He pulled her back to lean against his shoulder, “Do you remember what I told you? I’ll never make you
do anything you don’t want to. If you don’t like the questions those people are asking, then next time, I
assure you, they won’t be in your face again.”
When Balfour said he could do something, he meant it.
Ivy’s heart raced at his words. She knew it wasn’t right, but when she was cornered by that relentless
bunch, she too had wished they would just vanish.
And Balfour certainly had the means to make it happen.
“Let it be,” she sighed. “They have families to feed.”
Balfour let out a weary breath. Ivy was still as innocent as ever, considering the well-being of others
even when they had been nothing but pests to her.
Did they even give a moment’s thought to her situation when they hounded her with their questions?

Calling themselves reporters, they had long lost any semblance of professional integrity.
Just slaves to the almighty dollar.
Ivy always felt uneasy about it, “Just keep them away from me, okay? Let them chase after whoever
they want.”
Balfour nodded, but his mind was already plotting. At the very least, he wanted those vultures to know
the difference between what’s fair game and what’s off-limits.
He couldn’t stand to see Ivy demeaned like that again.

weave it.
Celebrities were always prime targets for generating buzz. Any slip-up, and they were
toast.
Ivy had already suffered once from this circus. Balfour wouldn’t watch her get tripped up by trivialities

“Don’t worry about this mess, I’ll talk to Evadne. How’s the planning for your fan meetup going?”
Balfour knew how much Ivy looked forward to connecting with her supporters, so it was an event that
had been in the works for weeks.
Ivy was meticulous in every detail. She was hoping to give her fans the best experience possible.
“Uh, it’s almost all set. Should I save a ticket for you?
I wasn’t sure what they’d enjoy, so I’ve prepared a little bit of everything. Thank goodness I remember
all the things I learned; otherwise, I’d be at a loss for what to showcase.”
Ivy’s mind wandered to the day of the fan meetup. The mere thought of a room full of people who
adored her sent a thrill through her.
A long time ago, she never imagined being the object of such affection. Even a single confession
caught her by surprise.
She truly couldn’t fathom what it was about her that others found so likable.
