When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 167

The entire room turned their attention to the two under the spotlight.

Dorian, microphone in hand, made a heartfelt confession. Evelina, feigning shyness yet clearly basking in the attention and cheers from the crowd.

Lemira watched the scene unfold with a hint of mockery in her eyes. So, even without the scene of they humiliating her in the past life, Dorian still ended up confessing his feelings for Evelina.

Now, Evelina had gained some fame as an influencer, with her girl-next-door looks making her quite popular.

When Orion caught sight of Dorian, his gaze sent a warning signal to Thaddeus, who gulped, "I had no idea he would show up here."

After Dorian's public confession to Lemira last time, Thaddeus had to call his uncle in the middle of the night, urging him to keep his son on a tighter leash to avoid any more scandalous confessions.

Dorian had since vanished from Lemira's life, jetting off to Orvin, only to unexpectedly return and walk straight into their sight.

Lemira turned her head away, "It doesn't matter. With masks on, no one knows who's who. Let's just enjoy ourselves."

"Sweet Lemon, I just love your carefree spirit. Let's head to the lounge area; it might not be as lively as there when in a private room."

After all, bringing a girl to a bar didn't exactly call for a round of drinks with a bunch of ladies. And calling for guys would be even more out of the question.

So, they settled for the lounge to soak in the ambiance.

No sooner had Lemira sat down than a waiter came over to take their order. Thaddeus quickly decided for himself, asking, "Sweet Lemon, what would you like?"

"A cocktail, something fancy."

Orion, remembering Lemira's drunken antics from before, gazed at the waiter, "Bring her a glass of soda water."

Lemira recognized Orion's point. Getting drunk would mean missing out on the rest of the night.

Soon, Thaddeus found himself chatting with a girl at a nearby table and wandered off to join her, leaving Lemira and Orion alone in the lounge.

Feeling a bit awkward, Lemira sipped the cocktail served to her, feeling surprisingly pleasant.

Orion’s gaze landed on her. He felt headache, looking serious, "You really shouldn't drink carelessly when you're out."

After finishing her drink, Lemira, feeling slightly buzzed, stood up abruptly, "I'm going to go join the fun."

She was in high spirits and wanted to let loose for a bit.

Seeing Lemira head into the center of the dance floor, Orion didn't hesitate and followed her into the crowd.
