Zara got out of the car, looking pleased. "Lila, you haven't left yet! We brought some snacks to share with you."
As she approached, her perfume lingered on Lila's nose, making her slightly uncomfortable. Lila stepped back, creating some distance.
"No, it's fine. I have something to do. I'll be leaving first."
Zara looked at her, revealing a hint of grievance.
Dorian reassured her, "Don't mind her. That's just her bad temper."
Jamie politely declined as well, while Teddy grabbed a bottle of drink.
Lila glanced at him, seeing how he cherished the drink like a precious gem. "Haven't you had enough of that?"
Teddy felt wronged. Where had the gentle and adorable Jamie gone?
Who was this crazy person before him?
…
Opulent Hotel was the best accommodation close to the film studio, where many top-tier artists stayed.
Most of them came and went with various assistants.
Since Lila's work at the studio ended relatively early today, she casually checked in on Jamie and Teddy to ensure everything was alright before returning to rest.
When she entered the hotel lobby, she spotted a familiar silhouette.
Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed in a silver-gray suit.
Uncle Kieran?
She quickly slapped her forehead, reminding herself to stay alert.
The Morgan family was involved in many industries, but their stake in film and entertainment was minimal.
It was unlikely that Kieran would demean himself to manage something so trivial.
She took her room key and headed upstairs.
As she opened the door, she didn't close it behind her.
