Orion took a deep breath, trying to keep his cool. "Don't let his words get to you."

Lemira had calmed down quite a bit now, taking a sip of water. "I only asked him one thing, but he didn't even answer."

"What did you ask?"

Orion's heart tightened, more than it ever did during business negotiations.

Lemira hesitated for a moment before looking at him. Considering he also knew Matthew and seemed to be on good terms, maybe Orion would have the answer? Matthew must have dropped out of the finals for someone important.

"Do you not trust me?" Orion asked, looking her straight in the eye.

"No, it's just... I was curious if someone could make him drop out of the finals."

Lemira felt her question was a bit inappropriate.

After hearing her, Orion found it odd. "Why would you ask something like that?"

"Just curious, that's all."
