Chapter 1247
After freshening up, Andrew eagerly checked out the package Aspen had mentioned.
He ripped it open and could not help but nod, pleased as punch. The medicinal herb he had been waiting for had arrived right at his doorstep!
It seemed that Mosby’s apprentice really came through last night.
With the final ingredient for Tiana’s martial arts elixir in hand, Andrew got down to business.
Tiana had the bulk of the main ingredients ready to go.
The few bits and bobs that were missing? Andrew generously topped them off.
By late morning, Andrew stepped out of his alchemy room in Serenity Villa, a small porcelain bottle containing Tiana’s needed elixir in tow.
Natasha batted her eyelashes at him and teased, “Hey, how about you join me for a little shopping spree?”
Andrew chuckled. “Shopping? Got your eye on something special?”
Natasha shook her head. “Not looking to buy anything, but the capital’s streets are buzzing these days!
“The Grand Medical Summit is kicking off soon, and it’s the talk of the town. I just wanna soak up the excitement!

That’s when it clicked for Andrew. Oh yeah, the Grand Medical Summit was just around the corner!
He was not all that into it at first, but then Mosby got under his skin, mentioning that the summit’s prizes included some rare medicinal herbs.
Just like that, Andrew was hooked…
“Natasha, I’m really sorry, but I might have to bail on our street outing!”
Andrew said, feeling a bit guilty.
Natasha’s mood was down in the dumps. “Ever since we hit the capital, it seems like you’re all about Aspen and not giving me the time of day!”
Andrew cracked a wry smile. “I’m not ignoring you, and I’m definitely not flirting with Aspen!
“The thing is, I’ve got some serious business to handle! I need to swing by Mercy Hospital before the big meeting kicks off.
“Mr. Rhodes mentioned last time that Mr. Goddard over at Mercy has got some rare medicinal herbs. I’m gonna check it out, see if I can score some!”
Those herbs were Andrew’s obsession, worth more to him than cash or anything else.
Natasha got it, so she backed off.
“Just make sure you’re back soon. I’m here waiting for you to be all mine!”
She threw him a pouty look and a playful hip wiggle. Natasha, the flirty widow, did not hold back h front of Andrew.
Andrew booked it out of there, worried if he dawdled, he would be wrapped around the widow’s finger.

Since running into him, Natasha had cleaned up her act just for Andrew!
Sure, it was nice, but it sure gave Andrew a heap of headaches!
All because the widow’s wants and needs were his to satisfy
If he did not keep her happy, the fiery widow would start to stir up trouble…
Aspen had sneakily taken the Ferrari for a spin. Andrew muttered curses at the cheeky servant’s bold move and went to catch a cab.
Stepping to the curb, a chilling look laced with danger caught his eye, and Andrew could not help but glance over. A guy with flowing locks and a killer smile sauntered up.
“So you’re the Andrew who got my mentor so steamed he nearly blew a gasket, huh?”
Andrew did not even blink “Looks like you’re Mosby’s top student. Let’s get this over with, shall we? I’ve got places to be after I wipe the floor with you!”
Carl, Mosby’s number one, let out a laugh. “Big talk for a newbie. You’ve got the cool act down pat, almost as good as me! Andrew, you clearly don’t know who you’re dealing with. I’m Carl.”
