too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 52

Under the black umbrella, Dorian could only see the lower half of the man's face.

The contours unmistakably belonged to Noah.

But had his demeanor changed so much after two years abroad?

At this moment, Lucas' expression differed from his distant coldness when speaking to Dorian. Instead, he appeared gentle.

He first exchanged a few words with the man beside him before shifting his gaze back to Lila.

The heat was oppressive, and the air felt slightly distorted.

Dorian couldn't make out his exact expression, but he could vaguely discern that it was even warmer and friendlier than when talking to the man.

Suddenly, Dorian recalled Lila's candid statement that she had secured the project on her merit, not relying on him.

His lips curled downward, unable to hide his disdain.

"Lila, who exactly were you relying on? Yourself of Noah?" he thought.

No wonder the person in charge insisted on wanting only Lila. No wonder Lucas was unwilling to help him.

He narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening and his gaze more menacing.

She was indeed cunning, using all sorts of tactics just to force him to submit!

"Mr. Blake, does Ms. Hart know Mr. Lane?" Ethan was both scared and confused.

His question only deepened the darkness on Dorian's face. The fury in his eyes seemed almost real, and the flames flickered as if they were ready to spread.

"Lila, you're really something!"

…

The three of them chatted before Lila got into the car first.

Lucas waited for Kieran to get in before watching them leave, and only then did he turn to leave.

"Mr. Blake, do you think Ms. Hart is blocking the collaboration?"

Dorian didn't answer, but the coldness in his eyes spoke volumes.
