When They Beg, I Rise!

But the guy just wouldn't give up. "Hey there, gorgeous. You're totally my type. How about we swap digits? I'm single, doing pretty well for myself, and looking for a smart girl to settle down with." Lemira, growing increasingly impatient, shot back, "Not interested. Please, stop bothering me."

"How's this bothering you? Look at you, can't even afford a personal trainer. Must mean you're not exactly rolling in dough. But hey, stick with me, and you could be looking at a future with a few million in the bank for our kid to inherit." The young man stood up and moved behind Lemira, "Here, let me show you how to do it."

Lemira quickly grabbed his hand and twisted it sharply.

The man cried out in pain, "Let go!"

With a cold stare, Lemira retorted, "Clearly, you didn't check yourself out in the mirror this morning. Typical chump!"

After her sharp rebuke, she let go of his hand.

Lemira wiped her hands on her pants, feeling disgusted by the encounter.

The young man, now infuriated, spat, "Playing the innocent, huh? I know all about you college girls. Pretend to be pure as snow, but deep down, you're all gold diggers. Been with several like you, a bit of cash, and off go the clothes." Lemira, without a word, opened her water bottle and doused him with it.

"Rinse your mouth out, it reeks."

"Feisty, I like that. Just name your price. How's $5,000 a month sound?"

Lemira was at her breaking point. She glanced up at the gym's surveillance cameras.

Time to find a blind spot.

The rule was to avoid getting physical, but if you had to, make sure it wasn't caught on camera.

She walked ahead, the man eagerly following, "If you're a virgin, I might even go up to $10,000."

Lemira led him to a safety corridor, a blind spot from the cameras.

She beckoned him with a finger.

Noticing the privacy, the man grew excited, "Oh, you're into this sort of thing? Why didn't you say so earlier!" The next moment, Lemira's fist connected with his face.

She had never encountered someone so vile.

Conveniently, there was a mop bucket nearby. She grabbed it and dumped the water over his head.

Looking down at him, she remarked, "With a mouth as foul as yours, it's about time someone cleaned it out." "I'll call the police, I'll sue! My teeth are gone!"

He cupped his mouth, feeling his loosened teeth. Upon touching them, they fell out.

Lemira clapped her hands together, "Go ahead, call them. I'll just tell the cops you were harassing me, and I defended myself. The cameras caught your behavior perfectly. Who do you think they'll believe?"

The man on the ground wailed, "I won't let you get away with this. My lawyers will have you behind bars! You see how scary the world can be with money!"

Lemira couldn't help but laugh.

Such a drama king! Was he auditioning for a soap opera?

Soon, a male trainer rushed over, "Mr. Jones, what happened?"

"This woman assaulted me! Is this how you treat your wealthy clients?"novelbin

The trainer looked at Lemira, "What's going on here? Why did you hit him?" "He was harassing me."

"Huh, I've seen plenty of girls like you. Claim to be from prestigious colleges but are just gold diggers at heart, swooning over rich guys."

"Yeah. She agreed to it, then suddenly demanded $10,000 a month!"

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

After all, in these situations, it's usually the women who end up getting blamed.

A stern voice cut through the chatter, "Talking about keeping someone and you think you're someone special?"

Orion, with a steely expression, walked over and stood by Lemira, his tone softening, "You okay?"

Lemira shook her head.

The young man shouted, "She agreed to be kept by me! But she's not even a virgin. Why should she get $10,000?" Orion's expression darkened.

He turned around and delivered a swift, heavy punch.
