When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 365

Lucian couldn't believe Lemira was actually going through with the lawsuit.

Lemira just laughed it off, "If you do something wrong, you've got to face the consequences. It's not like I forced Evelina to steal from me."

Lucian grimaced, "Even if you wanted to sue, you guys can't even afford a decent lawyer. Why embarrass yourself?"

Orion spoke up, ice in his tone, "We'll see when we get to court."

He had hired a lawyer himself, sure of a win.

After saying this, Orion grabbed Lemira's hand, "I'm starved, and you still owe me a dinner!"

Lemira didn't argue and walked away with him.

Lucian didn't follow. Only then did Lemira ask Orion, "When did I owe you a dinner?"

"Remember the car accident last time?"

Lemira remembered. Orion had almost got hurt because of her, and she had promised to treat him to a meal once he was better.

"I remember now," she admitted.

"At least you have some conscience."

Lemira pondered, "So, what do you want to eat?"

Orion looked at her intensely, "You'll agree to anything I choose?"

She felt his gaze was different but dismissed it as her imagination; this man was always good at hiding his true feelings.

Lemira shrugged, "I'm kinda broke right now, nothing too expensive."

"What do you usually like?"

"I heard there's a new bistro near the campus, supposed to be good. Wanna try?"

Orion, ever so dignified, nodded, "But I want a private booth."

Typical, always with the extra requests.

However, the man did like his peace and was a bit of a germophobe.

Lemira called ahead to reserve a private booth, and they set off, walking side by side but maintaining a distance.

After following the GPS for a while, Lemira realized they were going the wrong way.

She stopped to check the map.
