Chapter 103
Dorian pursed his lips, trying to control his emotions. "Lila, I'm your boyfriend. What's wrong with wanting to
know about you?"
Lila found his words both ridiculous and absurd. He seemed like a fool who couldn't understand simple things.
She took a deep breath and finally said, "Dorian, are you genuinely trying to understand me, or are you just
afraid I'll feel uneasy seeing you and Zara together like a couple?"
His facial expression changed, looking as if she had struck a nerve. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't bring
himself to do so.
"Lila, what do you mean by that? | only went to meet a business partner today. He knew Zara from before, so |
brought her along to make things easier."
She scoffed. "Why do you both need to hold hands to meet the client? | almost thought you two were getting
married and walking down the red carpet."

He frowned, clearly frustrated. "Lila, don't you trust me? | didn't tell you just because | didn't want you to be
upset."
She couldn't help but laugh. Did he not tell her because he was afraid she would be upset? If he knew she would
be upset, why did he bring Zara along in the first place?
He knew it was wrong, but he still went ahead with it. Was he so stupid that he couldn't see how weak and
ridiculous his excuse was?
She sneered. "Well, if you believe that, fine then. I'm going back to rest. You do whatever you want."
Dorian looked at her mocking smile and the cold indifference on her face. His grip tightened into a fist at his side.
The sight of Lila, so sharp and prickly, made him lose his patience entirely.
Why was she so defiant? Her stubbornness was enough to drive him to frustration. Why couldn't she be as gentle
and obedient as Zara?
For the first time, he wondered if they should just break up. If he broke up with her, wouldn't Zara be a better
choice? Plenty of women wanted to please him, so why was he stuck with this difficult, stubborn one?
He didn't understand where Lila an orphan with no family or support-got the audacity to act like this. With that
thought, he lost the desire to explain further. He watched her walk away and didn't stop her.
Lila didn't go upstairs immediately. Instead, she went to the hotel reception to change her room so she wouldn't
have to see Dorian waiting at her door when she returned and let him ruin her mood.
The next day, there was an issue with sequipment on set, so Samuel suggested she take the opportunity to
check on Jamie and Teddy. She initially planned to stay and help but realized she had been busy and hadn't taken
any photos or vlogs of the two newcomers yet.
She smiled gratefully at Samuel and quickly returned to the hotel to grab her camera.
Jamie and Teddy were just finishing a few extra shots with the new female lead when she arrived. Upon hearing
that she was there, Dorian didn't cout of the lounge.

Darcy shot her a disdainful look. What a vixen! Lila couldn't stand a day without trying to catch Dorian's
attention.
Lila was worried that the flashing lights might disturb Leonard's shoot, so she quietly recorded a few videos. She
planned to make a promotional vlog for the when it aired. When the next scene didn't feature either of
them, she snapped a few group photos.
"I'll take a few solo shots of you both as well. When it's tto wrap up, we can post them on social media," she
said while reviewing the shots, which turned out quite well. "Let's start with Jamie. Stand over there where the
light hits you. It's a bit bright, but keep your eyes open."
Jamie obediently stood in position, following her instructions.
Teddy, who was able to walk more steadily now, limped over to her. "Ms. Hart, if you're free later, could you help
"Huh?" Jamie suddenly spoke up, her usual gentle demeanor gone. "Why did you say what | was going to say?"
She blinked innocently, looking a bit guilty.
He chuckled, clearly pleased with himself. "First come, first served. Don't steal my chance."
