Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 252

The next day, Lila returned to the city ahead of them.

Kieran told her to head back to Evergreen Heights first and said that he would

take her to get her makeup and change her clothes later.

While Kieran was showering, Lila played games in the living room.

When she heard the doorbell, she opened the door without much thought.

"Is Mr. Morgan here?" Shannon spoke first.

She was still dressed in a neat uniform, her hair cut to shoulder length, with a single pearl earring dangling from her ear.

Had it not been for their previous encounter, Lila would have complimented her on her appearance.

However, she didn't expect that someone who was highly educated and had worked her way up would resort to such petty competition between women.

Lila wasn't particularly fond of her, so she responded with a polite but cold tone, "He's in the shower. Do you need him for something?"

"Mm, it's about work," Shannon replied.

Lila didn't want to overthink it.

Shannon's disdain was too obvious. It was clear she was trying to subtly mock Lila, implying that they weren't in the same social circle.

Lila nodded. "Should I tell him?"

"No need." Shannon smiled faintly. "I'll just wait for him."
