When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 127



When Orion laid eyes on Lemira that morning, there was a hint of awkwardness in his demeanor.

He straightened out his robe, trying to sound indifferent, "You're up?"

"Yeah, just feeling a bit woozy."

Orion hesitated before asking, "Remember anything you did last night?"

Lemira racked her brain but ultimately shook her head, "No clue. Did I embarrass myself or something?"

No way!

Orion took a deep look at Lemira, knowing well she couldn't hide what was on her mind.

It was clear she genuinely had no memory of last night's events.

He had been up all night worrying about it.

Now, he realized he might have overthought the situation.

Orion let out a sigh of relief, "Getting drunk late at night can be dangerous. Try to avoid drinking from now on."

Lemira mumbled, embarrassed, "I didn't mean to drink that much. I just wanted a couple of sips."

Orion's gaze narrowed slightly, "Alcohol can dumb you down, not that you need any help with that."

Lemira felt a sting from his words.

Yet, she noticed him coming over with a glass of honey water, his voice cold, "Drink this."

"Thanks."

Lemira took a few sips, sneaking glances at Orion, "I've noticed you're actually quite considerate. Any girl would be lucky to have you as a boyfriend." Hearing this, Orion's expression grew more intense, "I'm not planning on that any time soon."

"Not interested in dating? Why, too busy with work?"

Lemira was curious, especially after seeing him once at a diner with a girl.

Orion, sensing her curiosity, feigned a stern face, "My standards are high, haven't found the right one yet."

Lemira peeked at him, "What are your standards then?"

"Why so nosy, kid? You'll understand when you're in college. Everyone's different."

"Oh, okay then."

Lemira's hopes, momentarily lifted, plummeted again.

After all, Orion was handsome and successful; surely many girls liked him.

With nothing to her name, she felt she couldn't meet any of his standards.

Orion glanced at her downcast look, "I've got to step out."

"Alright then."

As she watched him leave, Lemira curled up on the couch, feeling utterly dejected.

She had always known, deep down, that there was no chance with Orion.

Not just because of the age gap, but also their lack of communication Having never been in a relationship,

Lemia didn't even know where to start.

Feeling restless later in the afternoon, Lemira logged into her gaming account and noticed a

significant increase in her feet

The community headline read: "Famous Streamer SweetLemon Revealed to be Ms. Langston!"

She knew her identity would come out after participating in the event.

She wasn't interested in hiding anything.

Being exposed might even clear up any rumors about her having a sugar daddy.

Lemira invited her friend Jessica to team up for a game.

Jessica exclaimed, "Evelina was slandering you in her stream. Unbelievable!" Lemira checked out the video Jessica sent.

Evelina, looking frail and victimized with bandages and plasters, tearfully said to her audience, "Lemmy, even though you won't answer calls or texts, and refuse to contact your· family still want to tell you publicly that your brothers are worried about you. The incident at the party was just an accident. Please, don't be mad. Come back!"

Many fans commented: [Sweetheart Evie, don't cry. It breaks my heart.]
