    Chapter 2032


    With that simple affirmation, Balfour sprawled out on the bed and soon drifted into a rarefortable


    slumber.


    This particr night, Balfour found the elusive embrace of restful sleep.


    Ivy waited for Balfour’s breathing to even out, signaling he was asleep, before she quietlyy beside


    him, eventually sumbing to her drowsiness.


    The next morning, Balfour was already off to the office.


    Ivy gazed at the empty space beside her, lost in thought, then quickly freshened up and headed out the


    door. Today, she had a photo shoot for the costume fitting of “Bad of Valor.”


    The production had hired the best styling team in the business, and they already had some looks


    prepared for Ivy.


    Thanks to the prep work, the fitting went by swiftly.


    Since it was a still photo shoot with no need for an emotional range, Ivy found the process rtively


    smooth.


    A weekter, “Bad of Valor” officially started filming.


    As the lead actress, Ivy got up at the crack of dawn on the first day of shooting. After getting through


    hair and makeup, she showed up on set.


    “I knew it, you’re the perfect fit for ‘Bad of Valor,” Colton said, eyeing her transformation with sheer


    satisfaction.


    When Ivy walked onto the set, Colton felt like the heroine had stepped right out of the script.


    Following the crew’s cues, the kick-off was formal, and Ivy felt the responsibility’s weight settle on her


    shoulders.


    The film was a vessel of hope and hard work, carrying the expectations of many.


    As the face of the production, Ivy feared she might not live up to the hype.


    However, as is often the case, anxiety only breeds mistakes. Once filming officiallymenced, Ivy


    could not even nail the most straightforward entrance scene. Take after take was flubbed, leaving even


    the director, Colton, at his wits’ end.


    “Ivy, are you too tense?” He asked.


    Embarrassed by the dys she was causing, Ivy apologized.


    “I’m sorry, Director. It’s my first time acting, and I’m just…really nervous in front of the camera.”


    “Don’t worry about it. I told you before, no need to be nervous. Let’s take a half-hour break. Rx a bit,


    and we’ll start again. You’ll be fine,” Colton reassured her with a pat on the shoulder before heading


    toward the break area.


    Despite Colton’sck of me, Ivy knew the slow progress was on her.


    The other actors had been ready since early morning, fully made up and waiting to film their scenes.


    But they all had to wait because Ivy’s scene was not wrapped up yet.


    Feeling defeated, Ivy wondered if she was really cut out for acting or if taking this role for the money


    was a mistake.


    “Hey, everyone, you must be exhausted, right? How about some icedttes?”


    “I was just shooting nearby and thought I’d swing by to check on everyone and see Colton!”


    Just as Ivy hit her lowest point, as if cursed by bad luck, Giselle appeared.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
