Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 256

"Let him do whatever he wants," Lila said as she left.

A man's voice called out from outside the restroom, "Shannon, are you done yet?"

The voice sounded vaguely familiar, but Lila couldn't immediately place it.

Shannon glanced at her with a confident smirk as though she were anticipating a show. "I've already warned you. Whether you go is up to you."

She grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, then walked out.

"I'm coming, geez, you're always so impatient," Shannon said to the man who had spoken.

Lila followed a step behind her, and when she lifted her head, her eyes met the man's.

They both froze for a moment.

Then, his face lit up with excitement. "Lila! I got here late today and was just thinking about finding you later.

"You've been hiding pretty well, huh? Am I even your friend still?"

However, there wasn't a hint of reproach in his tone.

He strode toward her cheerfully, like an old friend, even giving her a light nudge with his shoulder. "I was wondering why Mr. Morgan treated us so well when we were abroad. Turns out it wasn't because of my status, but it was all thanks to you!"

Shannon stiffened slightly at this remark, though she quickly masked her reaction.
