When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 54

Lemira lounged in the backseat, responding lazily. She wasn't really interested in any of this to begin with.

Seeing that Lucian didn't get mad, Evelina felt a sinking feeling in her gut.

Lucian glanced back at her, "Eve, just try harder next time. There will be chances, no one will interfere with your performance again."

Evelina was beyond frustrated. Her grades had dropped because of game training, and didn't the Langstons think to compensate her somehow?

They even intended to get back the emerald necklace she received last time. Damn them! Lucian was warming up to Lemira, and she had to find a way to stop it!

When they arrived at the upscale restaurant, Lemira moodily got out of the car. Facing Lucian and Evelina, she'd rather be home studying!

Evelina's eyes lit up at the sight of the restaurant, "This place? Lucian, you're so biased! I've been asking you to take me here and you always said no."

Lemira glanced at the restaurant.

In her past life, this place was famous, a symbol of status that required membership. Despite that, plenty of rich folks still clamored for the prestige of being members.

This place must've just opened recently.

Lucian replied helplessly, "I was really busy before, but here we are today, aren't we?"

"Lucian, I guess I'm basking in Lemmy's glory today, but I'm totally okay with that."

Evelina sneakily took out her phone to snap a few pictures. She couldn't wait to show off on Facebook.

Lucian instinctively looked at Lemira and noticed she wasn't as excited as Evelina.

As Lemira walked into the restaurant toward the elevator, she caught a glimpse of a figure on the second floor. She paused; it looked like Orion!

For a moment, Lemira thought she was mistaken, but that profile was unmistakably Orion’s! Orion was with a stunning woman, tall with long hair.

Lemira quickly looked away, her heart racing.
