Vince nodded and didn't stay any longer, but he glanced at Amelia before leaving.
"Are you planning to keep avoiding Mr. Joyce?"
She rolled her eyes dramatically. "What else should I do? Go back and be engaged to him?"
Vince was dumbfounded.
He then turned and left.
Once he was far away, Amelia rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "This guy's actually not bad. He's handsome, capable... but..."
Jamie lifted her gaze, waiting for her to continue.
The dream of having Lila as a sister-in-law had already been shattered, but Amelia wasn't a bad choice either.
Meanwhile, Lila barely had time to rest, and Kieran came by more frequently.
"Isn't it too much for Uncle Kieran to come so often, considering how far the city is?" During a break on set, a few of them were chatting, and Jamie suddenly asked this.
Lila felt a little heartache over it, too. Filming had been going on for a month now, and Kieran had been coming every two days.
She had told him that once a week would be enough, and since the filming was progressing well, it should wrap up in about two and a half months.
According to the usual pattern, Kieran should have arrived today.
He usually came before lunch, but it was already 3:00 pm, and he still hadn't shown up.
Was he not coming today?
Lila's gaze shifted as she said, "I already mentioned this to Uncle Kieran a few days ago. He shouldn't be coming today."
After saying that, Lila suddenly remembered when she was in the early stages of dating Dorian.
During those years, she would constantly run around and stop by the set to see him.
People would always tease that Dorian spent every day either filming or waiting for her.
If he knew when she would arrive, his mood would lift noticeably.
They all said that Dorian really loved her.
Today, as she waited here, she felt a subtle sense of anticipation.
Lila froze for a moment.
