Chapter 27
Zara explained, “Lila, don’t misunderstand. Dorian and I were just…”
Lila tilted her head and wore a playful smile. “No need to explain. I understand! A brother helping his sister with a little eye makeup-there’s nothing to clarify.”
She smiled, but there were no traces of joy.
Behind her, Jamie and Teddy felt the atmosphere turn awkward.
Teddy glanced back at the person lounging nearby. “Did you intentionally point us to the wrong room?”
The person, yawning lazily, replied calmly, “Sorry, my bad! It’s the one next door.”
This person recognized Lila and had previously been close to Dorian. There had long been rumors about their fallout. Since no one clarified anything about the trending topic on Twitter, it must be true.
He couldn’t stand how Lila used to act.
“You!” Teddy exclaimed in anger.
Jamie quickly grabbed him. “Calm down. This isn’t the place for a confrontation.”
Dorian gritted his teeth when he saw Lila’s carefree and disrespectful demeanor. “Lila, can you knock?”
Yet, deep down, he thought that Lila had indeed come to find him after seeing the trending topic.
But his anger and inflated confidence pushed aside his idea of using the bracelet to move Lila. It existed in his mind for just a fleeting moment.
Dorian thought he could coax Lila, but only if she was obedient.
Lila took her time stepping back, then with a loud noise, she slammed the door shut and pounded on it a few times, causing the makeshift break room to shake slightly.
Moments later, the door was kicked open, and she appeared with a harmless smile. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I walked into the wrong room. Sorry for the disturbance. See you later.”
Dorian and Zara’s expressions darkened. Just as Dorian was about to voice his anger, the door was slammed shut again.
He felt as if he had been shut out, and his anger flared up. “Lila!”
Zara followed closely behind him. “Dorian, don’t get angry. Lila misunderstood us. Just explain it to her calmly. Don’t lose your temper.”
Her words only made Dorian’s expression darken.
Misunderstandings one after another… wasn’t that all they ever talked about?
After explaining so many times, they wouldn’t still be in such chaos if Lila could listen once.
Zara seemed to understand him well. Her words appeared to be mediating but were actually fueling the fire.
But when Dorian opened the door, Lila had already taken her companions into the adjacent room.
“I’ll be over at the production crew not far from you. Call me immediately if you encounter any issues, and remember to be polite when you meet your seniors,” she patiently instructed the two.
Though Nexus Entertainment invested in this drama, Teddy and Jamie’s ranks were not very high, and as newcomers, they didn’t have a private break room.
Someone in the room recognized Lila, and upon hearing her speak, everyone strained to listen.
Dorian led Zara into the room, and everyone immediately stood up to greet them, the flames of gossip flaring even higher.
Jamie and Teddy also got to their feet, politely saying hello.
Lila didn’t even look back. She made some arrangements before glancing at the time. “It’s about time. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Oh, and Teddy, since you’re a guy, make sure to take care of Jamie when issues arise. But you must contact me immediately if you encounter something you can’t solve.”
He quickly replied while smiling brightly, “Got it.”
He had thought that an agent who worked with a great actor would be arrogant
and hard to get along with, but to his surprise, Lila was quite easygoing.
Teddy’s favor for her grew exponentially.
Dorian watched their harmonious interaction, and his gaze darkened.
He clenched his fists, forcing himself to stay calm.
He shouldn’t fall for Lila’s tricks. She deliberately mingled with other men to provoke him!
Lila nodded, unconcerned about Dorian making things difficult for them after she left.
He had shares in the company, and if any negative news got out, it would equally impact him.
As Lila directly walked past them, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. “Lila, can we talk?”
Everyone in the room turned their curious eyes toward the two.
