---- Chapter 2377 Andrew said, "I didn't mean anything else by it. | just thought it couldn't have been easy for
you to make it here to Chetvine on your own, so | just wanted to..." Before he could finish, Elsie interrupted softly.
"Mr. Lloyd, | chere of my own choice. | didn't expect to run into someone familiar in a foreign city, and I'm
really happy about it. Back in Suite No. 3, you helpedso much. If you ever gavean order, I'd follow it
without hesitation..." Her voice grew quieter, laced with shy nervousness. Elsie was not new to this world.
As an auctioneer, she worked in a service industry that was not so different from being a flight attendant:
glamorous on the outside, but designed to charm and please the wealthy. Ultimately, it was still about

that's the case, if Mr. Lloyd is willing, I'm... fine with it." Valerie's eyes widened in fury. "You're fine with it?
Elsie, what are you even thinking? We're both women! Don't you see how degrading that looks?" --—- Elsie shook
her head calmly. "Ms. Reyes, this isn't about lowering myself. If you truly knew Mr. Lloyd, you'd understand that
he's one of the rare good men left in this world." Valerie was fuming, though she was not even sure why. Maybe
it just bothered her to see Elsie idolize Andrew like that. "Mr. Lloyd..." Elsie said shyly, glancing up at him, "Back
