too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 15

Lila quickened her pace and called out, "Mr. Foster."

She then greeted everyone with a gentle smile, "Hello, everyone!" 

Her long, straight hair was tied low with a simple hair tie. A few strands of hair fell around her face, softening her features.

"So, you're the student Mr. Foster raves about? I've heard all about you, and it's great to finally meet you! I've known Mr. Foster for years, but I've never seen him speaking so softly before," joked Samuel Grant, the film's director.

Samuel was one of Taylor's students and shared his meticulous approach to work. However, he had been somewhat unlucky. He lost two international awards to unexpected competitors and dealt with a few artist scandals that cost him a bit of money.

Fortunately, he had real talent and some financial backing. This time, he was making a comeback. He had spared no expense, even inviting Taylor to help.

Lila respected his resilience and replied politely, "Mr. Foster often sings your praises to us."

Taylor chuck and pulled her aside protectively. “Without conte am, be is supposed to be your senine. III’m not amend, don’t beutate to ask him for help 

Mterabit more small talk, Taylor led her aside: “Lila, there’s something I want in talk to jomu alent 

He lowered his head, alusest as if he were a student who had done something wrong. With just one sentence, Lila understood what he was going to say, “Mr. Foster, know what you’re getting at. I understand where you and Mex. Foster stand, but I’mafraid I love to disappoint you There’s no longer a porobility between Therian and me. 

Tayler besitated, but sering her determined and confident demens, he seemed to be reminded of herniversity days. 

He sighed beavily. “I had known, I should have stopped Camille hom playing matchmaker in the first place.” 

“Mr Bøster, I’ve never blamed either of you. Dorian and I were simply not meant to be”  She reassed in, her voice as clear and soothing 

He nodded 

“I’ll let Camille and Dorian know, but keep working hard. Although you’ve been a bit idle these past few years, you have a solid foundation 

“I still hope you can excel in directing. You will definitely achieve great things, far surpassing me. 

At this Taylor’s eyes lit up, and his cheerful expression må his wound face legle with excitement. 

“You and Dorian are both promising talents. You 

Just as Taylor was getting sentimental, he caught sight at Donan out of the comer of his eye. Upon seeing that he stopped speaking, Lila followed his gaze Doran stood there in a dark suit, his expression cold yet carrying an air of authority. The mood tumed heny. For reasons of his own, Taylor spoke up first 

“You have have a talk I’ll go check on 

Without giving Lila a chance to protest, he briskly walked off with surprising energy, leaving her both amuses and resigned. Despite understanding her decision, it seemed he still had to answer Camille 

Once he was far enough away, Dorian stepped closer, standing in the shadows with a deep gaze. He had just heard Taylor’s last remark. 

“Lila, if you want to get back together, at least show me some sincerity first.” 

She frowned, puzzled by how he had assumed she wanted to reconcile. Not wanting to talk to him, Lila tumed to leave but was caught by the wrist. 

“Lila, enough of your little games. 1 love you, and I wouldn’t stoop to using any tricks to make you compromise. If you keep acting this way, I can’t guarantee what I might do.” 

She looked back at tim, expressionless. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

Lila struggled to free her weist but couldn’t break away. “Let go!” Her voice was cold, he ice that had been building up for years. With her cold experton, she seemed to stand in a world of ice, making others instinctively backott. 

“Dorian, are you two arguing ** A sickly, sweet voice piped up brum behind, sending a shiver down Lila’s spine. 

Zare stood under the light, weaning hermal pale dress. Fortle walk–through, her hair was styled straight instead of herwaal gentle waves, making her. 

Why was she here? Sering Lila’s confusion, Zara Hushed a sweet smile.
