Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 116

A camera held as much significance to a photographer as a child to their parents.

"What's going on?" Leonard scanned the scene and pointed at Leyla. "You. Speak up."

Lila picked up the camera and examined it carefully. The lens seemed fine, at least. She had anticipated that breaking ties with Dorian might bring troublemakers her way, but she didn't expect such clumsy yet infuriating tactics.

Caught off guard by Leonard's scolding, Leyla tried to speak but hesitated.

He was not one to wait. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"

When the commotion outside caught his attention, Dorian had just returned to his lounge.

"What's happening?"

"Mr. Blake, it seems Ms. Hart had a conflict with someone. Do you want to check it out?"

Oliver, though new, was already aware of the history between him and Lila. Many in the crew were eager to curry favor with Dorian. As soon as the argument began, someone informed Oliver, figuring it might score them points.
