When They Beg, I Rise!

"Ms. Lemira, get a doctor, quick! The boss must've passed out from something serious."

Lemira coughed, "No need for a doctor."

"Ms. Lemira, this is no time for jokes."

"I'm not joking. I knocked him out myself."

Lemira looked a bit uneasy, "He took my phone and wouldn't let me leave."

Hogan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The boss didn't want to keep you here against your will, he just wanted you to stay a bit longer."

"But they never cared about what I wanted. Did they ever ask if I wanted to stay with them?"

Hogan gave a wry smile, "I know, I tried to tell the boss before, but he wouldn't listen. Regret doesn't help now."

Knowing she couldn't leave, Lemira felt increasingly frustrated.

Soon, Lucian came to, and upon seeing Lemira sitting on the couch, his face lit up with surprise, "Lemmy, you're still here?"

Lemira replied coolly, "I'm going back to rest."

"Sure, have something to eat first. I'll have Hogan drive you back."

"I've lost my appetite sitting with you. I just want to go back now."

Lemira was out of patience.
