Lemira always felt that Orion had an air of mystery about him.

When she couldn't help but ask, Orion simply answered, "Yeah, the place you're living in is his."

A best friend was always there to take the hit.

Orion then headed to a private room next door, and a waiter walked in respectfully, "Mr. Everhart, here's the menu."

Orion took a seat at the back, leaning casually in his chair with part of his arm exposed.

Lemira didn't take the menu either, "Just bring us some of your house specials."
