Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 81

Meanwhile, Kieran couldn't bear the thought of leaving the injured Lila alone. He decided to send her and Jamie back to the film set.

"Uncle Kieran, you should drop Jamie off first," Lila suggested.

Jamie blinked. She was about to say that there was no rush for her but swallowed her words when she saw how focused Kieran was while driving.

Though he was Lila's uncle and seemed gentle, his every move carried undeniable authority that intimidated her for no apparent reason. Plus, he looked strangely familiar.

Jamie figured that all successful employers had to be a little strict to manage their staff better.

"Lila, why don't you rest for another day? If you're eager to learn, I can provide you with better opportunities and resources."
