Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Lila had placed her dessert order ahead of time and even left work a little early. Halfway there, she decided to make a detour to a nearby cafe. Remembering how Kieran always told her to cut back on sugar, she asked the staff to make her fruit tea with only half the usual sweetness.

When she arrived at Morgan Group, the receptionist greeted her warmly. Lila nodded at them in acknowledgement and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
