When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 232

"Shh! Keep it down."

Lemira tugged at Orion's hand, gingerly hiding behind a large decorative vase.

Orion obediently stayed by her side, shaking his head towards the guard lurking in the shadows.

Lemira whispered, "Didn't you know that the Everhart heir is dining in that private room over there?"

A teasing smile flicked across Orion's eyes, "So?"

Lemira turned to him, feeling a bit helpless, "Didn't Thaddeus tell you on the phone why you're supposed to be here? This is a golden opportunity."

"What golden opportunity?"

"An opportunity to discuss an investment with the Everhart heir, of course. I absolutely can't let the Langstons get there first."

Orion smiled, "Don't worry. The Everhart Group will invest."

"Why are you so sure? Did you already meet with the Everhart heir or something?"

Orion coughed, a tad guiltily, "Yeah, I met him."

"And? How did it go?"

"Not bad."

"But I heard the Everhart heir is tough to deal with, probably very picky. I'm surprised you managed to strike a deal with him so quickly."

Orion furrowed his brows slightly, "Who told you he's tough to handle?"

"Everyone says so. And I actually caught a glimpse of him just now."

Orion's heart skipped a beat. He observed her expression closely, probing, "You saw him clearly?"

That shouldn't be the case. If Lemira had seen him clearly, she wouldn't be acting like this!

"Not really. His towering guard mostly blocked my view. I only saw a side profile through a crack."

"So, you didn't get a good look at his face?"
