When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 57

Lemira’s gaze followed Orion as he pulled out his phone, and stepped aside to make a call. She peeked from behind the safety of the corridor, ensuring Lucian wouldn't catch her.

Once the call was finalized, Orion approached Lemira with an air of superiority, his expression calm and his tone teeming with a wild edge, "Let's go."

"Where to?"

"To enjoy the show."

What?

Lemira accompanied him to the elevator, heading straight to the third floor. The decor here starkly contrasted with that of the lower levels.

She couldn't help but steal glances at the man beside her. Rumor had it that the restaurant's third floor was reserved for members of a certain caliber, a status virtually no one in Lyria had achieved.

Yet, Orion seemed to breeze through without a hitch, greeted with nothing but respect from the staff.

"I heard this level is off-limits to regular members," Lemira whispered.

"Yeah, I know."

Gazing at his profile, Lemira wondered if he left her question hanging. For sure she knew that too; what she really wanted to know was how he managed such effortless access.

Lemira was lost in her thoughts when Orion suddenly stopped, causing her to bump into his back. He glanced back, amusement in his eyes, "First, let's watch. I'll explain later."

Orion turned and left as Lemira asked, “Where are you going?”

“To the restroom.”

Lemira noticed he instead took the elevator downstairs in spite of the fact that the restroom was near. Where was he heading?
