Chapter 154

"I kinda figured as much."

"Well, if you knew, there was no need for you to go down there."

His tone was domineering, almost like a command.

A rebellious streak surged within Lemira, her lips pressed slightly, "I'll be right back, don't wait up." After that, she closed the door behind her. Orion watched her leave, his gaze lingering on the door. He massaged his temples in frustration. Was she throwing a tantrum against him? He moved to the balcony for a better view of the building's entrance. Sure enough, there stood Alaric, standing next to his car.

Orion rested his hand on the railing, his eyes fixed on the entrance.

It wasn't long before Lemira came into view, her figure small and her pace slow. After watching her for a moment, Orion turned back into the room. Lemira's emotions were a whirlwind. Had she been too obvious? She couldn't help but glance back at the apartment, only to find the balcony now empty.

Feeling a pang of disappointment, she forced herself to look away. She couldn't afford to dwell on Orion now. It wasn't right.
