too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 171

When Dorian heard the name Amelia called out, he instinctively looked forward, and his gaze met Lila's.

He clearly saw the smile on her face freeze. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he glanced around and noticed that everyone else was far away.

Lila was sitting alone in a separate spot as if she were isolated.

A hint of mockery flashed in Dorian's eyes. Someone like her came to Joyce Group to negotiate a collaboration? Lila was overestimating herself.

Following behind Amelia, he walked over with an air of arrogance, looking down at Lila with an obvious hint of pity.

It wouldn't take long before Lila would realize she was nothing without him. Who would spare her a second glance?

"I heard from Owen that you're here for the audition, so I came here specially for you. How's your preparation? Are you nervous?"

Lila set down the stuff she was holding and stood up, smiling at Amelia warmly. "Not really."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dorian chuckled. "You haven't pursued the path of directing since graduating. The only reason you got to film recently was because Mr. Foster and Dakota decided to keep you. Do you really think you'll be that lucky again this time?"

The mockery in his words was so blatant that even Amelia couldn't help but glance at him.

"You won't know unless you try," Amelia replied with a faint smile, her expression betraying nothing unusual.

Lila also smiled slightly. "Exactly, how will we know unless we try? Based on what you said just now, it almost seems like you know me well, Mr. Blake."

Dorian gave her a look, as if he was trying to ask her if what he said was wrong.

But noticing Amelia watching him, he changed his tone. "Well, good luck, then."

However, the contempt in his eyes was still evident.

Just as he finished speaking, the staff called Lila's name.
