22:39 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Listen up , Ill only say this once . Orion grabbed the pen , scribbling on a piece of scrap paper while solving problems . Lemira froze , her gaze fixed on the man in front of her , her emotions suddenly a whirlwind of complexity . Because of Evelina , she found herself without friends , even the teachers seemed to keep their distance . No one had ever taken the time to explain things to her before . Orions gaze was distant , With your attention span , I wont feel strange that you daydream through class ! Lemira snapped back to reality , murmuring an apology , Sorry , Ill pay attention . At the sight of her subdued response , Orions Adams apple bobbed as he continued to explain . s evening approached , the warm glow of the lamp enveloped them . Lemira sat , while he stood beside her , one hand bracing the table as he walked her through the solution process . Cant you see the pattern ? Its the same as the last one . This questions trick is so obvious , cant you see it ? Are your eyes just for decoration ? Have you ever had your IQ tested ? Are you sure its up to par ? Try again ! His tone was flat , but his words were sharp , cutting deep . Luckily , Lemira knew of his reputation because of the sharp tongue , or she might have crumbled under the pressure . Yet , Lemira persevered . She packed up her completed homework , Thanks , Dr. Everhart , youre amazing for remembering all this . Orion twirled his pen , eyeing her curiously , Dont your folks have a tutor for you ? Lemira pouted slightly , I dont want to owe them anything . Tutoring fees were a fortune , and she didnt want to ask the Langstons for money . Orion watched her delicate profile , her emotions hidden behind her drooping eyelids . Lemira looked up cautiously , Dr. Everhart , can I come to you with questions in the future ? The man turned , his voice awkward , Im busy . Despite being rejected , Lemira didnt get upset . She neatly packed her bag . Orion tapped the desk , adding , Depends on my mood . Lemira smiled , Thank you , Dr. Everhart , you are my mentor ! Without waiting for a response , she grabbed her backpack and ran off . Squinting his eyes , Orion smiled lazily , thinking teaching her was a way to pass the time . Lemira arrived home , the night having already settled in . The butler approached her , The young master and Ms. Sterling went out for dinner , so they wont be joining you tonight . Lemira headed to the dining room for a meal , enjoying the rare moment of peace . Checking her phone , she saw Evelinas Facebook post : Out for a big meal with my brothers . Evelina and the brothers were all there in the picture , their smiles dripping with affection for Evelina . Lemira glanced at it before swiftly closing Facebook , focusing on her dinner instead . The next morning , Lemira went down for breakfast , finding only Evelina at the table . Evelina boasted quietly , I made a lot of progress at the team training yesterday . Lemira ate her breakfast expressionlessly , ignoring Evelinas bragging . Evelina seemed in high spirits , not minding Lemiras cold demeanor . Despite her calm exterior , Lemira was seething inside . She quickly finished her breakfast and headed out , only to see the chauffeur standing there , motionless , Ms. Sterling hasnt come out yet . We will wait for her . After waiting over ten minutes with no sign of Evelina , Lemira grew restless , If she doesnt come soon , well be late ! She was finding it increasingly difficult to tolerate everything about the Langstons . Deciding not to wait any longer , Lemira opened the car door , only for Caspian to emerge , What harm is there in waiting a bit longer for Eve ? Her dad once saved your life , and he didnt abandon you . And now you cant even wait a few more minutes for Eve ? 1/2 22:39 Chapter 14 Lemiras grip tightened on the door handle .
