“Ahem.” Taylor interpted. “You’re getting canied away”
Hesighed, comforting her, “Lila, don’t be too upset. The entertainment industry is full of half–truths. It’s not necessarily that he doesn’t appreciate your feelings. “You’ve both been though a lot together. You should sit down and talk things through. We’ve seen how well he treated you before.”
Camille wasn’t happy with that. “That was before. And as his gilined, Lila deserves that she’s been through so much with him over the year. He, of all people, should know that!
“I won’t argue with you when you say the entertainment industry is full of fakes. But it wasn’t just any gift, it was the bracelet! You know how important they are. “Backthen, Dorian worked himself to the bone, desperate for fame, and ended up gravely ill. Lila cared for him day and night, but he wasn’t getting better. She proved for those bracelets in desperation as a last hope
“How could he trample on that? Her voice was filled with a mix of anger and sorrow.
Taylor fell silent. There was no arguing with that..
But he also knew how hard it had been for the two to support each other all these years. It was unethical to destroy a relationship
Ulasat down beside Camille. She felt much better after crying
She shook her head, and her eyes were still misty as she said, “I already know the truth. I came here today to tell you I’ve broken up with Dorian
“From now on, we huve in connection. I hope you’re not disappointed in me
Camille paused, squeezing her hand. “Silly cold, how could we be disappointed in you? This isn’t your fault.”
She then glanced at Taylor. Although she had hinted at wanting them to break up earlier, that was just in the heat of the moment. Deep down, she agreed with Taylor that the two should discuss things
She and Taylorrated dreply for Lila and Dorian and had long hoped to see them marry and start a family.
“But Lala, are you sure? Taylor has a point. You should talk things over. If things don’t work out, we can bring Dorianover, scold him, and make him apologize.
– “Don’t act on imgulse. If you let these arguments destroy your love, it might be too late for regrets later.”
Lila protly shook her head, “I came here today after careful.comsideration. Breaking up wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment decision. I’ve already applied to leave his team and will soon start meddoring new talents.
“Talso plan to focus on my passion for directing and photography I don’t want to waste the opportunities you’ve given me.”
Taylor was taken aback. He had thought she was arting out of emotion, but it sermeil she had already thought everything though
Camille was silent for a moment before gripping Lila’s hand fighter. Her expression was full of conce. “I know you’re thoughtful woman, but you and Dosian fuve supported eachother for years
“In his heart, your’re ineplaceable, just because he’s confused now does
mente’ll always be Are you sure you don’t want in reconsider?”
Lila met her gaze with determination. “Mes–Foster, I’m not a clinging vite. I don’t live for a man and don’t want to waste my life waiting for someone uncertain.
But you love him somech. Can you let po?
A bitter taste crept to Lila’s mouth at those words “if he doesn’t love me, I won’t love mither. That’s only far. It may be hard to uproot, but I’ll pull him out of my piece by piece.”
Camille looked at her, admiration shining in her eyes.
She had always known Lila’s seemingly gentle exteriorbid an inner strength. She stood tall and unyielding against the wind like a flower blooming on a clitt.
Both she and Taylor could see that Lila had made up her mind, and nothing could change it.
“Lila,” Camilla said softly. “If you ever face more difficulties, don’t shoulder them alone. Taylor and I may not be as bivolved in the industry anymore, but we can still help you ”
Lila’s eyes welled up again at those words. All the grievances she had held onto for the past two years seemed to pour out today.
After staying for a meal, Camille subtly asked a few questions and learned that Dorian and Zara had lown each other since childhood. Once Lila left, Camille’s expression immediately darkened.
“Don’t get upset just yet. There might be a misunderstanding. That young woman asked for the bracelet in front of everyone, and Dorian, being connected to her, didn’t want to embarrass ber,” Taylor tried to reason.
“He didn’t want to embarrass her? And what about Lila? If people discover those bracelets were from her, and Dorian gave them to his childhood sweetheart, how would they view Lila?
“They may have a connection, but doesn’t Lila? Don’t give me that nonsense about rate versus familiarity. I’m not letting Dorian’s fickleness slide. Get someone to Investigate now–want to know what’s happening between those two.”
Taylor didn’t dare delay and immediately made some calls. He soon discovered that Dorian had supported Zara’s career for two years.
Camille’s expression grew even darker. “I used to think Dorian was considerate, so I trusted him with Lila. But now it’s clear he lacks boundaries.
“It was no wonder why Lila lost faith in him. You should’ve looked into this sooner! Lila has suttered all this time because you didn’t check up on things.”
Even though he was wronged by her scolding, Taylor didn’t dare argue
Camille slammed her hand on the table, she was an esteemed operatigue kwwn for her calm demeanor and hadn’t shown such emotion in years. “Call Dorian right now. Even if Lila can tolerate this, Lent!–
