too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 185

Cedric observed Kieran carefully as they spoke, but the man's expression remained unchanged. It seemed, as Cole claimed, that Kieran really was just passing by.

But Cedric wasn't convinced. Kieran was not the kind of person with idle time to kill.

Cole, however, was fully aware of the reason for their visit. They were here to ensure Lila was adapting to her new environment. It was also to subtly remind Magi Pictures to take her seriously, although, realistically, the latter wasn't much of a concern.

After all, Magi Pictures was Kieran's enterprise. While he didn't micromanage, he was undoubtedly well-informed about its operations.

Still, Cole thought it was better to make a point. Back when Lila was with Nexus Entertainment, Kieran couldn't intervene. Now, with her under his own roof, there was no harm in offering her more opportunities.

Cole chuckled softly to himself. Their boss truly doted on Lila—a model uncle!

He added lightly, "Didn't Magi Pictures recently sign on a new agent, Lila Hart? I heard she also brought along two of her artists."

"How's Lila's performance so far?" Cole added, careful not to make it seem like an outright recommendation.

As expected, Kieran's eyes flashed with a hint of approval, subtle but noticeable. Cole lifted his chin slightly, feeling rather proud as he felt that he was his boss' right-hand man.

Cedric mulled over the question briefly before replying, "Based on my observations so far, she's even more capable than I initially thought. She managed to secure a partnership with the Joyce Group for her two newcomers. From what I hear, it's a well-funded project and a great opportunity."

Michael, seated nearby, let out a soft hiss. "Lila Hart? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Liam whispered, "She was Dorian's agent back in the day."

Michael's eyes widened, his voice rising slightly in astonishment. "You're telling me we poached the agent who helped build his career?"
