too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 29

Dorian had to admit that he still felt a flutter for Lila.

Their relationship had indeed become too tense recently. It wasn't that he didn't want to enjoy his time with her.

But the idea of spoiling Lila and ending up in a messy situation made him hesitate to indulge her.

If he compromised this time, wouldn't she only become more demanding next time?

He pinched the bridge of his nose and instructed his assistant, "Try contacting the investor. If he's willing to budge, it should make things easier with the head of the crew."

The assistant hesitantly asked, "Mr. Blake, are you really not planning to have a proper talk with Ms. Hart?"

"Just focus on your job!"

Dorian hung up, rubbing his forehead, trying to suppress his fatigue.

After a moment's thought, he sent a message to Lila.

"Lila, don't be stubborn. This isn't good for you.

"I've been in contact with the person in charge of that film project. If you return to me, I'll hand this project over to you. Isn't becoming a great director your dream?

"As long as you behave and come back quietly, I can overlook your tantrum and fully support your career."

The questions and even insults on Twitter hadn't affected Lila's mood, but these few messages now made her feel like she had swallowed a fly—she felt disgusted.

Again, with the "behave" and "I'll overlook the past"!

Lila didn't want to respond at all. Just as she contemplated blocking him directly, another message came through.

"Do you really think Billy values you? He just brushed you off with two random newcomers. Are you content with that?"

Lila furrowed her brows. She wasn't stupid. She could see that Billy was trying to make things difficult for her.

But so what?

The current situation was far better than when Dorian had just debuted.

If she could help Dorian rise, she could do the same for the next one.

Seeing that she still wasn't replying, Dorian grew increasingly irritable.

"Lila, you don't have the right to throw a tantrum. The insults on Twitter are enough to force you into a corner."
