Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 20

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Lila. She looked at Dorian, took a deep breath, and then unleashed the words she had held back for so long.

"You seem to be a dick who doesn't understand human language."

Cole almost burst out laughing. He had never expected the usually gentle Lila to curse when pushed to her limits.

Samuel's eyes flickered momentarily, and he didn't respond immediately. He was somewhat surprised that Taylor had recommended Dorian. His talent and popularity made him a solid choice.

"Mr. Grant," Cole said with a smirk, "Acting is a profession, right? Since it's a profession, shouldn't actors show some dedication?"
