MainNovelChapter 153
Amelia said, "I don't know her. If | did, | would've invited her to eat together when | bumped into her at the door."
She then suddenly realized what Dorian was really asking.
Amelia laughed and added, "You're worried that I'm too interested in her and might investigate you through
mutual connections, right?"
"Don't worry." She waved her hand. "I'm just a fan of good looks. When | see someone pretty, | can't look away.
"Don't you think she's super beautiful? I've seen a lot of people praised for their godly beauty, or get called 'the
most beautiful woman in a thousand years’, but compared to her, they're nothing."
Dorian's face showed a complicated expression. He knew how beautiful Lila was, but hearing Amelia
complimenting someone so excessively made him feel that something was off.
However, Amelia didn't seem to sense any issue.
She smiled. "It's hard to describe the feeling Lila gives me. She's pure yet seductive. Those are two completely
opposite words, but somehow, they both suit her perfectly.
"Did you notice the scent on her? It's a light jasmine fragrance. I'll ask her later which perfshe uses."

She tapped her forehead as if snapping herself out of a trance. "Ah, it's late. | should be heading back now.
"Mr. Blake, it was a pleasure talking to you today. | look forward to our next meet- up."
Dorian watched her wave goodbye with a bright smile, and he was slightly dazed for a moment.
It was like seeing the old Lila but with less of the gentle warmth.
Dorian felt conflicted. On one hand, he said Lila was an orphan with no one to care for her. On the other hand, he
knew that her upbringing was better than anyone else's.
Her good manners made him think of her as a delicate flower.
He missed the Lila who once had him in her eyes and heart, who obediently listened to him.
He was lost in thought, unable to snap out of it.
It wasn't until someone called out for him to move that he returned to his senses.
He furrowed his brows, feeling ashamed of his unwarranted nostalgia for Lila.
Meanwhile, Lila picked up Jamie and Teddy and drove back to the set.
After returning to the hotel and packing, she was about to lie down when she received a friend request.
It was Amelia.
Lila's eyelid twitched. She had thought Amelia's words at the restaurant entrance were just her being polite.
But now, thinking Amelia might ask her all kinds of questions about Dorian, she didn't feel like accepting the
request.
However, considering the collaboration with Joyce Group and Citrus Media, she pursed her lips.
After a long stretch of work, she assumed Amelia had turned in for the night and hit "accept."
To her surprise, a message cthrough just after accepting the friend request.
"Lila, are you still awake?"
Lila was left speechless.
She thought momentarily and replied, "Just finished swork. | was about to go to bed."
Her message clearly signaled that she didn't feel like chatting.

As expected, Amelia was tactful.
"Then get srest. We can chat another day."
"Goodnight."
The filming for Samuel's movie wrapped up perfectly, and Lila immediately felt a wave of relaxation.
The crew held a banquet to celebrate, and after the event, Samuel gave Lila a small gift to celebrate the
successful completion of her first big movie.
Seeing her surprise and joy, Taylor and the other crew members also shared in her happiness, teasing Samuel for
acting like her "big brother".
It had been a joyful day, and Lila had a few drinks. She had to call for a designated driver when returning to the
hotel.
As she exited the elevator and turned the hallway's corner, she saw someone standing before her door.
Lila pinched her brow and muttered to herself, "I didn't drink that much. Why am | hallucinating?"
Why was Kieran standing outside her door?
Kieran was amused by her words. His cold, distant look softened, and he reached out to steady her.
