Sophia''s heart sank the moment she saw how guarded he was.


    Justst night, Susanna had told her that she saw Orion carrying a girl out of a bar, but she hadn''t believed it.


    Finding out that Orion was staying at a hotel, she had rushed over. And now, the truth was undeniable!


    Sophia knew it was her own wishful thinking, trying to please Orion''s mother and spreading rumors of an engagement with Orion, all for a chance to be with him. But deep down, she was well aware of Orion''s indifference towards her.


    Orion gave Sophia a cold look, not uttering a single word. Too intimidated to approach further or dare to barge into his room.


    At that moment, a waiter pushed a cart over. Orion took over the cart, ncing at Sophia, "Excuse me."


    Sophia instinctively stepped back, her heart not ready to give up, "Orie, I just..."


    Orion shut the door without saying a word, from start to finish. He pushed the cart to where Lemira was.


    Lemira nced at the door, "Who were you talking to just now?"N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    It sounded like a woman''s voice.


    Orion''s voice was even, "Room service."


    He handed Lemira a bag of clothes, "Get changed first."


    Lemira took the bag, but realized she was stark naked. How was she supposed to change?


    Orion turned around, "Go on, I won''t look."


    Blushing, Lemira grabbed the bag, noticing even the underwear was prepared. She quickly changed and coughed, "I''m done."


    Orion turned back, pushing the breakfast cart towards her, "Eat something first."


    Lemira nced at the breakfast, realizing she was actually hungry. Sitting on the bed, she began to eat, sneaking a nce at him, "Aren''t you going to eat?" Just then, Orion''s phone rang.


    "I need to take this call."


    He stepped out to the balcony, his voice turning callous, "Speak."


    "How did things go with Lemonst night?"


    Orion looked a bit stiff, "Don''t ask what you shouldn''t, curiosity killed the cat!"


    "Come on, don''t tell me you actually slept with Lemon, what now?"


    "No, I wouldn''t touch her."


    "Good that you''re still sensible. She can''t be with you, be aware."


    Orion nced back at the figure eating at the table, his gaze softening evidently.


    His voice tinged with bitterness, "I know."


    He was more aware of this than anyone else. Yet, he felt trapped between a rock and a hard ce.


    Orion changed the subject, "How''s the investigation fromst night?"


    "It''s connected to the Sinir family. Evelina is attending the Business School, same ss as Sophia''s sister. She deliberately stirred


    trouble making Lemon offen


    Susanna, leading tost night''s bar incident."


    Orion thought about Sophia showing up at the hotel. He spoke, his voice deepened, "Did you take care of Susanna''s bodyguards? Make sure they keep quiet."


    "You don''t have to mention it. That''s already handled, but the Sinirs might know you''re seeing someone else since Susanna saw you teaving with Lemon in your arms."


    Orion massaged his temples, "We can''t let her existence be known; it''s not good for her!"


    He knew Lemira wanted to break free from the Langston family todive her own life. If their rtionship was exposed, she''d face endless


    troubles. He didn''t want to ruin her life


    "That''s manageable. But about Lemon being set up, what do you n to do? If we hadn''t been therest night, things could''ve turned ugly."


    "Didn''t you say Susanna was a bully in school, even causing some serious trouble? Leak the worst incident, let the Sinirs discipline their daughter!" Orion knew Lemira didn''t want him to intervene. But that didn''t mean he would do nothing!
