When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 572

Lemira hadn't planned on asking too many questions, but things were different now between her and Orion.

Orion nodded, "Yeah, my mom asked her to come, but we're not really close."

So that's how it was.

Lemira thought about how Sophia also knew Thaddeus. They probably all ran in the same circles.

Back in the private room, Lemira resumed eating. She hadn't quite satisfied her hunger earlier.

Orion, on the other hand, was lost in thought, replaying the scene from before. Mrs. Amanda hadn't outed him in public, which was a relief.

He watched Lemira eat, hesitating all the while.

Once Lemira finished, she noticed Orion's troubled expression. "What's on your mind?"

"I have a friend who's in a bit of a situation."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Lemira wondered if this friend was Thaddeus.

"My friend comes from a pretty well-off family. He started dating someone but hasn't told her about his background. Now he's unsure if he should come clean."
