too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 349

Lila was somewhat puzzled as she followed along to see the surprise Cole had mentioned.

She and Kieran sat in the back seat, and her peripheral vision caught sight of a stack of documents beside her.

Noticing that Kieran was about to reach for them, she raised her hand to stop him. "It's bad for your eyes. Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Cole glanced at the rearview mirror, knowing Kieran probably wouldn't listen. After all, they had left early today, and the documents were quite urgent.

Kieran had spent the entire ride from the Morgan Group building to Magi Pictures Headquarters reading.

Some of the files were needed first thing tomorrow. If he didn't look at them now, he'd have to stay up late to catch up.

Just as Cole was about to speak up in Kieran's defense, Kieran said, "Alright, I'll look at them when we get home."

Cole muttered, "I guess I'm unnecessary."

However, it created an awkward atmosphere, leaving everyone staring at each other. Cole thought to himself that his moment had finally come.

"Ms. Hart, that young man from your company, was he one of your new signed artists?"

He thought Kieran would be interested in this topic, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he was puzzled.

Was he really that invested in them falling in love and getting married? But Kieran had clearly...

Cole hissed softly. Something didn't feel right.

With the conversation already underway, Lila didn't think too much about it and continued.

"I met him yesterday. I thought he had impressive looks, so I handed him a business card to give it a try. If he turns out to be a good prospect, I might focus on nurturing him."

Cole wasn't sure whether this conversation was relevant, but since they had started, he couldn't back out now without making Lila feel awkward.

"Do you really like him?"

The man in the back seat slightly raised his eyes. His gaze was calm, but the currents were stirring beneath the surface.

He appeared to be looking ahead, but in reality, his peripheral vision was entirely on Lila, not wanting to miss even the slightest shift in her expression.

Lila thought for a moment.
