“You’re making a fuss over this small matter and dragged her into it is that appropriate? You just want to create trouble for her and Mr. Foster force me to give into you, right?

He stated at Lila, getely angry that she had reported him to Tayo. this led to a rift between them, it would surely affect his future.
Dorian knew Lila held Taylor and Camille in higher regard than he did. She surely wouldn’t want them to see her in a bad light.

He never expected the usually obedient Lila to be so unreasonable when she started causing a ruckus, Durian took a deep barath to calm himself down
The way Lila spoke to harshly, pushing him to the edge without hesitation, made it seem as if the truly wanted to cut all ties with him.
He let out a light laugh. He might have believed her if she had not retuned to Mount Shusta yesterday. And that lie about not being so magnanimous — she was willing to give up her dreams for him, so how could she genuinely want to breakup?
She was still just angry. He chuckled lightly.
