When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 378

She looked up in surprise, "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me? Disappointed to see me?"

Orion leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on her.

Lemira leaned against the doorframe, "I thought Thaddeus would be here, not you. Looks like you're quite the dedicated consultant." "Come here, did you find any issues?"

Lemira walked over, standing in front of the desk, "I did find a small glitch. We'll need to have a meeting to sort it out."

Orion tapped on the desk, "Come take a look. Is it the same issue you found?"

He's testing too?

Lemira circled the desk to stand beside him.

Orion stood up, offering his seat to Lemira, then poured a glass of water and set it beside her.

Lemira scrolled the mouse, eyeing the error he pointed out, "I thought there was something off. You noticed it too." Admittedly, Orion had a bit of an edge over her.

He leaned in to look at the computer, "Actually, it's quite obvious."

Resting one hand on the edge of the desk, he calmly explained the issue, showing patience.

At first, Lemira listened intently, but then she turned her head, noticing their proximity.

He was leaning over, almost as if he was encircling her in his arms.

Suddenly, Lemira couldn't concentrate. She grabbed the glass of water and took a few sips, quenching her thirst. Orion then paused, glancing at the glass in her hand, "Thirsty?"

Lemira nodded.
