Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Lila slept soundly through the night. The next morning, as soon as she woke up, she saw a message from Amelia. "Moore Group just announced their collaboration with Morgan Group! Does this mean Faith won't be leaving Northridge anytime soon?"

Lila didn't reply immediately. Instead, she freshened up, got dressed, and headed downstairs to find Kieran. "I saw the news that Moore Group officially announced their partnership with Morgan Group. Will Ms. Moore be staying here as the project lead?" she asked as soon as she saw him.

The Moores have been planning Faith's arranged marriage for two years now, but since her younger brother, Andy, was still studying abroad, they didn't have a suitable heir to manage the company. That put her marriage plans on hold."

He ladled some oatmeal into a bowl and set it in front of her. "But recently, there's talk that Andy is back in the country."

Lila immediately caught on. The Moore family prioritized their son, but they couldn't just hand him the company without proving his competence to their shareholders. And now, this collaboration with Morgan Group had become the perfect opportunity for him to gain experience.

As long as no one could hold Kieran back, then it didn't really matter who the Moore family sent. She nodded. "So, in the end, it doesn't make much of a difference who they send. But didn't you say before
