Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 242

The woman stood there, looking down with a hint of disdain. "Lila?"

Lila came back to her senses before standing up to look at her. "You are...?"

She glanced at the woman, feeling a little confused. Although she had met everyone from the crew today, she couldn't place a name on this person.

The woman gave a faint smile as she flicked her long hair, but her attitude was all cold. "I'm Shannon Bolton, Vice President of Morgan Group."

"Hello, Ms. Bolton. Is there something from the headquarters that requires my attention?"

Lila'smind quickly worked through the possibilities. Morgan Group seemed to have invested in this project. If there was any connection, it was probably because of herself and the actors she managed being involved.

"Mhm." Shannon nodded, sizing her up. "Nothing important. I just returned from overseas recently and am in charge of a Morgan Group project here.

"I heard Mr. Morgan's fiancé is in town, so I wanted to look." She gave a nonchalant smile and continued, "You are quite different from what I imagined."

Lila's eyebrows twitched, but she managed to keep her expression cool.

Shannon appeared polite, but her gaze held no respect. It looked similar to the one Dorian had given her when they broke up-only this time, it carried more scrutiny.
