Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 297

Pierre happened to look in Lila and Terry's direction at the same time. The moment he recognized them, he merely raised an eyebrow.

Terry quickly spoke up. "Since you two know each other, I won't bother with the introductions. Lila's needed elsewhere, so we'll talk later."

Lila nodded at Pierre slightly as a way to greet him. She and Terry barely walked a few steps away before Pierre quickly caught up to them.

He was clad in a tuxedo today, and his hair was carefully styled. While he looked handsome, his features lacked the hardened contours that adult males usually had. However, the gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose bridge made him look more like a proper and well-dressed gentleman.

"Oh? Are we not supposed to be that close anymore now that Dorian isn't here?"

Pierre pushed his glasses up his nose bridge while smiling at Lila. He made it seem like they were close friends from the start.

"Pierre, I asked Lila to give me a hand at the event today. You have a job to do as well. Let's talk after the event is over."

Terry moved to stand in front of Lila to stop Pierre from getting any closer to her. He seriously didn't want them to meet up with each other if not for the fact that he didn't have any choice.

"Why are you being so nervous, Terry? I was just saying hi to a familiar face. Besides, didn't I explain myself back then? I got the wrong person because I was already drunk."

Pierre raised his hands slightly as if to appease Terry and Lila. "Lila, there's no need to be that vengeful, right? Besides, it's not like anything happened to you that night."

It wasn't like anything had happened to her that night? Lila's gaze turned frosty instantly. She tilted her chin to gaze into his eyes, noticing there wasn't a trace of guilt or anything else.
