When They Beg, I Rise!

Was he spying on Lemira again?

That's off-limits.

Dorian clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Cut it out."

But when he looked up again, Lemira and her crew had vanished.

Must've been his imagination.

Only then did Dorian coax Evelina: "What else would I be looking at? Who could be prettier than my treasure? Just curious what Lemira's boyfriend looks like, that's all." "He's pretty handsome, but broke as a joke, taking her to some dive for their dates."

Evelina was in a good mood, "Then you better take me to Bistrova, I want to snap a few pics for Facebook."

Upon arriving at Bistrova, Dorian was surprised to find out there were no tables available.

"I had a reservation, used my cousin's card," Dorian argued.

"Mr. Draven instructed not to let you use his card anymore."

Dorian's pride took a hit, and he called Thaddeus, "Cuz, why can't I use your card anymore?"

"I told you to stay out of the whole Lemira thing, did you listen? And then spreading rumors in the lawyer circles, who do you think you are?"

Thaddeus gave Dorian a piece of his mind and hung up.

Dorian's expression turned sour.
