    Lily's eyes remained glued to Andrew and Benita as they walked side by side into the hall. “Benita what are you doing with that scum?” Lily called out to her friend, pointing her fingers at Andrew, her face scrunching up in disgust. " Did he tell you I just divorced him?"She hadn't expected Andrew would find Benita so easily even when she withheld information about her.Benita stood there in shock.Wait,did I just hear divorce? Benita muttered as Lily's words sank into her ears. She looked at Lily and back at Andrew, she did that 2 times. Then, it struck her like lightning —Andrew was Lily's ex husband, —the same man she had said she would kick in the balls if she saw him. Lily glared at Andrew expecting him to come back begging for a second chance so she could humiliate him but he didn't, which angered her. She snapped her gaze back to Benita. “Benita, why did you bring this disgrace to my party?”Lily snarled,eyeing Benita from head to toe with jealousy.Back then, t

But you did insult him!”The whole hall was bustling with noise as people weighed on their opinions and horrible past attitude towards Andrew. “Quite everyone!

    “I knew it! How did we even think that someone like that could be the Almighty chairman of A and U?” The guests talked amongst themselves as they began to leave the hall Their words flew into Andrew's ear but he disregarded it, they were free to think whatever they wanted to,that was the least of his problems. A comfortable silence settled between him and Benita , as he dragged from his cigarette while Amanda gently sipped from her wine glass. When the CEO saw that the rest of the guests had left, and it was just his boss and the woman he came with, he decided it was time to relay the Information he had. Benita saw the CEO approaching Andrew and she took that as a sign to excuse herself and give them some space. “I will be outside ” She said as she grabbed her purse from the table “Boss” The CEO called out as soon as he reached where Andrew was seated. “Say it out already”Andrew snapped as soon he noticed the gloomy expression on the CEO's face.

As Andrew stepped out of the hall, the message his CEO relayed to him about Tiffany,kept playing in his head, he really had no time for any distractions right now and the Tiffany he knew, wouldn't understand that. “Hey Andrew”Benita waved as soon as she saw Andrew walk towards her. All these while she was outside, she had been practicing on a better way to ask Andrew in a sensible and polite way about the one question that had been bothering her. “Hi Benita, are you ready to go?”Andrew asked as he got close eno

    The room suddenly erupted with laughter after several minutes of silence. It started from an old man who couldn't believe Andrew had just spoken and soon it spread all over the room, even the group of reserved men were laughing at Andrew for no reason. “Who does this young chap think he is? Some sort of prankster or excellent joker? Boy, if you don't get the hell out of this room and let real men pay for their herbs.” The man who laughed first commented but Andrew ignored him and stared at Mr Koin who was still in disbelief. “S..sir, are you sure you mentioned the right price?” Mr Koin stuttered, still in shock and disbelief. “ Of course the boy has no idea what he's saying. Young man, you must think this is child's play but it's not. The men here are men who hold keys to several places in the world that your wretched ass can never dream of, so quit dreaming and take this last chance to exit this room.” Another man spoke but Andrew remained undeterred.

I'll take it for two hundred thousand dollars.” An extravagantly dressed man yelled and the room became filled with laughter as the previous bidder bowed his head in shame.

    An hour later, Andrew's car screeched to a stop in front of a clubhouse. The lights outside were bright and inviting and Andrew tried to take in the environment of the club house before stepping out of the car . Andrew heaved a deep sigh as he walked towards the entrance. Though he still had doubts that he would be able to get the Rootox herb here ,but deep down ,he hoped to be proved wrong . Benita’s life depended on this herb ,and there was nothing he wanted more than laying his hands on the damn herb . “Donchester.” Andrew whispered the name of the club house to himself. He tried to note as many details about the place as he could. If this place is capable of leading him to the Rootox herb , then he'd give it a try . Andrew concluded and made his way to the entrance “Hold on . What are you here for ?” The security guard held out his hand ,obstructing Andrew from going in. “I'm here for an auction” Andrew replied calmly,ignoring the man's spiteful gaze “Can I see

    Chapter 87: Rootox herb

    All through the drive to Tiffany's house, Andrew could not stop thinking about Benita and what the doctor said. He had called everyone he thought would be able to find the herb but he couldn't find any help. Lines of worry creased his face as he drove and he spoke so little to Tiffany who was trying to get into a conversation with him. All he could think of was Benita dying after she saved his life and gave him a second chance in life. Tiffany noticed that Andrew was distracted and was surprised to see that. Andrew happened to be the most focused and unbothered person she knew so seeing him this way not only surprised her but made her worried as well. What could he be thinking about? She asked herself. After a while, Tiffany could no longer put up with the strange silence that had filled the car. She tried to force the words out but nothing comes. “Andrew, are you okay?” She asked after a long conflict in her mind. Andrew glanced at her and let out a small smile. “Yes, I'm fine.
