Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 49

Lucas Lane was stopped, momentarily taken aback.

"Who are you?" he asked, his gaze drifting through the restaurant's glass door toward the tall figure walking into the private room.

He had been caught in traffic and had worried about being late for their appointment. However, he felt a wave of relief upon seeing Kieran just arriving. Just as he was about to catch up, he was intercepted. Years of upbringing kept Lucas' displeasure from showing, and he waited politely for a response.

"Hello, Mr. Lane. I'm Dorian Blake, an artist under Nexus Entertainment."

"The film project invested by the Lane's Group this year is in collaboration with my team. We had a sudden resignation from one of our leaders, so I wanted to replace him," Dorian quickly explained, not wanting to take up too much of Lucas' time.

He observed Lucas' expression, noting that he seemed unfazed, which led him to believe this matter might be straightforward.

Unexpectedly, Lucas paused for a moment before saying, "Since you've been able to find me, you should know that I haven't been involved with Lane Group's affairs for the past few years. For these collaborations, you should contact my nephew, Vince."

Fearing a misunderstanding, Dorian hurriedly explained, "We did reach out to other leaders at Lane's Group before.

"However, since the employee responsible for signing the contract is the one who resigned, after explaining the situation, the Lane Group's side insisted that the departing employee should still be in charge of the project."

Lucas slightly furrowed his brows, remaining silent as he scrutinized Dorian.
