MainNovelChapter 156
During that time, Dorian had Ethan calling and messaging Lila relentlessly-it was no different from harassment.
Ethan even sat by coldly when she was being
bullied.
If this happened to him, he wouldn't have held a conversation calmly during their encounter today.
He glanced at Lila and sighed secretly, knowing there wouldn't be another chance to work with her again.
He chose to leave Dorian precisely because he couldn't stand seeing him mistreat someone as genuine as her.
Seeing Ethan waiting for Lila to make a decision, Cedric turned his attention to her as well.
Under the bright lights, her face appeared even fairer and more delicate. Her bright eyes sparkled like stars,
captivating anyone who looked at them.
With graceful steps, she approached them and extended her hand toward Ethan. "I'm glad to have the chance to
work with you again, Ethan."
He seemed to be momentarily taken aback. He looked up, his gaze filled with disbelief. "L-Lila, you're not
blaming me?"

She smiled faintly, her gaze clear. This was just like when he first met her. After all these years, she had
remained true to herself-innocent and kind.
Ethan, a fully grown man, suddenly felt sentimental. He bit his lip as he gently shook her hand. "Lila, it's an
honor to strive for success with you again."
Having worked in the complicated entertainment industry for years, Cedric naturally saw through people's hearts
better.
During the company's background check on Ethan, they only knew that his previous company was Nexus
Entertainment. Seeing what happened today, Cedric easily deduced that Ethan had been part of Dorian's team.
Considering Lila's and Dorian's history, and that Ethan left after Lila, it was likely that Dorian had instructed him
to do something hurtful to her.
Yet, Lila was willing to bury the hatchet and work with Ethan again. Given their prior collaboration, they would
work well together.
This pleased Cedric, who smiled and said, "In that case, Lila will manage the division of tasks within your team."
After Cedric left, Ethan was still caught up in the surreal feeling. "So, I'll..."
Sensing his uneasiness, Lila also found this to be somewhat surreal. She felt that they were rather fated to cross
paths again. She composed herself and said, "Recently, those two have been busy filming on set, so there's not
much work.
"We'll have to contact scompanies and select ssuitable appearances for them. We can look through
films or variety shows."
Jamie and Teddy were led to makeup. Seeing that Lila was busy, Vince didn't want to bother her and headed off
to join them.
Ethan listened attentively, memorizing her every word.
"There's not much work today besides following them to their shoot." Lila thought for a moment. "Technically,
you should be on set with them. But as you know, Nexus is investing there, so Dorian will be present."
He frowned, looking troubled.
She chuckled softly. "What I'm trying to say is, you don't have to follow them for now. The work here is wrapping
up, and | don't have much left on my plate either. Let's select ssuitable projects for them. How about that?"
"O-Of course." Listening to her well-organized arrangements, Ethan felt a wave of nostalgia. It was as if he had
returned to the early days of working with her. Who would've thought that he'd circle back to her side after all
these twists and turns?
After finishing the indoor shoot, they moved to an outdoor location.

It was a small garden in Northridge City, dating back to the 17th century. Though the walls were weathered, the
plants still thrived. An old tree which was almost a century old stood tall and lush.
Ethan quickly immersed himself in work, bustling around Jamie and Teddy. Lila and Vince strolled behind them,
watching from afar.
During a break, Ethan approached Lila to talk. Vince took the hint and went to join Jamie.
Over the years, Ethan had learned a lot. He briefly analyzed the prospects of the two newcomers' development.
Just as he finished speaking, a sneer cfrom behind. "Ethan, did you quit Nexus just to follow this stray
around?"
That voice immediately gave Lila goosebumps. Although Zara's tone wasn't as sickly sweet as before, her mere
voice was enough to make Lila uncomfortable.
Lila turned around and met Zara's mocking gaze. Ethan frowned-he had never liked this woman from the start.
She used to address Lila affectionately, but her actions with Dorian were far more intimate than a couple. Who in
their right mind would ask someone else's boyfriend to keep her company for a week?
Zara crossed her arms, still arrogant as ever. "Leaving the screen legend to run errands here—what an idiot! Why
are you looking atlike that, Ethan? Am | wrong?
"If you regret it now, just begproperly. Perhaps I'll help you get back to Dorian's side."
