He sighed beavily. "I had known, I should have stopped Camille hom playing matchmaker in the first place."

"Mr Bøster, I've never blamed either of you. Dorian and I were simply not meant to be"

She reassed in, her voice as clear and soothing

He nodded

"I'll let Camille and Dorian know, but keep working hard. Although you've been a bit idle these past few years, you have a solid foundation

"I still hope you can excel in directing. You will definitely achieve great things, far surpassing me.

At this Taylor's eyes lit up, and his cheerful expression må his wound face legle with excitement.
