too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 125

Lila didn't really have a reason to refuse the invitation, but she felt a bit of a headache.

"Ms. Hart, we'll come pick you up directly." Jamie's message came through as soon as she finished her work in the evening. Lila couldn't help but wonder if she had secretly installed surveillance on her.

It was hot today, and they had been shooting outdoors all day and sweated a lot. Staying in the same clothes was uncomfortable, so she thought momentarily and replied, "I'll stop by the hotel first. Just send me the location."

Jamie was always considerate and didn't insist on picking her up. She replied with a simple, "Okay."

After choosing the restaurant, she sent Lila the location and room number. Teddy sat opposite a man, looking somewhat uneasy, silently hoping Lila would arrive soon.

The man looked only a few years older than them. He donned a suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, which gave him a refined appearance. His gentle smile was strikingly similar to Jamie's usual soft demeanor.

He handed a cup of tea to Teddy; the watch on his wrist looked expensive.

"Don't be nervous," Vince said in a voice as gentle as his appearance.

Teddy nodded and thanked him. He couldn't help but think that while Vince and Kieran seemed wealthy, their temperament was entirely different.

Kieran was distant and unreachable, handsome but untouchable—a born leader. On the other hand, Vince exuded a warm air, only showing seriousness when not smiling yet still carrying the authority of someone in power without Kieran's oppressive air.

Before Lila arrived, Teddy, the social butterfly, had already gotten familiar with Vince. Or he thought he did.

"Jamie is quiet, and her personality is too mild, so you'll need to take care of her and her agent more in the future," Vince said, gently pushing his glasses, his gaze filled with tenderness as he looked at Jamie.

Teddy paused, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Jamie. Didn't they know how fierce Jamie could be when she wasn't being sweet?
