When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 320

"Who says I'm just an employee? If we win this bid, I'll be getting stock options and shares in Maple Group."

After Lemira finished speaking, Evelina couldn't hide her astonished expression. Was Maple Group really that generous?

No wonder Lemira was so desperate to get the data from Asher!

Evelina felt a pang of jealousy, realizing her own efforts wouldn't let Lemira have all the glory.

Alaric, however, had a complex look on his face.

Evelina was right; Lemira was becoming more and more successful and didn’t even consider the Langstons anymore.

If Lemira faced a downfall and hit a rough patch, that's when she'd realize the worth of the Langston family.

Then, he could help Lemira out.

Maybe then, Lemira would stick with family and rejoin his team.

Alaric regretted not seizing earlier opportunities and wished for a reset.

This could be his chance.

Seeing Alaric didn't blow her cover, Evelina quickly said, "Alaric, let's go. Asher should be here any minute."

Without saying a word, Alaric followed Evelina out.

Lemira sat in front of her computer, glanced at the PowerPoint on her desktop, and shut it down.

Soon after, the folks from Maple Group arrived.

"The boss, Mr. Draven, said he couldn’t make it. We'll handle things on our end," the team leader said.

"Sure."

Lemira found it odd that Thaddeus didn't show, especially since he invited her to join yesterday. But she brushed it off, assuming work must have come up.

Before long, the room filled up.

Asher, leading a sizable entourage, walked in with an air of confidence.

Lemira glanced at Evelina, who seemed to falter under her gaze.
