Ivy’s gaze turned icy when she spotted Giselle approaching.
After taking off her designer sunsses, Giselle stepped closer, attempting to grasp Ivy’s
hands.
But Ivy sidestepped just enough to dodge the embrace.
Giselle lunged forward, missing her target and almost face-nting against the car door. Her feet in
high heels nearly twisted.
*Ouch!”

Giselle’s cry of distress drew a crowd of concerned crew members, their sympathetic eyes on her and
their res of reproach directed at Ivy.
“Giselle, are you alright? Did you sprain your ankle? What’s with our lucktely? First Diana steps on a
thumbtack, and now you nearly take a tumble!”
“Hmph, I’ve been saying it all along – someone’s bad mojo is messing with our set. We should rece
the starlet before we all get jinxed. Did you see that? Giselle was just trying to be friendly, and she got
the cold shoulder. No wonder she almost fell!”
The woman behind the sses pushed them up her nose, clearly itching to turn everyone against Ivy.
Looking like a wounded fawn, Giselle became even more pitiable in the eyes of the onlookers.
Hearing the crew weave tales about Ivy, Giselle jumped to her defense with feigned concern, “Don’t be
so harsh on Ivy; she’s not like that! We’ve known each other for ages, and she’s never done anything
like this before. Maybe she’s got her reasons this time!”
Giselle, ever the drama queen, made a beeline for Ivy and forced a hand-holding scene. Her eyes were
filled with feigned understanding and forgiveness.
“Ivy, I know you must be going through something tough. You wouldn’t act like this otherwise. You’ve
never hurt anyone before, how could you possibly start with Diana? Ivy, please, clear the air with
everyone. Tell them it wasn’t intentional!”
The more Giselle spoke for Ivy, the more everyone else believed that Giselle was being fooled by her
own innocence and kindness.
Someone, unable to stand it any longer, chided Ivy with annoyance, “Ivy, how can you live with
yourself, betraying Giselle’s trust like that? Don’t you feel any remorse? Giselle has been making
excuses for you. And here you are, not even flinching. I’ve been in this industry for years, and I’ve
never seen someone as cold as you.”
Ivy sneered inwardly. She had been in the business for just a month, yet she’d already

seen so many of the tricks people pulled – all aimed at her.
What an eye-opener.
Now she could thank the crew for showing her that they were just colleagues at best, never friends.
After a brief coboration, they’d part ways.
No need for exnations with this bunch.
Ivy shook off Giselle’s hand with force.
“Sorry to break it to you, Giselle, but I recall we’re not exactly besties. Please stop clinging to me like
we’re really friends. Maybe you’re too caught up in your roles to notice, but I find this charade quite
nauseating.”
Feigning a wounded heart, Giselle clutched her chest and staggered back dramatically.
“Ivy, how can you say such things? I know you’re upset, but taking it out on me isn’t fair! Come on, just
exin to everyone that it was all a big misunderstanding. I’m sure they’ll forgive you.”
