Chapter 13 Chapter 13 When Lemira heard us all together , she couldnt help but scoff at the absurdity of the notion . It was a sentiment she had harbored in her previous life as well . But on the eve of the championship , her spot was replaced by Evelina . Lemira firmly replied , Im not planning on joining the team . I wanna focus on my studies and prepare for exams . Alaric mocked her , But you were the one begging me to teach you how to play games , chasing after me to train together at night , and even said you wanted to be an official member . Why didnt you say you preferred to study then ? Lemira felt a pang of hurt . She had pursued gaming with Alaric to build a better relationship with him , to have more in common ! But now , it seemed unnecessary . Lemira answered , I realized gaming was distracting me from my studies . My grades dropped significantly last semester , so I decided o quit . Alaric was left speechless , Fine , just dont regret it! When the competition starts , everyone will only see Evelina as a member of the Langston family . If Lemira was going to be ungrateful , then fine , he didnt care . Thats fine by me . Lemira didnt want to argue any further and walked away from the dining room . Back in her room , she adjusted her mood and started doing her homework attentively , revisiting concepts she had forgotten . The next day after school . Lemira and Evelina left one after the other to the school gates , where their chauffeur was waiting . Evelina stood by the car and said , Oh , I have to head to the training camp today , so the chauffeur will drop me off first . Looks like we cant share a ride . The chauffeur spoke up with a stern face , Ms. Langston , I received a call from Mr. Alaric Langston , instructing me to drop Ms. Sterling off first . We cant delay . Lemira nonchalantly replied , Ill take a cab . As Evelina got into the car , a hint of excitement showed on her face , Lemmy , Ill talk to Ari for you . Lemira turned and walked away , leaving Evelina with a view of her retreating figure . Evelina bit her lip as she watched , thinking , Lemira , just you wait . One day , Ill take everything from you ! You owe me that ! Standing bored on the sidewalk , Lemira suddenly didnt feel like returning to the Langston mansion . Maybe she should look for a study hall near the school . Hey , schools out . Why arent you heading home instead of loitering around here ? Lemira turned to see a handsome man , stunned for a moment , and after meeting that pair of eyes , recognized him . It was the school doctor with a sharp tongue . He usually wore a mask and a white coat , but now changed to another attire , which almost threw her off . Orion stood before her , I asked you a question . I dont feel like going back right now . I was looking for a place to study . Follow me . Lemira looked at his back ; hesitant at first , she followed him anyway . They ended up at the schools infirmary , and she questioned standing at the door , Why are we here ? Im not sick . Orion tapped the desk , Its quieter and safer here than any study hall . After thinking it over , Lemira thought it made sense . She put her backpack down , Thank you for offering the place then . She took out her textbooks and got to work . Orion glanced at her , his gaze cool , before turning to enter the consulting room , closing the door behind him . When Lemira realized how late it had gotten , she saw a nameplate on the desk with Orions picture , revealing his name . Done snooping ? Caught in the act , Lemira blushed and put the nameplate back , I wasnt snooping . Just saw it by accident . Finished with your homework ? Yeah , some questions I couldnt solve . Ill ask the teacher tomorrow . 1/2 22.39 Orion walked over to her , and took her workbook , You dont know how to solve these simple questions ? Lemira felt a bit discouraged , looking down at the textbook , Yeah , I got sidetracked by other things and didnt concentrate on my studies before .
