Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 153

Amelia said, "I don't know her. If I did, I would've invited her to eat together when I bumped into her at the door."

She then suddenly realized what Dorian was really asking.

Amelia laughed and added, "You're worried that I'm too interested in her and might investigate you through mutual connections, right?"

"Don't worry." She waved her hand. "I'm just a fan of good looks. When I see someone pretty, I can't look away.

"Don't you think she's super beautiful? I've seen a lot of people praised for their godly beauty, or get called 'the most beautiful woman in a thousand years', but compared to her, they're nothing."

Dorian's face showed a complicated expression. He knew how beautiful Lila was, but hearing Amelia complimenting someone so excessively made him feel that something was off.

However, Amelia didn't seem to sense any issue.

She smiled. "It's hard to describe the feeling Lila gives me. She's pure yet seductive. Those are two completely opposite words, but somehow, they both suit her perfectly.

"Did you notice the scent on her? It's a light jasmine fragrance. I'll ask her later which perfume she uses."

She tapped her forehead as if snapping herself out of a trance. "Ah, it's late. I should be heading back now.

"Mr. Blake, it was a pleasure talking to you today. I look forward to our next meet- up."
