When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 503

Lemira was curious but chose not to press for more information. After all, she barely knew Ms. Sinclair.

Sophia, however, couldn't help but notice the blush on Lemira's cheeks and the rosy gloss on her lips. Suppressing her own bitterness, she asked, "Ms. Langston, did you come to the gym alone?"

"No," Lemira replied, heading straight to the locker room without elaborating.

Sophia watched her retreating figure, feeling a pang of jealousy. She made her way to the boxing area, where she finally spotted Orion.

Unable to hold back, Sophia approached him. "Orie, why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

Orion's expression turned noticeably colder upon seeing her. "Why would I be avoiding you?"

"Then why haven't you answered any of my calls?"

"If it's work-related, just contact the company's person in charge. I don't see any reason for us to be talking on the phone," Orion replied, his tone icy and clear.

Sophia's eyes welled up with tears. "Is it because of that girl that you're drawing a line between us?"
