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.

Dorian was aware of this, too. He looked coldly at Samuel. "Mr. Grant, are you going to let her cause such a scene?"

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.
