Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 598

The rest of the night was a blur. Kieran frowned and checked his phone.

There was a message from Landon. "Kieran, did you and Lila get hsafely?" So, it was Lila who brought him

back. A quick glance at his call log confirmed she had called from the night before.

He replied to Landon, whose reply calmost instantly. "Seriously, you waited till morning to letknow

you're home? Why didn't you wait until | died of worry before telling me?"

Kieran ignored his friend's tics and quietly slipped out of bed. After a quick wash up, he headed

downstairs.

In the living room, a bouquet lay on the coffee table—purple tulips, their petals already withered, mixed with

lisianthus blooms. Lila's favorites.

His gaze darkened. Had someone else given them to her? Without a word, he swept the flowers into the trash,

then tossed something on top to cover them from view.

Skipping breakfast, he left for the office. But he made sure to have Cindy prepare breakfast for Lila before he

went.

When Lila finally stirred awake, it was already 9:00 am, and her body was still sore. "How does Kieran have so

much stamina? Does he ever get tired? If it weren't fortapping out, he'd probably keep going till sunrise,"

she groaned inwardly.

After lazing in bed for a little while, she got up to freshen up. When she saw the bouquet sticking out of the

trash, she froze. It hit her that she had forgotten to give those flowers to Kieran last night.

Curious, she asked Cindy, "Did you throw these away?"

"No, | didn't."

Llla nodded. So, it must've been Kieran.

The bouquet had wilted a bit overnight because she had forgotten to put it in a vase, but still-he had thrown

them straight into the trash. Did that mean he didn't like them?

Resting her chin on her hand, she made a mental note. "Next time, | should ask him what kind of flowers he

actually likes."

After a leisurely morning at home, Lila headed to the office in the afternoon.

Cedric was glad that she was fine. "This movie is our own project. If you cacross two actors with almost the

sskill levels and one happens to be from our company, you should pick them."

Lila nodded. "Of course." She understood the business well—keeping resources within the company.

"By the way, what's Jamie been up to lately?" she asked.

It had been a hectic few weeks, and with everything on her plate, she hadn't had the chance to check in on

Jamie or her situation with Teddy. Oddly enough, she'd run into Matthew more often than them.

"I haven't seen much of her. | haven't assigned her anything lately. Ethan's been busy taking Teddy to events.

Matthew's work has been on hold because of his injury, but he just got out of the hospital, right? | was thinking of

having him try out for a role in your project. If there's a fitting role, he can go with you.

"Honestly, it seems like variety shows aren't his thing. He's gone on two and ended up in trouble both times. So,

he should just focus on acting But he could use more coaching-talent only goes so far without skill.
