too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

Pierre raised his head with a half-smile, choosing to stare at Lila.

His fans' cheers escalated to a whole new level.

As Pierre gazed at Lila, whose expression was cold as she stood beneath the stage, his desire to conquer her flared even more.

Over the years, he had bedded countless women, ranging from mature and sensual older women to innocent high school students. While his conquests had a variety of styles and personas, he had never met someone as unique as Lila.

Lila looked innocent and cute at first glance, but her innate sensual charms were off the charts.

The first time Pierre met her, he had already developed an uncontrollable urge to pin her down and ravish her on the spot. The fact that he could suppress his urge until their third meeting spoke volumes about his attempt to respect his other friends.

Unfortunately, he was one step away from succeeding.noveldrama

Till now, Pierre still remembered the marvelous sensation of feeling Lila's silky smooth skin from the time he had touched her.

She was definitely a precious jewel to behold. Alas, his impatience ruined everything in the end.

Ever since Pierre failed to abduct Lila and bring her to his bed, he felt that the other women whom he slept with after that lacked a certain charm to them in bed.

Even when Lila was struggling against him while warning him to back off from her, the urges he felt far transcended the times he had spent with those women.

To think that Dorian was willing to give up on such a fine specimen like Lila... That man truly didn't have an eye for beauty.

Pierre narrowed his eyes slightly. Soon, a dark glint appeared in his eyes.

Terry shook his head at Pierre as a hint for him to mind his behavior in public. However, Pierre had already spoken up at that time.

"I have just noticed that the photographer's gorgeous."

The host was momentarily stunned when he heard Pierre's comment. Even his fans' cheers died down a little.

Tommy was the first to react when Lila's face appeared on the huge monitor screen. He quickly angled his body in order to shield her face from the camera.

Soon, Terry's silhouette was cast onto the monitor instead.

"What the heck is going on?"

"Who's the photographer?"

"If Pierre praised the photographer's looks, that means she must be a walking bombshell! Everyone knows how picky he is with looks!"

"Hey, Ms. Photographer! Let us look at you!"

Lila was quite close to the area where Pierre's fans were. She could capture a few louder wisps of dialogue amidst the chaotic mumbles and murmurs.

Terry made sure to shield Lila

properly as he picked up a microphone. "Sorry, everyone. Today's photographer is a friend of mine whom I asked to fill in the slot at the very last minute. She's not from the entertainment industry. Mr. Locke, please let my friend off the hook, alright?"

He made sure to use a light-hearted and teasing tone at the end of his response.

Pierre looked rather thoughtful for a moment. Then, he responded with a half- smile, "I didn't think things through. Please forgive me for my rudeness, Ms. Photographer."

Since he didn't continue the topic, the host let out a small sigh of relief as well. He had meant to hype the atmosphere up but didn't expect to have almost screwed things up.

After that, the host dared not improvise anything throughout the rest of the event. Instead, he stuck to the schedule. Just like that, the event ended without a hitch.

But this incident still ended up

causing a small splash on the

Internet. Someone had recorded the things Pierre said at the event before

uploading it to Twitter. Many f

kept asking about the identity of the mysterious photographer

"What does Ms. Photographer look like? I'm quite curious."

"Me too."

"Everyone knows that Pierre always gets laid in the entertainment industry."

"Pierre was talking to a young woman before the event started. Terry was there as well."

"I saw them talking too! Pierre tried to shake that woman's hand, but Terry stopped him right away! At least, that's what I saw."

"Wow, Pierre must be head over heels in love with that photographer! Why else

did he compliment her on the stage blatantly?"

"When can I receive this type of treatment?"

After the event was over, all the staff members went backstage. Lila had been keeping her mask on the whole time. She never bothered taking it off.

She sat on a chair while patiently waiting for Terry to stop talking to an investor. As she scrolled through the Internet, she came across Pierre's post which had garnered many likes and comments. The sight of the post's popularity made her feel nauseous. Contént

Lila lost her urge to play on her phone right away. However, the moment she

turned off her phone, she noticed Pierre heading her way, blatantly staring at her the whole time.
