Lloyd , are you alright ? Andrew brushed off his suit and smiled , saying , Im fine ! Lauren threw her arms around him and said tearfully , You scared me ! When I saw you jump , I thought … well , if you were going to make such a dramatic gesture , it should have been for me ! Her comment broke the solemn atmosphere , causing the gathered employees to burst into laughter .

Mr.

Lloyd , I have nothing but admiration for you ! one employee exclaimed .

Youve shown us what true courage looks like .

I just want to say youre the real deal ! Another chimed in , grinning , No wonder Ms.

Rhodes chose you .

All I can say is , damn , youre a legend ! The Rhodes Corporation employees gained a newfound respect for Andrew .

I apologize for what I said earlier .

Andrew waved it off and said , Dont worry about it .

Everyone , lets get back to work When several reporters tried to enter Rhodes Corporation to interview Andrew , Lauren turned them away .

Andrew explained , Its better not to publicize Mr.

You can return to running the Pharmaceutical Division when youre feeling better ! Michaels face showed sincerity as he patted Marcuss shoulder , but the executives behind him wore smirks that suggested they were there to mock rather than comfort .

Marcus lay pale faced in the bed , clearly struggling to contain his emotions as he said , Mr.

Rhodes , I dont need several days .

Just give me half a day , and I can return to work in the Pharmaceutical Division .

Michael smiled and waved his hand dismissively , saying , Mr.

Chapman , Im giving you time off just relax and dont push yourself ! Dont worry , Ill keep an eye on the Pharmaceutical Division for you .

Marcus suddenly snapped , his tone sharper , I think your offer to let me rest is just an excuse .

Youre planning to sideline the and eventually push me out of the division altogether , arent you ? Michaels smile faltered for a moment before he recovered and said , Mr.

Chapman , youre overthinking this .

The Pharmaceutical Division has always been under your management- how could I overstep ? As Michael and the executives turned to leave , they found Lauren and Andrew blocking the doorway .

Michael adjusted his glasses and gave Andrew a practiced smile .

Mr.

Lloyd , I must say , risking your life to save someone youve become the companys hero .

Well have to reward you for this !
