Chapter 2047

The agent winked at her assistant, who immediately caught on with a knowing grin.

“C’mon, Giselle, you’re the fairy godmother of the industry. There’s no rush to reinvent yourself,” the assistant

coaxed with a smile.

Despite their tag-team encouragement, Giselle could not shake off the feeling of unease. The thought of being

upstaged by a newcomer like Ivy gnawed at her she could not rest until she had put this upstart in her place.

The morning shoot wrapped up, and Ivy, having no scenes in the afternoon, decided to head back to the hotel to

relax and review her script.

Stepping out of the set, Ivy saw Giselle waiting by a sleek SUV, her face breaking into a smile. “Ivy, over here. I

Ivy was not fond of Giselle, nor did she wish to entangle herself more than necessary.

But there she was, summoning her with such warmth in front of everyone. Ignoring her would stir the rumor mill.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ivy approached with a forced smile. “What’s up, Giselle?”

Giselle beamed, taking Ivy’s hand with feigned affection. “Just got back from a hospital visit and bumped into you.

Ivy reluctantly climbed into Giselle’s SUV.

Her words seemed caring, but they carried a mocking tone under the surface.

Giselle ordered for the both of them at the restaurant, not bothering to ask about Ivy’s preferences. “Have you

Ivy glanced around and shook her head. “No, I haven’t. Why?”

Giselle feigned surprise. “Oh, I thought Balfour might have brought you here. I had a hard time with the local fare

Ivy was taken aback, then responded dryly, “That’s quite thoughtful of Balfour.”

“Yes, he’s always been good to me. Just that I’ve been focusing on my career, so I haven’t given him an answer.”

An answer to what?
