Charlotte said softly, "Mr. Lloyd, please come over to the bed."
Andrew frowned and replied, "According to what Madam Fontaine said, as long as I do not fall for your temptation, that counts as a pass. So whether I sit on the bed or not should not make any difference."
Charlotte bit her lip lightly and said, "If you do not come to the bed, how can we begin? And if we don't begin, how can I tempt you?"
Andrew had not expected such twisted logic, so he let out a cold laugh. Then, he set down the Godslayer and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed.
Charlotte finally turned halfway around, revealing a flawless profile, her skin smooth and luminous without a single visible pore. A few strands of hair fell by her ear, which made her look even softer and more delicate.
When she fully turned to face him, Andrew took in the full picture. Her features were natural and unadorned, expressive in an effortlessly captivating way. She was undeniably beautiful, though her personality seemed softer than the others.
She did not have Lauren's commanding presence, Nyx's dominance, Valerie's spoiled charm, or Luna's sharp intelligence, but she was still a top-tier beauty without question.
Andrew smiled and commented, "Ms. Easterling, you truly are stunning, so with that, I will be taking my leave."
He stood up as if he really meant to walk out.
Charlotte looked shocked and asked, "You don't want to touch me?"
Andrew replied calmly, "Why would I want to touch you?"
Charlotte frowned in confusion and said, "I practice the Art of Seduction, and before I ever reveal my true face, I have already set the trap through my movements and even my scent. The moment a man truly sees me, he always falls. It has always worked before, every single time. Yet you seem completely unaffected, which is strange."
The confusion on her face looked genuine, and oddly enough, that made Andrew's impression of her tick up a notch. She was nothing like Dorothy, whose emotions were impossible to read, because everything showed clearly on this young woman's face.
It seemed she was naive and pure at heart, even though she had grown up in the Harmony Sect and had never been taught to treat undressing as something intimate.
To her, taking off her clothes in front of a man was simply part of training.
Andrew cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Easterling, you should put your clothes back on. Maybe you did try to tempt me in secret, but I still have some self-control."
Charlotte smiled brightly and said, "I don't believe that."
She suddenly threw herself onto him and exhaled, sending a pink mist straight into his nose.
He said calmly, "Ms. Easterling, don't be scared. I'll speak to Madam Fontaine and tell her this is not your fault. I believe she will give me that much respect."
Charlotte rushed at him again, smiling, and asked, "Mr. Lloyd, have you ever seen a woman as beautiful as me?"
Andrew replied, "I have plenty around me."
Charlotte froze, then her tone sharpened as she asked, "But have you ever met a woman who could make you feel pleasure like I can?"
Andrew's expression turned strange as he said, "Well, the women by my side are all quite skilled too."
Charlotte's face flushed red with anger as she said, "Then you must want something new and exciting. Have you not grown tired of your women after so long?"
Andrew shook his head and said, "I have not grown tired. And if I ever did grow tired of them, I would grow tired of you even faster. So please have some self-respect."
Charlotte gritted her teeth and said, "Andrew, what if I insist on having you? You can be unwilling, and you do not have to care about cultivating with me, but you will give me your essence, and then we are done."

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Rising from the Ashes (Andrew)
The author is insanely inconsistent with Christina's character. She was loyal enough to withstand torture until she fainted, and refused to call Andrew when she was kidnapped (even though it was out of a misplaced sense of protectiveness due to her lack of trust in him). This shows that despite her family being trash (other than Dougals), she is at least a good peson at heart. Then she suddenly turns into someone spiteful and evil simply because the author is no longer intersted in patching them back up, and has decided to set him up with Lauren and Fran. That's his choice, but at least be consistent....
