Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 245

Shannon had just gotten to the company when Cole arrived.

She looked up at the person entering. "I need to go back and change my clothes for the cocktail party tonight.

"I'll wait for Mr. Morgan at the banquet hall entrance," she said while tidying up her things.

Her quick, decisive actions and tone certainly matched her image as a career- driven woman.

But after she finished speaking, she suddenly recalled Amelia's sarcastic words.

Before Cole could respond, she asked, "Mr. Mason, do you think I'm a little too serious most of the time?"

Cole looked at her strangely. When did she start reflecting on herself?

Shannon was different from him. She wasn't from a humble background.

Although the Bolton family could barely make a name for themselves in Northridge, Shannon could still be considered a pampered young lady compared to most people.

Cole had known this since he felt a sense of pride when they met. She fell for Kieran while attending banquets with her family at university.

Since then, wherever Kieran appeared, she would find a way to be there. After graduating, she disregarded her parents' objections and boldly joined Morgan Group.

She was also capable, having progressed from a low-level employee to a vice president.

Everyone in the company knew what she was after, but no one dared to speak out.

A coworker in her department once shared something privately, and the next day, Shannon accused that person of discrediting internal staff. She then fired them.

This was technically in line with the rules, but sometimes the rules just weren't very reasonable.
