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

Shannon would make Lila see that they were from different worlds.

...

Lila carefully oversaw each scene on the set, steadily pushing the shooting schedule step by step.

Amelia had stayed for two days but left because of business matters. She had been absent for a whole week since then.

During a break in the shooting, Jamie and Teddy approached Lila.

Although they weren't the leads, their roles had quite a bit of screen time. Almost two-thirds of the male and female lead's scenes featured them.

"Ms. Hart, Ms. Joyce hasn't looked for you for a week. That's really unusual," Teddy remarked, sipping the sweet and refreshing drink that Lila had treated the entire crew to.

Jamie nodded, showing her agreement.

Lila had been so busy lately that she hadn't noticed until now. Not only had Amelia not appeared, but she hadn't even sent any messages.

That was indeed a bit odd.

"How about sending her a message to check if everything's alright? What if something happened?"

Jamie noticed the subtle concern in Lila's eyes.

Lila nodded. She had just taken out her phone when she received a message.

She opened it, and it was from Amelia.

"Guess where I am!"

She had asked this kind of question before, so Lila breathed a small sigh of relief when she saw the message.

She was about to reply, thinking Amelia was just playing around, but then she suddenly thought of something.

"Did you come to the set?"

"Bingo! Look up!"

Lila looked up, and her gaze met Amelia's. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a dazzling smile.

She waved cheerfully at Lila and walked over, pinching Lila's cheek.

"Ah, it's still the same feeling. You didn't lose weight, so that's good. I was worried you weren't eating well on set."

Lila couldn't help but recall Kieran's frequent care packages and felt slightly embarrassed.

She was getting extra meals daily, so losing weight was definitely out of the question.

Amelia turned to look at the other two. She

Both Lila and Jamie noticed the subtle shift in her demeanor. They exchanged a look, and then Jamie lowered her head.

"What have you been busy with this week?" Lila asked, drawing the attention of the other two.

The smile on Amelia's face faded, and she looked at Jamie with a complicated expression.

"You don't know?"

Jamie was stunned by the question.

How would she know? She had been on set filming all this time.

Amelia spoke as if she was telling a funny story, piquing their curiosity.

Lila asked, "Do you know this person?"

Teddy asked, "Which CEO?"

The three of them turned their attention to Jamie. She hesitated, her voice soft as

she dropped a bombshell.

"Could it... be my brother?"

Lila and Teddy were both shocked. "No way!"
