When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 628

Lemira walked into the office with her documents, deliberately leaving the door open.

It was just the two of them in the room.

Lemira went over and placed the file on the desk. "These are the data issues I've compiled, along with some suggestions for optimization."

Orion reached for it, and she noticed how long and elegant his fingers were.

But he took the file without looking at it, his fingers pressing down on the cover, slowly stroking the paper.

Lemira looked up, confused. What was he doing?

Their eyes met.

Orion's gaze drifted down Lemira's body. He noticed she was wearing a short skirt today, her long, straight legs a dazzling sight.

His voice was a little unsteady. "Last night..."

"You don't need to explain last night to me."

Lemira guessed what he was about to say and cut him off.

She remembered seeing Sophia appear behind Orion as she drove away from Bistrova last night, and she tried her best not to think about what they might have discussed.

Orion's eyes darkened. He had spent all night planning to explain everything clearly when he saw her today.

But now she was so prickly, so unapproachable.

He had to be careful.

He was afraid that if he pushed her, she would bring up breaking up again. Orion couldn't bear to hear those words.

He asked in a low voice, "Still angry?"

"What's there for me to be angry about? I'm not the one who was humiliated."

Lemira looked at him defiantly, her face a mask of indifference.

"Really?"

Orion stood up and moved closer to her.

Lemira took a step back, reminding him, "This is an office."

As soon as the words left her mouth, he turned, walked over, and closed the door, even locking it.

Lemira heard the click of the lock, and her heart skipped a beat. What was he planning?

Orion stood before her, looking down into her eyes. It used to be so easy to read her when her emotions were on the surface.

But now, he sometimes found it impossible to figure out what she was thinking.

He lowered his voice and began to explain, "I also publicly clarified yesterday that I have no engagement with Sophia."

They stood close, the space between them charged with an ambiguous tension.
