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

Lila had a good sleep, but she woke up a bit late the next day.

She hurriedly got ready and went downstairs, only to find Kieran still there.

"Uncle Kieran, why haven't you gone to the office yet?"

He looked up and replied leisurely, "I'm waiting for you."

Lila nearly choked on her food. She took a sip of milk to help it go down. "I..."

Kieran glanced at his watch. "You're going to be late."

She immediately cast aside her other emotions. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Kieran. Today is quite important, and I can't be late."

She quickly drank a few more sips, worried about getting car sick.noveldrama

Kieran calmly followed her as she headed out. She sat in the passenger seat, munching the leftover bread.

"You can choose any car from the garage when you're free. If you don't like any of them, Cole can take you to look at other cars."

"Hmm?" Lila was confused.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to drive you around." His gaze was focused on the road ahead as he added, "Having a car can be more convenient for you when you're on your own..."

Like yesterday, he didn't finish that sentence.

Lila nodded. She hadn't driven before because she was always with Dorian.

With him around, she didn't need to drive.

Now, having a car would indeed be much more convenient.

However, she would pass on the cars in Kieran's garage and buy a cheaper one for commuting.

Kieran shook away her thoughts and didn't say anything more.

When they arrived at the company, Billy was already waiting in the office with some people.

Lila fell silent upon seeing the two newcomers.

The boy's name was Teddy Anderson, and the girl's was Jamie Lane. Both of them looked pretty good.

However, as newcomers, they were simply too fresh.

They had just debuted and had no portfolio to back them up.

Lila scrutinized them a bit more closely.

Teddy was tall, over five feet nine inches, and at 21 years old, he carried a youthful aura. When he wasn't smiling, he had a somewhat stern look.

Jamie was younger and just turned 20 this year. Her cheeks were round with some baby fat, but her features were gentle and cute, making her likable to audiences.

However, they seemed quite surprised to see Lila. Had Billy not informed them that she would be their agent?

Lila's gaze met Jamie's briefly, and she clearly saw something off in her eyes.

She didn't mind. Whether these two liked her or were willing to accept her as their agent, they had no choice but to accept the situation.

The filming location for the two was also at the film studio under Samuel, which Lila found quite fortunate.

The transport could have been troublesome if it had been in another studio.

Since she had agreed to take on this responsibility, she would be sure to look after them properly.

...

On the road, Lila asked for a copy of the script and glanced through it. It was a simple female lead story, and the roles selected for the two newcomers were quite good.

The characters stood out, and if performed well, they might gain popularity after the show aired.

She was considering whether she should find an acting coach for them. Would that be cutting it too close?

As she was mulling this over, Teddy suddenly asked, "When we get there, do you think Ms. Hayes will give us her autograph if I ask?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lila paused. "Who? What did you say?"

Her cold gaze caused Teddy to jump slightly. He swallowed hard before saying, "Ms. Hayes."

"You mean the one who recently won Best Actress at the Spectra Awards?"

Seeing him nod, Lila squeezed the script in her hands. Given Zara's status, it was unlikely that this drama would even be within her reach.

Moreover, Nexus Entertainment invested in this production. How could they possibly give the female lead role to an outsider?

Jamie chimed in, seemingly to remind her, "The male lead for this drama was changed to Mr. Blake, so the project has risen from A-level to S-level."

Lila chuckled softly at her words.

So that was it.

"And there's something else you might not know, Ms. Hart," Jamie continued.

Lila turned her gaze toward her, waiting for her to elaborate.
