Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 534

"Not really." Teddy pouted, sounding dejected. "At first, I thought it was a fair competition and had a chance of winning, but... Wait, how do all of you know I like Jamie?"

Lila sighed. Seriously, who wouldn't notice?

Even Matthew, who barely interacted with them, knew. How oblivious could Teddy be? He always wore his heart upon his sleeves.

"I just guessed. Now, tell me what happened," Lila pressed.

Teddy grumbled, "Well, your guess was pretty spot on."

Then he got back to the point. "Since Jamie is adorable, I know others would like her too. But this guy came out of nowhere. Since it was just the two of us, I thought I still had a shot at winning."

Lila urged, "Get to the point! Hurry up, I'm getting anxious here."

"Why are you anxious? I'm the one in trouble here!" Teddy sounded devastated but continued, "I thought that guy wouldn't be back for a while, so I still had time to make my move. Who knew he'd show up today?"

"He arrived today? Wasn't he supposed to come later?" Lila was surprised.

"I have no idea," Teddy said. "When I went to see Jamie this afternoon, that guy showed up too. He was smart, tall, handsome, and even treated us to dinner. I didn't get a chance to prove myself and I've already lost."

Lila was surprised. "Tall and handsome?"
