MainNovelChapter 94
After parting ways with Terry, Lila decided to head back to the hotel instead of going to the film set.
She spotted Dorian waiting outside her door as she turned the corner of the hallway on her way upstairs.
She pursed her lip, considering whether to go to the reception and request a room change. But he had already
seen her and was walking toward her.
"Lila."
She looked up with a faint and distant gaze. "Is there something you need?"
Even though Dorian had repeatedly reassured himself that Lila's coldness was expected, seeing her like this still
unsettled him.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her not to speak to him that way.
But after a moment, he changed his approach. "Lila, | cto explain what happened with Zara today."
She regarded him with a neutral expression. "That's your business. There's no need to explain it to me."
He grew anxious. "My business is your business. Didn't you say that before? Lila, | really just planned to have her
stay withfor a few days. She's definitely going to pursue an acting career. She's not suited to being an
assistant, and there's no future in that job."
Lila laughed at his words. "You're right. There's no future in that job, so why would I agree to it?"
He was stunned. "That's not what | meant! Besides, you're my agent. This way, you can stay by my side. Don't
you want that?"
"I don't want it," she replied bluntly. Lila didn't want to give him even a glimmer of hope. In truth, they should
have cut ties cleanly by now.
Dorian pressed his lips together and said, "Right, your dream is to beca great director. Staying by my side
all the twouldn't work."
He calmed himself. "I-1 also mentioned | won't assign you a lot of work. You can be the director, and I'll be the
male lead. This way, it works out perfectly. You have such a great eye for scripts, so I'm sure the ones you pick
will be fantastic. And this way, | get to stay by your side. It's just the same."
Lila was rendered speechless.
After he beca screen legend, his workload only increased.
She had been removed as his agent and now had more free tto relearn the ropes and work on small
productions.
She had once suggested that he act as her male lead. At that time, he had responded that he had no tand
that small productions wouldn't benefit his career. Working on them would be a waste of time, he'd said.

He had never once considered supporting Lila. He kept giving Zara leading roles but couldn't find a decent script
for her to direct.
These tasks shouldn't have been complex for someone with his fand resources. Now that they were broken
up, he suddenly had tto find resources and work with her.
As she pondered this, a trace of sarcasm crossed her eyes. After a moment, she looked up and gently shook her
head. "I don't have time."
Dorian clenched his hands at his sides. He once used those words to respond to her, and now he realized how
hurtful they could be.
His gaze dimmed slightly, but he said softly, "It's alright. In the future, you—"
"Dorian." Lila met his eyes, her tone as flat as her gaze. "You keep saying you won't pressure me, yet you won't
even leavea moment to breathe. It's exhausting."
Seeing her distant demeanor, he felt utterly drained. "Lila, can you really not forgive me?"
