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

Dorian had to admit that he still felt a flutter for Lila.

Their relationship had indeed become too tense recently. It wasn't that he didn't want to enjoy his time with her.

But the idea of spoiling Lila and ending up in a messy situation made him hesitate to indulge her.

If he compromised this time, wouldn't she only become more demanding next time?

He pinched the bridge of his nose and instructed his assistant, "Try contacting the investor. If he's willing to budge, it should make things easier with the head of the crew."

The assistant hesitantly asked, "Mr. Blake, are you really not planning to have a proper talk with Ms. Hart?"

"Just focus on your job!"

Dorian hung up, rubbing his forehead, trying to suppress his fatigue.

After a moment's thought, he sent a message to Lila.

"Lila, don't be stubborn. This isn't good for you.

"I've been in contact with the person in charge of that film project. If you return to me, I'll hand this project over to you. Isn't becoming a great director your dream?

"As long as you behave and come back quietly, I can overlook your tantrum and fully support your career."

The questions and even insults on Twitter hadn't affected Lila's mood, but these few messages now made her feel like she had swallowed a fly-she felt disgusted.

Again, with the "behave" and "I'll overlook the past"!

Lila didn't want to respond at all. Just as she contemplated blocking him directly, another message came through.

"Do you really think Billy values you? He just brushed you off with two random newcomers. Are you content with that?"

Lila furrowed her brows. She wasn't stupid. She could see that Billy was trying to make things difficult for her.

But so what?

The current situation was far better than when Dorian had just debuted.

If she could help Dorian rise, she could do the same for the next one.

Seeing that she still wasn't replying, Dorian grew increasingly irritable.

"Lila, you don't have the right to throw a tantrum. The insults on Twitter are enough to force you into a corner."

Lila lowered her gaze, suppressing the bitterness rising in her chest.

Then, she decided to delete his chat and blocked him.

At that moment, her heart ached sharply.

She sat down on a stool, and Samuel just happened to see her clutching her chest.

It resembled a famous art piece.

With such good looks, it would be a shame for Lila not to be an idol.

He asked with concern, "Lila, are you feeling unwell? You should find a place to rest for a bit."

Lila shook her head, forcing a smile before returning to her tasks.

Samuel watched her busy figure, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Dorian sent another message and noticed the red exclamation mark.

His new phone, which he had only just replaced, had been smashed again. Her temper was getting out of hand.

He offered her a way out, but she wouldn't take it. She was truly pushing her luck. Did she really want him to beg her personally?

Since she was so intent on running away, he would let her go out and experience some hardship first. Only then would she understand the benefits of staying by his side.

At that moment, the director called everyone to eat, and he set the matter aside for now.

This director had collaborated with them before. Seeing Dorian accompanied by Zara and just an assistant behind him, he asked with curiosity, "Where's Lila?"

He liked that girl. She was both beautiful and capable.

Despite having the backing of the Morgan family, she remained grounded. It was truly rare.

However, he hadn't disclosed that layer of connection to anyone, as both Kieran and Lila had advised him to keep quiet about it.noveldrama

Thinking back to when he first collaborated with Dorian, he remembered that Dorian wasn't particularly well-known then.

He might never have had that opportunity if it weren't for Lila.

Now, looking at Dorian, he smiled. That girl had a good eye. In just a few years, he had become a major movie star.
