Chapter 316

Orion slid the menu back across the table, a casual gesture as he said, "Let her pick."

The manager at The Cozy Corner Bistro raised an eyebrow in surprise at Lemira, who seemed a bit out of place. What was her connection to this gentleman? Quickly regaining composure, the manager asked, "The usual wine for the table?"

Orion declined without a beat, "No wine today, let's go with some fruit juices."

Acknowledging with a nod, the manager took the menu and carefully exited the private dining room.

Orion turned his attention to Lemira, "So, what's up with calling Thaddeus out for lunch?"

He knew Lemira well enough to know she wouldn't ask Thaddeus to lunch without a good reason.

Lemira paused before revealing, "I'm now the team leader for Orvin Team."

"Congratulations, Lemon! That's great news, definitely calls for a celebration." Lemira nodded in agreement, "Yeah."

Orion watched her, "That's it? Nothing else?"

"Nope, just a lunch. You two are pretty much my only friends here."

Lemira tactfully avoided mentioning her investment plans.
