When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 233

Sometimes, people would be give exactly what they were dreading.

Orion caught sight of the middle-aged man bursting into the scene, and for a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to lash out.

With a chilly nod, he swiftly guided Lemira out of the restaurant.

A few stepped out, Lemira glanced back, only to find that the man had vanished into thin air!

"Who was that middle-aged guy?" she asked, puzzled.

"I have no idea."

"But he called you Mr. Everhart."

The suspicion in her eyes was unmistakable as she gazed at Orion. Orion felt his heart lurching. How was he going to explain this?

After a moment of thinking, Lemira's face lit up with realization, "Maybe someone from past dealings with the Maple Group? Ever since that event, we've been swamped with partnership offers."

She was convinced the man was there to discuss business with Orion.

Orion knew she was mistaken but didn't correct her, playing along instead, "The future's bright for this project."

"Just bright? It's downright brilliant! Imagine its application in self-driving cars, once it takes off..."

Lemira caught herself mid-sentence, realizing her slip. She had just given herself away!

Orion shot her a look, "Seems you know quite a bit about the industry."

After some analysis, his team had indeed concluded that the sector had massive potential.

Yet, many remained skeptical, dismissing it as an unreliable venture. Lemira's insight was a refreshing change.

Arriving at Lemira's newly purchased home, she opened the shoe cabinet, a mix of amusement and exasperation on her face, "Looks like I don't have any shoes that fit you. Will mine do for now?"

She had just moved in, and the place wasn't fully set up yet.
