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

Lila hugged her blanket happily while rolling around the bed twice in a row. She didn't seek Kieran out just to thank him in person. Instead, she chose to wear one of the long-sleeved shirts the next day.

She was meant to work as a photographer at Terry's event. It'd be inconvenient for her to do so in a dress.

"Do I look good, Uncle Kieran?" Lila called out right after she descended the stairs.

Kieran's gaze fell on her.

Over the years, he was the one filtering through most, if not all, of Lila's new clothes before presenting them to her. As time ticked past, all he had to do was glance at the clothes to know whether or not she looked good in them.

When Lila first joined the Morgan family, she was the only girl in her generation. Besides, she was the silent type who rarely spoke up.

Both Amelie and Nicole were worried that they might do a bad job of taking care of Lila. Whenever they prepared clothes for her, they tended to spend too much time picking them out for her. The longer they were at it, the harder it was for them to make up their minds.

So, Kieran helped them out by picking two outfits for Lila. After she tried on them, Amelie and Nicole were very satisfied with the results.

Since then, Amelie had let Kieran be in charge of picking out new clothes for Lila every year.

It was a good thing that Kieran didn't view the task as a troublesome one. In fact, he had a feeling that he was playing a real-life dress-up game this whole time.

Maybe it was because of the fact that Lila was an extremely beautiful girl back then. She looked gorgeous in everything she wore.

Kieran smiled. "The clothes suit you."

"Thank you, Uncle Kieran!" Lila smiled happily.

"I'll give you a ride to the event location after breakfast."

"It's fine." Lila took a seat across from Kieran. "The location's quite close to our place. I can just drive there.

"By the way, why is it that I don't see Noah at all these days? Is he participating in a competition abroad again?"

Kieran looked up from his plate. "He went to visit a friend."

Lila looked confused. Did Noah make plans to hang out with his friend?

Wait, he had another person whom he could call his best friend other than his teammates?

Still, she didn't ask any questions. After breakfast, she said her goodbyes to Kieran before heading toward Northridge Extel Center to meet up with Terry.

Before leaving the mansion, Lila had informed Terry of her estimated arrival time. When she arrived at the building, she was quick to spot him waiting for her outside the lobby.

He took the liberty to accept the case which contained Lila's camera.

"I was worried that you might not have time, but I still tried my luck by approaching you. I didn't expect to be able to hire a famous director like you for the day. Am I underutilizing your talent, Lila?"

"Alright, enough with the teasing. How many celebrities did you invite to attend your offline event?" Lila smiled before changing the topic.

"There are seven of them-three first-tier, two second-tier, and three third-tier artists. But all of them are quite popular this year.

"This charity event is meant to be publicized anyway. It's difficult for us to spend a lot of money on inviting top-tier celebrities, but at the same time, we need to invite those who are very popular. That way, we can attract more people into joining the charitable cause." noveldrama

Lila understood the situation right away. "The fact that you can invite three first-tier artists means that you've done a great job."

"Of course! At first, I only managed

to invite one of them. Right, I haven't told you this yet, but Pierre Locke will be attending the event as well. I took the liberty to tell him to invite a close friend of his to the event."

Lila frowned slightly at Terry's words. Her reaction was what he had expected.

"Don't worry, Lila. There will be a lot of people attending the event today. Not to mention, many of his fans are present too. He'll definitely watch his own behavior. Besides, I'm here to keep things under control as well."

If not for the fact that Terry didn't have a choice, he'd never want to let Pierre and Lila meet up again.

She just nodded mutely.

While Terry was a reliable man who looked flippant and wishy-washy on the outside, Pierre was the complete opposite. He might look like a nice guy, but he was secretly a flirtatious playboy.

Pierre's family background was superior to Terry's. Moreover, he was a gorgeous man, too. He often had female companions hanging off his arm since high school.

When he was a university student, he decided to join the entertainment industry with the help of his family's resources. His family was loaded, anyway. Besides, his grandfather, Martin Locke, spoiled him to no end.

After joining the entertainment industry, Pierre's romantic scandals were churned out continuously. But his fans loved his Casanova persona thanks to his looks.

In fact, they all defended him, saying that he had already made it clear that he was a jerk from the start. Apparently to them, he was a lot better than jerks who put on gentlemanly facades.

Lila would always agree to disagree with Pierre's fans. Truthfully speaking, there was another reason as to why she disliked Pierre greatly.

While her mind was still whirring with thoughts, Terry led her into the elevator. The moment they stepped out on the designated floor, they happened to notice Pierre.
