What does that make her now?

As Lemira wandered across the street, lost in thought, she failed to notice when the traffic light changed. Cars started moving towards the crosswalk.

"Watch out, Captain!"

Suddenly, someone pulled Lemira back, snapping her back to reality. She watched a car speed past her, and a cold sweat broke out on her skin.

Looking up, she recognized the guy who had pulled her back; he was a member of her gaming team. "Thank you."

"Captain, you don't look well. Do you need a lift to the hospital or something?"

"No, I'm fine."

Lemira forced a small smile, but inside, her emotions were a tangled mess.

The guy walked with her across the street. "Captain, is something bothering you? Maybe I could help?"

Lemira lowered her gaze. "Do you have training at the base this morning?"

"Yeah, I do."

So Lemira headed to the team's base as well. Not many were there for practice that early.

Feeling restless, she booted up her computer and glanced at the young man. "You just joined us recently, right? Need some guidance?"

"Absolutely, Captain! I'd love your help."

The boy with a youthful face settled beside her, logging into his game account. When Lemira saw his in-game name, she was taken aback. "You're called Time Rewind too?"

"Yeah, I know it's a bit out there. I've been teased about it. But Captain, you mentioned someone else has this name?"

"Yes, a friend of mine."

The name and character class were identical to someone she knew in another life. Could it really be him?

"Why are you staring at me like that, Captain?"

"It's nothing. Have you always used this username?"

"Yep, since high school. I picked it randomly and never bothered to change."

Lemira was distracted during their dungeon run. She realized this guy was really skilled.

Afterward, she looked at him, her feelings conflicted. "You're impressive. Why haven't you joined a team before?"

"Family stuff. My grandma's been Read full story at Fɪnd-Novel.net

That sounded familiar. The person she knew before had a similar story about their grandma.

Could she have mistaken Timothy for Orion?

Just then, Janice approached.

"Lemira, wanted to introduce you to

aur new star player Timothy He's

from the computer science department. He's really good."

"I've noticed."

Feeling even more unsettled, Lemira stood up. "You guys keep training. I need to handle something in the office."

Back in her office, she buried her face in her hands.

Was fate playing some cruel joke on her?

Her phone buzzed with a message from Orion: "Got caught up last night, sorry for the late reply."

She had been eagerly waiting for his response.

But now, it felt like a slap in the face.

Got caught up?

Lemira remembered how Orion often used that excuse, and she never doubted him.

But last night, he was clearly with Sophia.

Thinking about their recent interactions, her chest tightened with frustration. She wanted to confront him to demand what he saw her as

His secret lover? Or just someone on the side?

Her hands trembled as she typed on her phone: "Why do you keep leading me on

when you have a fiancée?"
