a simple announcement for the two newcomers? while pondering this, she called a colleague with whom she was

on good terms.

"Sorry, Lila, but I'm tied up. You have to figure this one out yourself."

Lita, not suspecting anything, reached out to another contact.

"Sorry, Ms Hart, but someone else has already been assigned to this event."

She sensed the pattem as she continued to make calls, each ending with more refusals. She then looked for

acquaintances from other companies but was rejected, Staring at her black-

Lila's lips curled into a mischievous smile. She wouldn't give it easily! She would carve out her own path?

The next day, Lila told Billy about her

would be easy to explain to Durin

Billy was thrilled and agreed without hesitation. The only downside was that the two newcomers he arranged for

her were almost ready to stact filming. If not, they could have audajoned for this film, too

Headed his chini confusion Dorian had previously stated that Lila's matters should be funded strictly and no help

should be given so why was he still allowing her to work with Taylor?

It didn't make sense, it seemed like a gbetween young lovers.

When Lila arrived on set the next day, she unexpectedly tan to

someone familiar. Ethan glanced over her shoulder and noticed Kieran's black Maybach turning

around nearby.

He recognized her as she stepped out of the butyrat

"Ms. Hart, what brings you here? Are you looking for Dorian" he asked casually

She frowned slightly, knowing if Ethan was here, Dorian was undoubtedly

She wasn't care whether it was bad luck or Taylor's influence. She looked

puzzled as she furrowed her brons.

As she pondered this, she recalled her clear stance when she met Taylor and Camille the

other day. Why were they arranged to be in the sproduction?

She even thought Camille should have made her stance clear to Dorian when he int them that day.

She replied flatly. "I'm here for work They're waiting for me. See you later."

Erhan didn't dwell on it and hurried off to find Dorian..

"Dorian! Dorian"

Dorian looked up, his expression darkening. Ethan quickly suppressed his nervousness. "I just saw Ms. Hart.

She's here on set." Dorianturned his head to glance outside and thought, "so, she followedhere? Looks like

she's scared and wants to apologize."

Why didn't she cover?" His brow slightly relaxed, but the irritation remained in his voice.

"She said she was here for work | didn't have tto ask her much, but | saw her get out of a luxury car.

"Didn't she say she was an orphan? How could she afford one? It was a business-

type Maybach. What's going on?"

Ethan rambled on, utterly oblivious to the darkening expression on Donian's face.

"Are you bored?"

Ethan immediately tell silent. He watched as Dorian got up angrily and walked outside. He looked like he was

going to settle a score with someone.

Knowing that Lila had arrived, Taylor had someone bring her over,

That day, she wore a beige cotton long-sleeve top embroidered with a branch of leaves paired with light blue

wide-

leg pants. Overall, she looked elegant and clean.

"Lala, chere! Letintroduce you to several of your senior predecessors!" Taylor, looking surprisingly

formal in his

dark-colored suit, seemed net

even

more amiable given his rotund

figure.
