When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 252

Orion hung up the phone and immediately texted his secretary, "Clear the hotel!"

He didn't want anyone to catch a glimpse of Lemira when they stepped out. He was determined to protect her!

After hanging up, Orion returned to the room to find Lemira almost done with her meal.

She glanced up at Orion with a flicker in her eyes. What should she say at a moment like this?

Orion checked the time, "Got any classes today?"

Lemira thought for a moment, "In the afternoon."

"If you're feeling off, you could skip."

"No need to skip, I'm pretty much okay now. Classes aren’t exhausting, just sitting in a lecture hall."

Lemira mainly felt awkward, unsure how to face him or what to do about their current situation!

Noticing Lemira's discomfort, Orion spoke with a hint of amusement, "That scared of hanging out with me, huh?"

Lemira's breath hitched, "Who said that, I-I just don’t want to skip classes."

"College isn’t complete without skipping a class or two."

Seeing her strained effort to keep up appearances, Orion finally dropped the teasing, "I’ll drive you to campus."

Lemira watched his retreating back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After quickly freshening up, she followed Orion out of the hotel. But glancing around, she noticed the hotel seemed upscale yet to have no people around.

Orion caught her gaze, "What is it?"

"Is this hotel not doing well? It looks so fancy, but I haven't seen a single guest."

A flicker of surprise passed through Orion's eyes, "Maybe, it's just a quiet time."
