Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 187

remembered something urgent-I have a flight tomorrow afternoon, and I haven't told Grandma or Aunt Nicole yet."

She glanced at Kieran and added casually, "If they ask about me while I'm gone, could you let them know? I'll come back to spend time with them as soon as I finish my work."

Her tone was calm and unbothered, and she even let out a yawn. "I'm so tired. I'm heading to bed now. You should rest early too, Uncle Kieran. Goodnight!"

Without waiting for a response, she stood up and headed to her room.

Kieran looked out at the sky, which wasn't yet fully dark. He sighed softly at the knowledge she was hiding something.

Shaking his head with a hint of helplessness, he decided to let her sort it out. If things spiraled out of control, he could step in then.

The next morning, Cedric, still uneasy about Lila working with Michael for the first time, arranged for them to meet at the office before their departure.

Lila first stopped by to brief Ethan on the tasks she was leaving behind. Jamie and Teddy happened to be there as well.

When Lila finished explaining, Teddy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, hold up. This huge movie star is stealing our agent?"

Jamie blinked, her soft-spoken nature keeping her quiet, though her gaze dropped to the floor, clearly agreeing with Teddy's sentiment.
