Lemira's expression was the picture of calm, "I don't think there's much to talk about."

"Lemmy, I know you're upset. Alaric really crossed the line today. I'll make it right for you. Are you really going to let it drive a wedge between you and the whole family?" Lemira couldn't help but laugh.

Didn't the whole family always take Evelina's side?

She replied coolly, "Doesn't make a difference to me."

As Lemira walked to the curb to hail a cab, she saw a familiar car pull up in front of her.

She knew who it was.

The window rolled down, and Orion's gaze met hers, "Get in."

Lemira opened the passenger door and got in. Just as she closed the door, Lucian approached, "Lemmy, I know you've had a rough day. How about we catch up some other time?" Lemira pressed her lips together, "We'll see."

Orion hit the gas and they drove away, leaving Lucian awkwardly standing there. He turned to the Reapers' coach, "Michel, Lemmy's not going to sign with your team. You might as well give up." "All this confidence from the Langston family, why so scared of a competition? Never seen such blatant favoritism."

Michel, however, was looking in the direction Lemira had left.
