She They were practically strangers ! Lemira eyed the two men before her , Im going to hit the restroom .
After her words , she left the office .
The blood on the floor was still there , but a janitor had already come to clean it up .
Once Lemira was out of sight , Thaddeus couldnt help but criticize , You could show a little empathy , man .
This was the time to walk Lemira out , maybe comfort her a bit .
Shes no delicate flower needing constant care ! Orion glanced at the blood on the floor , Seems like the Langstons havent learned their lesson yet .
They do need a lesson , but remember , the Langston Group started as a branch founded by Lemmys parents .
Even the companys name and location were chosen by her parents .
Wouldnt she be devastated if it went under ? After all , it was a part of her heritage .
Orions expression was icy as he turned and left the office , heading towards the restroom as well .
He saw Lemira had taken to the emergency stairs .
There she was , sitting alone on a step , lost in thought .

It just wouldnt fade away ! Orion settled beside her , whispering , Need someone to talk to ? Lemira turned to see him , a mix of tears and laughter in her eyes , What are you doing here ? Offering some comfort ! Orion patted his shoulder , Lean on me for a bit , no charge .
Lemira glanced at him and then rested her head on his shoulder .
She slowly closed her eyes , Tell me , was I too harsh ? Remember how Asher used to scold you ? And during exam time , all the stationery Lucian prepared for you was faulty , almost causing you to flunk .
Lemira took a deep breath , I know .

Time to lower those standards a bit .
Ever heard the saying : Drop the decency , enjoy being a little wicked ? Arent you the one who told your followers your nickname was Ms.
Mischief ? Lemira burst out laughing , Stop it , that joke isnt even funny .
After a moment , she spoke , I do hate them , and Ill never forgive them .
Lemira added , But as a child , they were really kind to me .
Treated me like I was too precious to touch or break .
That was until Evelina came into the picture .
Her parents died in a car crash when she was just a few years old .
The good times were truly good .
But the bad times ⊠they cost her life ! 10:08 Orion looked at her conflicted expression , feeling a pang of sympathy , But youve already paid the price , sdgared everything away Lemira thought of her past life , indeed , She had died once , already paid her dues .
Sharing these thoughts made her feel significantly lighter .
She realized she was leaning on his shoulder , his arm naturally placed on the step behind her , making it look as if he was holding her .
She looked down , not moving .
Neither of them spoke , maintaining the pose .
Lemiras heartbeat quickened uncontrollably , worried he might hear it , she panickedly looked up , Is it almost time ? Just then , Orion looked down , his lips brushing across her forehead .
Neither had expected this .
Lemira scrambled to her feet , We should head to the meeting .
Her foot missed a step , and he quickly pulled her into his arms , Be careful .
Her cheeks flushed a deep red .
They were so close , the space around them tight and silent .
Now , it was just the two of them , and the sound of their mingling heartbeats .
She looked up , their eyes locking .
The distance between them slowly shrinking .
