    Chapter 2079


    Ivy, with her head tipped back and a genuine smile, thanked Nn from the bottom of her heart. “I was


    feeling kinda down today, but this icedtte you brought me really perked me up. Thanks for the


    caffeine fix, Nn.”


    Her eyshes curved upwards, adding to the innocent charm that her unaltered costume from the


    movie set – a high school cheerleader outfit – bestowed upon her. She looked both youthful and


    delicate.


    “You know, I totally forgot to mention it, but I caught that behind-the-scenes clip online. You nailed it.


    You are absolutely the spitting image of the lead! I can hardly wait to see the full movie on the big


    screen.”


    A hint of shyness crept into Ivy’s demeanor as she ran her fingers through her hair, “Really? I’m thrilled


    you liked it. There’s so much more to the character that hasn’t been revealed yet. But I can’t tell you


    more for now,” she teased, before taking a big sip of hertte.


    Nn nodded, “From the sneak peek, it’s pretty clear that Valor and David have met before. It wouldn’t


    make sense for a stranger in a new city to recognize Valor’s home on sight. Am I right?”


    Ivy always enjoyed talking about movies’ plot with others.


    But, of course, she couldn’t spoil the story this time.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Once the moviees out, all will be revealed,” sheughed. “For now, my lips are sealed!”


    “Is that so? I bet there’s a twist in there somewhere. I’m dying to see it in theaters.”


    “Well, once it hits, consider your ticket on me!”


    Their conversation flowed effortlessly.


    Balfour stepped out of Giselle’s ce just in time to catch their exchange. The way Ivy’s gaze softened


    when she looked at Nn, so candid and rxed, it was a stark contrast to the tongue-tied girl she was


    earlier.


    “Oh, what a coincidence, Nn! Here to visit the set like Balfour?” Giselle also saw Nn as she


    followed Balfour’s steps. Nn shook his head with a straightforward “Nope, I’m here for Ivy.”


    He acknowledged Balfour with a simple nod, “Balfour.”


    Balfour returned the nod with a cool detachment. His aloof, untouchable demeanor was something that


    nearly drove Giselle wild. “Oh of course, I’m just kidding! You’re obviously here for Ivy,” Giselle drawled,


    her gaze darting between Ivy and Nn like she was onto some juicy secret.


    “Since everyone’s here, how about we go grab a bite?” she bubbled with enthusiasm, hooking her arm


    through Ivy’s. “You must be beat from filming. Let’s rx and have lunch together.”


    Ivy tried to wriggle free, not keen on the idea of dining with people she wasn’t fond of, especially when


    it was likely Nn just happened to be passing by and had his own things to do.


    “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Nn’s got other ns, right?”


    She merely meant to put the idea out there, but Balfour let out a scoff, his face etched with sarcasm.


    As Ivy met his gaze, she felt a sting. His mockery cut deep.


    “What’s with the smirk?” Ivy frowned as she asked.
