Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 24

The production crew had been quite busy lately, and commuting from home took up too much time, so Lila decided to stay at the hotel they had arranged.

She was bored and rolled on the bed like a fish flopping about.

The bed was of terrible quality. It creaked incessantly and sagged badly, making her feel like she had been beaten up after sleeping in it. She would wake up with aches in her waist and legs and discomfort all over.

The following day, she woke up looking a bit disheveled. Samuel asked with concern, but she waved her hand in reply. She didn't feel like talking, so he didn't press further.

After Dorian left that day, he asked Taylor why they had both arranged to come to the production crew if their relationship wasn't good.

That's when Samuel learned that the two of them had actually been dating. Seeing Lila's unwell appearance now, he assumed she was sad about the breakup.

His gaze landed on Lila, who was napping during the break. He suddenly recalled the events from the first gossip scene.

A sense of realization hit him; something wasn't right.
