When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 212

Later, she was the brains behind the firewall source code of the internal system, crafted to prevent a repeat of the same debacle. But this time, she was determined to reclaim her efforts.

Orion lingered at the doorway of the study, catching a glimpse of her resolute expression, and chose not to interrupt.

Although he was in the dark about what Lemira was plotting. But judging by her demeanor, it seemed she had things under control. If not, he was ready to step in and clean up the mess for her.

Just as Lemira logged off the system, a series of urgent knocks echoed from the other side of the door.

She let out a scoff, "Finally shown up."

Lemira walked out of the study, facing Orion, "Maybe you should hide?"

He raised an eyebrow, "Am I that much of an eyesore?"

"That's not what I meant. I think Asher is here to stir up trouble, and I'm worried he'll start by knocking you out."

Lemira pushed Orion back into his room, "It’s my own battles, so let me handle it."

Orion, left with no choice, retreated to his room.

Turning around, Lemira opened the apartment door, only to find it wasn't Asher waiting outside but Lucian!

Her expression turned icy, "Why are you here instead?"

Lucian seated in a wheelchair, pale-faced, "I managed to stall Asher. You need to come with me now!"

Lemira took a step back, creating distance between them, "I'm not going anywhere."
