Once Lemira let loose with her dancing, she instantly drew a crowd's attention.
In no time, she becthe center of attention. Orion, seeing this, couldn't help but feel helpless, thinking to himself that he knew he shouldn't have let her drink, not even cocktails.

She had been stringing Dorian along without any real intention of committing.
But today, after receiving a call that might have been from her father, she panicked at the thought of losing the Langstons' backing. She realized she needed to secure a rich boyfriend and get married quickly. Coincidentally, Dorian had declared his affection at the bar that evening, and Evelina reluctantly accepted.
Evelina gritted her teeth, "Dorian, let's go dance too." "Sure." Dorian kept his eyes on the girl dancing in the middle of the floor, but he had to be subtle because of Evelina. After all, he had just won her over and not bonked her yet.
Soon, Lemira noticed Dorian and Evelina approaching with her peripheral vision.
What a buzzkill.
Turning, Lemira headed towards Orion, but a sleazy guy blocked her path, "Hey foxy lady, you've got ssexy moves. How about a drink? It's on me." "Don't need it." Lemira declined promptly, but the man persisted, "Con, you're here alone anyway. You already cto this bar, don't be such a prude." "Who says I'm alone?"

He's not really your boyfriend, is he?" "Who said that?" Lemira promptly looped her arm through Orion's, "Does this prove it?" Orion froze on the spot. Despite the deafening music, he could feel his heartbeat out of sync. Seeing this, the sleazy guy finally walked away.
Lemira breathed a sigh of relief, and then realizing what she had done, looked up at the man in front of her, "Um, was just trying to get rid of that sleazy guy's harassment."
At that moment, she felt she had been too bold. Maybe it was because of the slight buzz from the alcohol, or the music and atmosphere that she had dared to act this way. Orion's gaze was like a whirlpool, seemingly able to draw people in. Lemira felt uneasy under his stare, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." She was panicking inside, filled with regret.
With so many people around, Orion pulled Lemira into his arms, his voice m low and husky, "Now you see how chaotic it can get here. Don't cto places like this anymore!"
