat this kind of stuff.
Ms.
Rhodes usually doesnt either its too cheap and unhygienic.
Lauren shot her a cold glare.
If you cant speak properly, then dont speak at all.
Eunice felt hurt, noting how Laurens attitude toward her had soured since Andrews arrival.
Dont force yourself if you dont like it.
I can get you something else, Andrew offered kindly.
Lauren continued eating enthusiastically.
Who says I dont like it ? I just never had a chance to eat this kind of food before because Eunice always broughtother stuff.
But this? I think its delicious.
Eunice muttered under her breath, Youre just biased .
Even if Andrew brought you dirt, youd think it was gourmet ! Laurens voice turned cold.
Since youre so eager to talk back, maybe you should go be Michaels secretary instead.
We can bring his secretary here shes quite the flirt, perfect to serve my Dr.
Lloyd.

She would rather jump off the building than work for Michael.
Meanwhile, Andrew felt awkward about being dragged into their m argument. After breakfast, Andrew decided to share his concerns with Lauren .
Ms.
Rhodes, I think Mr.
Chapman might be in serious trouble.
What makes you say that? Lauren asked, surprised.
4 I ran into him downstairs this morning.
He looked terrible, completely out of it, and Im sure hes hiding.
eshiding something Andrew explained.
Before Lauren could respond, an employee burst into the office in panic. Ms.
Rhodes, something terrible has happened Mr.
Chapman is threatening to jump from the building !
