When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 394

Lemira glanced up, her tone detached, "The Langstons? I've cut ties with them. Their drama doesn't concern me anymore."

Ever since Lemira had a virtual showdown with a troll, everyone knew she had a sharp tongue.

After ending her live stream, Lemira felt a rumble in her stomach. Hunger.

She had barely shut down her laptop when there was a knock at the door.

Puzzled, Lemira headed to the foyer. "Who is it?"

"Delivery."

"I didn't order anything."

"The address checks out. You're Lemira, right?"

"Yes, that's me."

With that, the delivery guy handed her the package and left.

Lemira found it odd. Only three people knew where she lived.

Orion, Thaddeus, Janice.

Ding. A text from Orion flashed on her screen: [Don't forget to eat.]

Looking down at the delivery, Lemira realized he had ordered for her.

Sitting down, she texted back, [Who asked for your charity? I can order my own food.]

[Just trying to make amends,] he replied.

A small smile flickered across Lemira's face before she quickly suppressed it.

She wasn't hungry before, but now her stomach was singing a different tune.

And the food? Exactly to her taste.

After eating, she glanced at their chat and deliberately left him on read.

The next day, Lemira woke up without an alarm, a rarity for her. She had an esports banquet in the evening.

She texted Janice to meet at her apartment to get ready together.

Another message popped up: [Lunch is at the door.]

Getting up, Lemira received the lunch package, her mood visibly brightening. [Thanks, boss,] she texted Orion.

[Not mad anymore?]
