too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 292

On the day the filming was wrapped up, Lila headed back to Magi Pictures to give Cedric a report on her work. After that, she got ready to return to Evergreen Heights.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Terry in the lobby.

Ever since things between Lila and Dorian completely soured, she never got to see Terry after he helped her out in the hospital.

She had been meaning to thank him in person for his help.

Terry seemed flippant at first glance, not to mention he used to be Dorian's best friend. But his judgment never got clouded when it was time for him to choose between Dorian and her. Instead, he chose to help Lila out—and a lot.

Even though Kieran had already chosen to collaborate with Jones Group, Lila felt that she should still thank Terry for his help.

On the other hand, Terry was also surprised to see Lila.

She looked prettier than she was before. Also, she looked more spirited than that time when she was still dating Dorian. Even the way she carried herself was way better than before. Her aloof and gentle temperament gave her the illusion of being innocent, yet she was actually composed and mature.

Terry couldn't help but feel happy for Lila. She seemed like she was in a better place now.

That meant Kieran must have treated her well.

"What a coincidence." He decided to speak up first.

"What are you doing here, Terry?" Lila quickly approached Terry. "I didn't have time to properly thank you in person for what you did for me last time. Would you like to grab a bite with me if you're free?"

Terry looked at his phone. It happened to be lunchtime, so he nodded. Both of them walked out of the lobby together.

Lila explained, "I joined the production crew soon after the whole fiasco went down. That's why I can only thank you now."

"You're welcome, Lila. It's nothing. Besides, I didn't exactly help you out that much."

She flashed Terry a smile. "Now you're just being courteous. By the way, why are you here again?"

An awkward look flickered across Terry's face at her question.

Lila thought the reason was personal to Terry, so she didn't continue the topic after that. But she soon realized that something was off when they were waiting for their food to arrive.
