Chapter 190ย Lemira felt a stir as she watched him lounge with such a careless ease, which was intriguingly inviting.ย She lowered her gaze, โI was just trying to be helpful, you know.โย butย โDonโt worry, sheโll share my bed,โ Orion said with a smirk. โKid, youโre young your mind sure runs wild.โย Lemiraโs mood soured instantly as she heard those words. The thought of him being so kind to another girl, sharing a bed with her even, saddened her.ย Her expression cooled significantly, โIโll head back to rest.โย With that, Lemira turned and left, her departure marked by the forceful shut of the door. Orion, hearing the slam, arched an eyebrow. Was she angry?ย โOrion, youโre not being straight with her, man. You donโt really have a girlfriend. Thatโs lying.โย โdidnโt lie to her. Donโt you share a room with your girlfriend?โย Thaddeus sipped on his lemonade, โYou were just playing words with her. Sweet Lemonโs thoughtful, keeping it by the bed. If it werenโt for her status, Iโd say sheโs quite the match for you.โย Orionโs gaze darkened, โDonโt joke about that.โย โAlright, enough with the banter. I just got word: the exam surveillance footage was pulled up, and itโs clear as day โ Ms. Fake Angel cheated, an obvious evidence. Whatโs your move?โย A smile played on Orionโs lips, his eyes not following suit, โWhat else? Justice will be served.โย Bugs needed to be squashed.ย Back at her apartment, recalling Orionโs words, Lemira wished she could knock some sense into him.ย Lying on her bed, she felt distressed. For a while, she had managed to forget about Orionโs supposed girlfriend, hoping if ignored, it would feel like it never happened. But that was just wishful thinking.ย The reason she had brought up moving out was to avoid bringing trouble to Orion from Asher finding out she lived outside. Because of this matter, sleep eluded her that night.ย The next day, she got a call from Hogan, โMs. Langston, the game you helped develop is going live. We need all hands on deck for a final meeting, and as a technician, youโve got to take a part. Can you make it this afternoon?โย โIโd rather not. Missing one person wonโt make a difference for the meeting.โย Lemira wasnโt keen on crossing paths with the Langston family again.ย โMs. Langston, this is workโrelated. I get where youโre coming from, but work is work. If you plan to start your own venture or anything involving the Langston family in the future, are you going to avoid it forever?โย โWho said anything about avoiding?โ After a moment, Lemira agreed, โIโll be there.โย Hanging up, she felt a mix of annoyance. She wasnโt one to run from her problems.ย She headed to the hospital in the afternoon where Lucian was still admitted.ย Walking into the room, she found a couple of team members gathered, a real meeting indeed. On her way, she even wondered if it was a trick to lure her there.ย Lucianโs eyes were warm as he saw Lemira, โGlad you could make it. Letโs start.โย Lemira listened from the sidelines, hearing some complain about the pressing deadlines from partners. She figured Thaddeus and Orion must have been busy with the game, explaining their absence.ย As the meeting concluded, Lemira made to leave without looking up.ย โLemmy, wait.โย Soon, only the two of them remained.ย Lucian spoke, โDid you know Asher came back last night?โย โI did, but my decision stands.โย Approaching the door, she found it blocked by a group, led by a stern, handsome man in a suit. Asher spoke coldly, โAnd where do you think youโre going?โย 517-17ย Cย Chapter 192ย
