When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 629

His words made her pause, and she lowered her head.

Noticing the shift in her mood, Orion asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

"I think you're right. With your status, who would dare to offend you?"

Lemira even managed a small smile.

Seeing that smile, Orion felt a chill run down his spine. He bit the inside of his cheek.

On this matter, he would always be in the wrong.

He couldn't resist pinching her cheek. "Stop smiling."

Just as Lemira tried to pull away, the office door swung open. Thaddeus stood there, taking in the scene.

He quickly stepped back. "Uh, I'll come back later."

Orion dropped his hand, his lips pressed into a thin line as he glared at Thaddeus. "Don't you know how to knock?"

"I'm coming back to my own office. Why would I knock?" Thaddeus was completely baffled.

Lemira bolted, mortified.

Orion's expression soured. He looked at Thaddeus. "I thought I locked the door."

"Forgot to tell you, the lock broke two days ago."

"...Get it replaced."

Orion picked up the file Lemira had given him. He had to admit, she was incredibly talented.

Thaddeus sidled up, ready for some gossip. "So, I heard you publicly denied your engagement to Sophia at Bistrova last night and even defended Lemon?"

Gossip traveled at the speed of light.

Everyone now knew that the girl Orion was so protective of was a streamer who had once pulled off his famous 12-hit combo. Rumors were flying that they had been together for a while.

Orion remained calm. "Of course. Last night was the perfect opportunity to set the record straight."
