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.

She had dined here once in her past life and knew their menu was quite unique; it changed daily based on the chef's pick, so customers ate whatever was served. But the waiter handing the menu to Orion hinted at his friend's extraordinary status.
