When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 127

When Orion laid eyes on Lemira that morning, there was a hint of awkwardness in his demeanor.

He straightened out his robe, trying to sound indifferent, "You're up?"

"Yeah, just feeling a bit woozy."

Orion hesitated before asking, "Remember anything you did last night?"

Lemira racked her brain but ultimately shook her head, "No clue. Did I embarrass myself or something?"

No way!

Orion took a deep look at Lemira, knowing well she couldn't hide what was on her mind.

It was clear she genuinely had no memory of last night's events.

He had been up all night worrying about it.

Now, he realized he might have overthought the situation.

Orion let out a sigh of relief, "Getting drunk late at night can be dangerous. Try to avoid drinking from now on."

Lemira mumbled, embarrassed, "I didn't mean to drink that much. I just wanted a couple of sips."

Orion's gaze narrowed slightly, "Alcohol can dumb you down, not that you need any help with that."

Lemira felt a sting from his words.

Yet, she noticed him coming over with a glass of honey water, his voice cold, "Drink this."

"Thanks."

Lemira took a few sips, sneaking glances at Orion, "I've noticed you're actually quite considerate. Any girl would be lucky to have you as a boyfriend."

Hearing this, Orion's expression grew more intense, "I'm not planning on that any time soon."

"Not interested in dating? Why, too busy with work?"

Lemira was curious, especially after seeing him once at a diner with a girl.

Orion, sensing her curiosity, feigned a stern face, "My standards are high, haven't found the right one yet."
