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?"

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."
