Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Lemiras interest was piqued instantly . They stealthily hid behind , watching as Alaric and his team went on their monster hunt . After all , taking down the big Boss was no easy feat ; it required the teams coordination , and by the end , they were usually hanging on by a thread . Typically , with a team as renowned as theirs , nobody dared to snatch the Boss from them . But there were exceptions . Lemira had strategized for it before ; she knew exactly when to strike . She and Orion worked seamlessly together , swooping in at the last moment to deliver the final blow . They successfully snatched the Boss away from Alaric and his team . The world channel broadcasted , Congrats to SweetLemon for defeating the Boss . Seeing this , Alaric was livid , ranting into his headset , What the heck were you all doing , letting someone steal our Boss ? Evelina added fuel to the fire , These two seem like newbies . Dont they know who we are ? Daring to steal our Boss . Fuming , Alaric commanded , Take them down ! However , it wasnt long before Alarics screen turned grayscale , followed by the rest of his team meeting their demise on the ground . Alaric had a nagging feeling about SweetLemon ; whose gameplay reminded him a lot of Lemira . Could it be her , using a new account to snipe their Boss ? No , Lemira couldnt be that skilled yet . Meanwhile , having snatched the Boss , Lemira and Orion also acquired the loot . But the thrill of besting Alaric and Evelina was the real prize for them ! After gaming for a while , their delivery arrived . Orion paused , Lets eat . Lemira noticed a small cake among their order , identical to the one Evelina had received earlier in the day . She glanced at him , Why did you get a cake ? Dont all you girls like it ? Consider it a reward for a job well done , you didnt embarrass me ! Lemira felt a wave of emotion . Orion , looking slightly awkward , added coldly on purpose , Besides , it came free with the order . Lemira took the small cake , her very own cake . She took a bite , her eyes downcast , her heart tumultuous . Orion observed her bowed head and silence , his Adams apple bobbing , Is the cake not good ? Hows that possible ? Its supposed to be a crowd favorite . Lemira nodded , Its delicious . Its been a long time since someone bought me a cake . Ever since her parents passed away , she stopped celebrating her birthdays . Her brothers never remembered she liked cake ; there was never a slice for her . Orions gaze landed on her , You dont celebrate your birthday with cake ? Lemira was silent before sharing , My parents died in a car accident on my birthday . So since then , Ive stopped celebrating . That day turned into a day of mourning . The atmosphere at home was always heavy on that day . She never felt entitled to celebrate her own birthday . Orion felt a sting in his chest , struggling to breathe . He turned away , his lips pressed thin , his face a mix of anger and guilt , his hands clenched , the vein bulging . Lemira sensed the mood shift , and pretended to be casual as she looked up , Honestly , I dont mind if I celebrate my birthday or Im not in the mood anyway . How could she celebrate on the day she lost her parents ? It was her parents deathday , after all . Orion managed to control his emotions , looking at her serene face , as meek as a lamb . Her demure presence , so sensible , sparked both frustration and helplessness . He cleared his throat , his voice slightly rough , Its getting late , you should head back . Girls shouldnt linger outside . I understand . Can I come here to see you again ? Lemira gazed at him , her eyes filled with uncertainty . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
