too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 94

After parting ways with Terry, Lila decided to head back to the hotel instead of going to the film set.

She spotted Dorian waiting outside her door as she turned the corner of the hallway on her way upstairs.

She pursed her lip, considering whether to go to the reception and request a room change. But he had already seen her and was walking toward her.

"Lila."

She looked up with a faint and distant gaze. "Is there something you need?"

Even though Dorian had repeatedly reassured himself that Lila's coldness was expected, seeing her like this still unsettled him.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her not to speak to him that way.

But after a moment, he changed his approach. "Lila, I came to explain what happened with Zara today."

She regarded him with a neutral expression. "That's your business. There's no need to explain it to me."

He grew anxious. "My business is your business. Didn't you say that before? Lila, I really just planned to have her stay with me for a few days. She's definitely going to pursue an acting career. She's not suited to being an assistant, and there's no future in that job."

Lila laughed at his words. "You're right. There's no future in that job, so why would I agree to it?"

He was stunned. "That's not what I meant! Besides, you're my agent. This way, you can stay by my side. Don't you want that?"

"I don't want it," she replied bluntly. Lila didn't want to give him even a glimmer of hope. In truth, they should have cut ties cleanly by now.
