When They Beg, I Rise!

She blushed and tried to wriggle out of his embrace, but he held her tight. His chin rested gently on her shoulder. "Just a little longer, okay?" he murmured.

"But everyone's already here. It's not exactly the best look," Lemira mumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Orion still didn't release her. "They've been here for a while. A few more minutes won't hurt," he reassured her.

Lemira stayed put, her cheeks flushed, listening to the steady, strong rhythm of his heartbeat. The memory of their recent kiss had left her mind blank, unable to think of anything else. Eventually, Orion loosened his grip.

Lemira, still red-faced, said, "I-I'll go check outside."

Her retreat was almost like a hasty escape, and Orion chuckled softly as he watched her leave.

Stepping outside, Lemira took a deep breath and patted her cheeks, trying to regain her composure. It wasn't polite to keep people waiting too long.

Sure enough, she saw the PR team from TG Group jogging on the treadmills.

Debby spotted Lemira and came over. "I saw you two were busy, so we didn't want to interrupt. And we figured a little exercise wouldn't hurt," she said with a smile.

Lemira felt a bit guilty. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"No worries," Debby replied. "Arranging meetings at the gym is pretty smart- sneak in some exercise during work hours."

Lemira at ease. Honestly, who would dare interrupt when the heir to the Everhart fortune is having a moment with his girlfriend? Besides, with Orion involved, was there anything that couldn't be sorted
