Chapter 232ย โShh! Keep it down.โย Lemifa tugged at Orionโs hand, gingerly hiding behind a large decorative vase.ย Orion obediently stayed by her side, shaking his head towards the guard lurking in the shadows.ย Lemira whispered, โDidnโt you know that the Everhart heir is dining in that private room over there?โย A teasing smile flicked across Orionโs eyes, โSo?โย Lemira turned to him, feeling a bit helpless, โDidnโt Thaddeus tell you on the phone why youโre supposed to be here? This is a golden opportunity.โย โWhat golden opportunity?โย An opportunity to discuss an investment with the Everhart heir, of course. I absolutely canโt let the Langstons get there first.โย Orion smiled, โDonโt worry. The Everhart Group will invest.โย โWhy are you so sure? Did you already meet with the Everhart heir or something?โย Orion coughed, a tad guiltily, โYeah, I met him.โย โAnd? How did it go?โย โNot bad.โย โBut I heard the Everhart heir is tough to deal with, probably very picky. Iโm surprised you managed to strike a deal with him so quickly.โย Orion furrowed his brows slightly, โWho told you heโs tough to handle?โย โEveryone says so. And I actually caught a glimpse of him just now.โย Orionโs heart skipped a beat. He observed her expression closely, probing, โYou saw him clearly?โย That shouldnโt be the case. If Lemira had seen him clearly, she wouldnโt be acting like this!ย โNot really. His towering guard mostly blocked my view. I only saw a side profile through a crack.โย โSo, you didnโt get a good look at his face?โย Lemira shook her head, and then suddenly noticed his attire, โBut the suit youโre wearing is quite similar to the Everhart heirโs.โย Orion calmly replied, โItโs easy to have similar suit colors.โย เชฌเซย โTrue, but heย Media wear it as well as you do.โย A hint of delight appeared in his eyes, โIs that a compliment? But you havenโt even seen him.โย Thereโs nothing to see. Someone of his stature probably leads a very lavish lifestyle. Wouldnโt be surprised if he has kids from affairs scattered around.โย เฝ เฝเผ เผย Lemira had just finished her sentence when she felt a flick on her forehead.ย Orionโs gaze was meaningful, โYou seem to know quite a bit about him. Even his personal life!โย โIโm guessing. The richer they are, especially those from wealthy families, the more flamboyant their lifestyles.โย Growing up in a wellโoff household herself, Lemira was quite accustomed to the lifestyles of the rich and famous.ย Orion, for a moment, found himself at a loss for words.ย Lemira suddenly looked around, โHave you noticed how quiet it is? Thereโs no one around.โย Orion kept his composure, โAre you hungry?โย โA bit. Letโs go then. It seems the Everhart heir has cleared the place out. We better not stick around and be a nuisance.โย Lemira was quite selfโaware. Right now, sheโs more interested in grabbing a meal with Orion.ย Orion glanced at her, โHowโs the new house treating you?โย โItโs alright. How about we go back and have dinner there? You can help me celebrate. Consider it a housewarming of sorts?โย โSounds good.โย Orion was thinking of how to avoid being recognized. Going to her newly purchased house seemed like the safest bet. He wasnโt quite ready to let Lemira know his true identity!ย As they headed towards the elevator to leave, a middleโaged man suddenly approached them, โMr. Everhart, long time no see!โย Lemira turned in surprise. What did this man just call Orion? Mr. Everhart?ย
