too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 491

Lila awkwardly touched her nose, but since they were already home, the two of them simply decided to have lunch together. She felt a little uncomfortable sitting at the table, especially when Cindy flashed her a knowing smile.

After lunch, she wasted no time in pulling him away. "Be more careful next time!" she said as she settled into the car, exhaling slightly.

Kieran chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "So… will I still get my reward tonight?"

Lila nearly bit her tongue. "We'll talk about that later tonight! Mr. Morgan, surely you know the saying—good things come to those who wait."

She said it with a perfectly straight face, but the more she thought about her choice of words, the more they felt off. Worried that the conversation would take a turn in the wrong direction, she wisely shut her mouth.

Kieran's smile, on the other hand, widened. His voice was low and teasing. "I'll be sure to enjoy my reward tonight, then." Lila went completely silent.

After dropping her off at Magi Pictures, Kieran headed back.

That afternoon, as Lila sat in her office sorting through documents, she found herself zoning out. Staring at the blank sheets of paper in front of her, her mind inexplicably wandered to what would happen that night.

Then, she pressed her fingers against her temples and thought, "I'm seriously losing it!"

…

In the evening, a message from Kieran popped up on her phone. "I'll pick you up soon."

Her fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before another message came in. "Landon wants to hang out for a bit. You can invite Amelia if you like."
