Now, the whole crew was dragged into the mire, making him wonder if they had chosen.
an inauspicious time to start filming.
“I really owe y
you an apology. Her only demand was to have more screen time than you She’s still the
second lead on paper, but behind the scenes, she’s aiming for the spotlight.” Ivy’s mouth
dropped open in astonishment. “All that scheming for just this one demand?”
She did not know whether to call Diana foolish or just plain idle.
And was her agency really just letting her run wild like this?
“There’s nothing to apologize for. It’s an acceptable condition. It spares the production of
any major damage and allows the project to move forward. It’s a win-win.”
Ivy genuinely was not fazed, except occasionally wondering about Diana’s motives for
such a demand.
She would not mourn the reduced screen time or blame the director and producer.
It was evident they were both trying their hardest.

her career.
Especially for a newcomer like her, who went from obscurity to the silver screen in one
bold stride.
“Aren’t you upset? Anyone else would be livid.”
Hearing that, Ivy finally revealed a hint of surprise.
“Why should I be? I’m not the director or the screenwriter. My screen time was always in
your hands; now, I just know I’ll be getting a little less of it sooner rather than later. It’s not
like you’re firing me on the spot. Instead, it’s Diana. I don’t get why she set those terms.
What’s in it for her? If I were in her shoes, I’d make sure you recast me.”
The director gave an awkward chuckle, not expecting Ivy to have such a sharp wit.
“Alright, if it doesn’t bother you, let’s just move on from this. We can put it all behind us
once she releases a video clearing up the situation.”
Ivy nodded in agreement, hoping to get back to filming as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in M State, Balfour finally caught wind of the news. His first impulse was to fly
-back and clean up the mess for Ivy
The drama on set was ridiculous. No sooner had one diva left than another kind of “drama
queen” arrived.
However, recalling their cold war before he left, Balfour was not eager to chase after her.
He sent Ivy a message instead.
[What’s going on with your crew now?]
Ivy had set a special ringtone for Balfour, so when it sounded, she knew instantly it w him.
It was rare for him to text her.
Seeing Balfour’s puzzled message, Ivy decided not to respond this time. Every reply mea
dependency, wanting Balfour by her side.
But he was not someone she could aspire to, not with all the unresolved issues between
them.
After a moment’s thought, she set the phone down. This time, she truly did not want to
respond to Balfour.
To Balfour’s surprise, ten minutes passed, then an hour, with no reply from Ivy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter shooting scenes all afternoon, Ivy checked her phone to find Balfour’s message left
unanswered for hours.
She used to reply to him instantly, but now that she was deliberately not responding, it did
not seem to matter as much as she thought it would.

Balfour did not press for an answer, making her feel more at ease.
She knew that Balfour was probably not willing to message her anymore.
He was back with the woman who mattered most to him. How could he remember their
fleeting connection?!
“Ms. Dunhill, it’s time to prepare for your next scene!”
A timid-looking girl approached to inform her, hesitating as if there was more to say.
Ivy snapped out of her reverie. Having decided to move forward, she did not need to dwell
on the past.
“Alright, I’m on it.”
As Ivy was about to rise, she noticed the girl had not left. Thus, she asked, “Is there
something else?”
