When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 136

Lemira looked up with an expressionless face, "No plans."

"Hey, newbie, what's with the attitude? Stand up, I told you to stand up, hear me?"

Lemira shot up from her chair, pushing it back a few feet.

Ethan was startled, "You're new here, looking for trouble or what? She's Ms. Langston!"

Lemira smirked mockingly, "What makes her Ms. Langston?"

"So, if she's not Ms. Langston, you are?"

Evelina, seeing the situation turning sour, quickly intervened, "Let's not fuss over me. Treat me as a newbie too, no need for all this politeness. And definitely no need for arguments over me!"

Ethan immediately brown-nosed, "Ms. Langston is right."

Lemira turned and walked to the restroom, unwilling to watch Evelina prance around.

While washing her hands, Evelina stood smugly at the doorway, "I didn't expect you to show up here."

Lemira ignored the fake angel beside her.

Evelina didn’t give up, "Lemira, don't be mad. It's Alaric who specifically asked me to come oversee the firewall project, Lucian knows about it too."

It was Lemira, after all, who suddenly turned up at the company to show goodwill. She wondered if Lemira regretted leaving home, trying to find a way back.

Lemira flicked the water from her hands, splashing Evelina's dress. The latter instantly became furious, "What are you doing? Do you know how much this dress cost?"

Lemira laughed scornfully, "Good to know it's expensive. You better not slip up, or else you might end up back in your old life. With such an expensive dress, you probably couldn't afford it in a lifetime."

Feeling humiliated, Evelina glared at Lemira's retreating figure.

“Someday, I'll make sure to trample over you!” Evelina thought to herself.
