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.

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

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

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.

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

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