too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 433

The assistant director followed Lila's gaze. It was warm inside the greenhouse, and the man had taken off his coat. His sweater looked shabby and worn, with frayed edges tied together with a few strands of thread. He wore a pair of black trousers that were so old they had turned pale from washing. His shoes were also unsuitable for winter.

He looked poor.

The assistant director was puzzled. "No idea. He's just some old man in the village."

"No one knows his name?" Lila frowned.

"I'll ask John. He's the one who handled the hiring," the assistant manager offered.

Lila nodded. "Thanks for the trouble."

She waited. But before John arrived, Matthew called out to her.

Lila walked over as a staff member handed her a face mask. She put it on and approached Matthew.

"Did you hurt yourself?" She frowned, noticing the blood on the back of his hand.

Matthew shook his head. "It's nothing."

Even though he told the staff it wasn't serious, they still called Lila over.

Lila glanced at the man in the military coat, who was not far away, before taking the alcohol spray offered by a staff member and disinfecting Matthew's wound.

"It's a minor injury. Since you'll be transplanting tomato seedlings, make sure it doesn't get infected. Cover it with a bandage for now," she instructed.

The show wasn't popular yet, and most participants were men in their twenties, like Matthew, with relatively low fame. Despite their lack of celebrity status, they were friendly and unpretentious. When they saw Matthew get hurt, they offered to help share his workload.

After treating his wound, Lila grabbed a shovel. "I'll dig up the tomato seedlings. You carry them over there."

"That's not right. This is the guests' job," Matthew said, surprised that someone of Lila's status would join in the work.

"Just make sure the cameras don't catch me," Lila said, dodging the camera and informing the director of the situation.

Perhaps thinking that one more person helping out wouldn't make much difference, the director agreed. To be cautious, Lila kept her face mask on.

But she didn't know the director hadn't removed the camera filming her.
