Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 98

When Dorian realized this, his expression darkened.

Noah held no real power, so Dorian wasn't too concerned about him. However, Noah's lack of restraint made his actions erratic and unpredictable, sometimes crossing the line into unscrupulousness. Dorian had suffered losses at his hands before.

The only person Dorian could think of who would go out of his way to make things difficult for him was none other than Noah. He couldn't allow Lila to continue interacting with Noah.

The mere thought of them standing together, looking perfectly matched, with Lila gazing up at Noah with delight, drove him mad with jealousy.

Didn't she realize how alluring she was? How could she dare speak to a man like that?

Dorian felt a surge of anger, yet when facing Lila and others, he concealed it well, maintaining an air of appropriate concern that befitted someone who had once won the Best Actor award.

"Exactly, Lila! This is such a great opportunity-why would you turn it down?" Billy chimed in.

Lila remained firm, and her gaze was clear. "I like the two newcomers I'm working with. Since I've taken them on, I must be responsible for them. No matter how tough it is, this is my choice, and I hope both of you can respect that."
