Chapter 9
Lila's voice was faint and cold like a bucket of cold water poured over Dorian's heart.
His eyes turned icy again.
Even without knowing about her wish for love, he thought he just needed to wait a couple of days for Lila to figure things out and return to his side, just like before. He felt sorry for her when he saw her looking aggrieved.
Now that he knew about the sandalwood bracelet, he had been suppressing his anger over her complaining him to Taylor. He planned to talk it out, but his sympathy for her crumbled instantly upon hearing her unreasonable, frosty attitude.
His voice turned cold. "You went to complain to Mr. Foster today, didn't you? You wanted him to make things difficult for me, right?"
Lila felt bewildered. "No!"
He scoffed. "Really? Lila, have you really become this hypocritical? You dare to act but can't take responsibility?"
Her fingers trembled slightly as she held the phone. She moved it away from her ear and glanced at the contact name.
Dorian's tone was so foreign that she thought she had picked up the wrong call. After five years together, she began to doubt whether she really understood him.
He didn't hear her response and assumed she was feeling guilty. Another cold laugh escaped him.
"Why aren't you speaking? What did you tell Mr. Foster? Did you say we had a fight and that he should lecture and threaten me to coax you?"
"I didn't say anything, and I don't need you to coax me," Lila said, lowering her gaze and staring blankly at her toes.
"Lila, show that you care if you still want to be with me. After all these years, you should know how I treat you.
"I still love you, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate your bad temper. If you still want that film project, come to the office now."
Lila frowned. "I can't go now."
It was only then that he remembered she wasn't home and had few friends. The only friend he had seen her with was Noah Morgan, a spoiled, wealthy young
