Chapter 41

At that moment, Lemira sat in the car with Orion, her gaze drifting over the stream of vehicles around them. She couldn't help but worry aloud, "Lucian is definitely going to send people to look for me. He might even cause trouble for you at school." After all, this was Langston territory. This was precisely why she had been holding back, hoping to leave after the exam.

Lemira felt guilty for dragging Orion into her mess.

The man couldn't help but pat her head, "Don't worry, they won't find you. What you need to think about now is: where will you stay?"

Lemira sighed, "Guess I'll have to rent a place."

It's something she had thought about but never had the chance to act on. She almost wished Lucian had kicked her out earlier so she wouldn't have to worry about all it. "I know a place that's up for rent."

Lemira didn't ask any more questions and followed him to the apartment complex.

It's a nice place. As she stepped into the apartment, she couldn't help but comment on the interior, "This place must be expensive, right? I'm pretty broke at the moment!" "Money's not an issue. It belongs to a friend of mine. He's not living here anyway. You live here to help him house-sit. Technically, if we get down to it, he should be paying you."
