When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 627

After she was done, Lemira looked at the furious Asher. "The person who asked you to buy that was Evelina, not me."

"Lemira, are you crazy? Even if I got it wrong, how could you smash it in my face?"

Asher was livid, grabbing a tissue from his assistant to wipe his face.

Lemira smiled. "Well, now you should remember that Evelina is the one who likes this, not me. You should be thanking me!"

Seeing a taxi arrive, Lemira bent down and got in.

Asher shouted in frustration, "Lemira, get out of the car! I still have questions for you! Were you the one who deliberately brought Stella to Bistrova that day?"

Lemira looked out the car window. "The fact that Stella and I are roommates... you kept that quiet, didn't you?"

"It's not that I was hiding it from you! How was I supposed to know Stella hadn't told you who she was?"

Asher's voice lacked conviction. "But you should have told me you were bringing Stella to dinner beforehand."

If she had, Asher would never have let what happened that day occur.

Lemira's eyes were filled with scorn. "Tell you beforehand? Then I wouldn't have gotten to see such a good show. I should thank Evelina for this, too. She actually dared to wear someone else's dress. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two had something going on."

"Lemira, did you tell Stella that Eve and I had some kind of relationship?"

No wonder Stella had been so cold to him these past few days.

The AI project was at a critical investment stage; he couldn't afford to lose the Waverlies' support.

Asher's tone became serious. "I suggest you keep your mouth shut and stop spreading nonsense."

"And I suggest you don't bother trying to marry into wealth. You're not cut out for that life."

Hearing her words, Asher angrily reached out to pull Lemira from the car, but the driver stepped on the gas and sped away.

Lemira found Asher's enraged expression quite amusing.

Just then, her phone rang. She didn't have to guess who was calling.

Back then, Lucian company had poured everything into the AI project, and with her help, they had won the bid and successfully launched.

But no matter what, Maple Group currently had the upper hand.

Someone walked over to her. "The boss wants to see you in his office. Everyone else, meet in the conference room in ten minutes."

Lemira glanced at the data she had just compiled, having a rough idea of the problem.

She grabbed the printouts and headed to the office.

But when she saw Orion sitting in the chair, her pupils constricted. She had thought it would be Thaddeus.

He was also wearing a formal suit today, buttoned up meticulously to the top, giving him a restrained, almost ascetic air.

She had to admit, Orion looked good in a suit.

He looked up, his deep gaze locking onto her. "What are you standing at the door for? Afraid I'll eat you? Come in."
