“She can’t stand it ammore. You should be seeking help from Lila, not her.” Dorian delt inndted, but the last part ignited his fury. It was indeed Lila’s doing!
What on earth had she done to comince someone like Alex, who wasn’teven close to her, to risk angering him, a screen legend, on her behalf?
He had underestimated Lila, she was truly capable! Dostan’s expression italented.

He couldn’t help but compare her to Lila when he noted her furrowed bauw in worry. All he remembered was her aggressive demeanor during their argument that day. When did she become like this?

Dolan hadn’t expected the news to spread so quickly.
“Is the news spreading this fast because someone’s deliberately spreading it?” Zara pointed out.
His expression grew colder. He became more convinced that this was Lila’s undeshed tactic to force him to compromise.
Without hesitation, he hung up the phone and headed straight to Lila’s place. Alterbanging on the door for half the day, there was still no answer.
His anger
er boiled over, not only had Alex shut him out, but now Lila was repeatedly making it impossible for him to find her. Was she trying to assert her dominance over him?
He furiously called her several times before she finally picked up.
“You need to ensure Ms. Parker continues teaching Darcy right now, or else
Lilafrowned. “Or else what?”
“you really think I don’t know what you did at Mount Shasta a couple of days ago?”
She was taken aback. “You know and still called me?”
“Lila, are you really that stubbom? Let me tell you, if you don’t rehire Ms. Parker, it’ll be over between uns!”
Dorian threatened her. “I’ve kept connections for you, but I’ll take them back. In this industry, you won’t be able to move an inch without me.
“Ms. Parker’s absence might impact Darcy’s future, but as long as I’m here, she’ll have plenty of opportunities. What about you, Lila? What do you have left without me?”
Did she really believe she could control him with just one incident involving Alex? Once he reclaimed all ser resources and connections, she would realize that she
was merely a subordinate to him.
“I’ll give you three days to consider. If not, I’ll make your departure from my team public. Just wait and see; I’ll show you how the industry reacts, and think about
how my fans will treat you. The outrage you wanted will become a reality!”
Listening to his harsh threats, Lila couldn’t help but feel a painful ache in her chest despite having told herselt many times that they were no longer commected.
Feeling overwhelmingly distressed, she didn’t cry but suddenly chuckled. “Sure. I’ll wait and see.”
With that, she abruptly hung up the call
