Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 397

"Give me a minute. I need to double-check." The front desk staff sounded unsure.

Lila nodded politely. "Sorry for the trouble."

The company leadership was mostly busy during Christma. Sometimes, they might not be in the office.

Soon, the staff member came back with a reply. "Mr. Klime is still in the office, but you need to hurry up if you want to meet him. He'll leave in half an hour because he has an event to attend in the afternoon."

Lila nodded again with gratitude as she tightened her grip on the vacuum flask. After her parents' death, she had met with Gordon a few times. She first met him at the funeral. The second time, she met him at the Morgan residence. But these had happened many years ago.

In the few times they met, they rarely spoke to each other.

Lila inhaled deeply before knocking on his office door.

Gordon's assistant answered the door, but the assistant did not know her. Still, he didn't say much since Lila must be an important person, judging from her outfit and the fact she was allowed into Wilmer Tower.
