too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 156

During that time, Dorian had Ethan calling and messaging Lila relentlessly—it was no different from harassment. Ethan even sat by coldly when she was being bullied.

If this happened to him, he wouldn't have held a conversation calmly during their encounter today.

He glanced at Lila and sighed secretly, knowing there wouldn't be another chance to work with her again.

He chose to leave Dorian precisely because he couldn't stand seeing him mistreat someone as genuine as her.

Seeing Ethan waiting for Lila to make a decision, Cedric turned his attention to her as well.

Under the bright lights, her face appeared even fairer and more delicate. Her bright eyes sparkled like stars, captivating anyone who looked at them.

With graceful steps, she approached them and extended her hand toward Ethan. "I'm glad to have the chance to work with you again, Ethan."

He seemed to be momentarily taken aback. He looked up, his gaze filled with disbelief. "L-Lila, you're not blaming me?"

She smiled faintly, her gaze clear. This was just like when he first met her. After all these years, she had remained true to herself—innocent and kind.

Ethan, a fully grown man, suddenly felt sentimental. He bit his lip as he gently shook her hand. "Lila, it's an honor to strive for success with you again."

Having worked in the complicated entertainment industry for years, Cedric naturally saw through people's hearts better.

During the company's background check on Ethan, they only knew that his previous company was Nexus Entertainment. Seeing what happened today, Cedric easily deduced that Ethan had been part of Dorian's team.

Considering Lila's and Dorian's history, and that Ethan left after Lila, it was likely that Dorian had instructed him to do something hurtful to her.

Yet, Lila was willing to bury the hatchet and work with Ethan again. Given their prior collaboration, they would work well together.

This pleased Cedric, who smiled and said, "In that case, Lila will manage the division of tasks within your team."

After Cedric left, Ethan was still caught up in the surreal feeling. "So, I'll…"

Sensing his uneasiness, Lila also found this to be somewhat surreal. She felt that they were rather fated to cross paths again. She composed herself and said, "Recently, those two have been busy filming on set, so there's not much work.

"We'll have to contact some companies and select some suitable appearances for them. We can look through films or variety shows."
