too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 202

Today, Lila had applied makeup to cover the exhaustion on her face, although her eyes were slightly red from lack of sleep, giving them a bunny-like appearance.

The usually composed Kieran paused momentarily, and his gaze shifted to her fair arm.

"Does your wrist still hurt?"

She raised her hand. "It's fine now. You massaged it for so long yesterday; the muscles are all relaxed."

"There's an art exhibition overseas next week. If you're free, I'd like to take you along."

He suggested it to help her unwind and relax.

"Next week?" She tilted her head, thinking for a moment before she hesitated. "That depends on the progress of the Joyce Group project. I probably won't have time."

He chuckled softly. "We'll wait for the next time then."

"Okay. Just let me know in advance next time. I'll make time for it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head to the office now. Drive safe." Her voice was light and playful with a hint of youthful charm.

He nodded and drove off. But as he drove away, it took a moment for Lila to process what had just happened. Kieran... He probably wanted to say something, didn't he?

She rubbed her temple, deciding to ask him later when she got home. As she entered her office, she was surprised to find Teddy there.

It had been about ten days since they last met, and he seemed a little darker in complexion.

"You're finally finished with the variety show recording. Why aren't you taking a few days off?" Lila raised an eyebrow.

"Ms. Hart," Teddy whispered. "I got some news early this morning and came straight to look for you."

Seeing her confused, he handed her his phone. "Take a look."
