Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 117

Leyla didn't dare to have the surveillance footage checked. She would be in serious trouble if it showed she had done it on purpose.

Since Lila joined the crew, Leyla was certain Lila didn't remember her.

When Dorian first won the Best Actor award, he was filming a show in which Leyla played a minor role. She had been in the industry for years but never gained recognition, and her father's illness was a constant financial strain. So, she had thoughts she shouldn't have.

She desperately wanted fame but didn't truly believe she could seduce Dorian. All she wanted was an opportunity to create some buzz around her name.

During a break on set, she approached Dorian, pretended to sprain her ankle, and let him catch her.

But Lila caught the person she had arranged to take photos secretly. When he saw the evidence Leyla had taken without permission, his gentlemanly and warm demeanor instantly turned cold. Without hesitation or explanation, he sided with Lila completely.

Leyla had been so close. For someone like Dorian, a small scandal wouldn't cause any trouble. But for her, it was a rare opportunity.

Lila had climbed her way up the ladder, too. Why couldn't she understand? Why wouldn't she help her?

Even years later, Leyla still resented her. Unexpectedly, the next time they crossed paths, it was when Dorian abandoned Lila.
