too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 272

"There's a small town over there. Although you've been to many places, most were for work. Today is different. How about I take you to explore there?" Lila quickly explained, fearing that Kieran might misunderstand, which would be extremely awkward.

She looked at him, who quietly listened to her speak. For a moment, she wasn't sure what he was thinking.

She was about to say that it was fine if he was too busy. She had just come up with the idea on a whim.

"Sure," Kieran said, his deep, rich voice laced with a subtle smile, sounding like a cello's soft, resonant tones.

Lila let out a small sigh of relief. Seeing the smile in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile back.

"You go ahead and finish your work. I'll wait for you over here."

Hearing this, Lila felt even more at ease. After all, it was still over two hours until 6:00 pm.

She was sure she was the first one to ever make the Morgan Group's president wait idly.

As Lila started working, she would occasionally glance over at Kieran. When he arrived, he probably hadn't expected to have so much free time here.

Without a computer, he was just using his phone to reply to a few messages now and then.

This left Cole, who was back at the company, extremely busy. Not only did he have to manage the afternoon's work, but he also had to cancel tomorrow morning's meeting.

Originally, Cole had rescheduled this afternoon's meeting to tomorrow morning after learning that Kieran would be visiting Lila today.

But then came an unexpected bombshell.

He wouldn't come tomorrow morning either!

Lila had no idea that her spontaneous idea had caused a conflict for Cole.

She noticed that Kieran would watch the film whenever he had free time.

She wondered if it was because Kieran wasn't used to seeing this kind of work or if he simply gave off a very serious vibe, no matter what he did.

He sat quietly in an empty corner, watching their work calmly and indifferently. The eaves' shadows enveloped him, but today, there was an unusual warmth to him.

Instead of the usual cold and solitude, there was a touch of humanity.

It was as if a god had descended from the heavens and blended with the mortal world.
