    “Grab a seat. It’s been a while! How have you been?” Ivy greeted Nn with a warm smile as he


    walked into the room, bypassing Balfour without so much as a nod.


    It was only after a brief exchange of pleasantries with Balfour that Nn turned to Ivy, his eyes


    twinkling with mischief. “Things are going great. Remember that shaky deal I mentionedst time?


    Nailed it.”


    Ivy’s face lit up at the news. “That’s fantastic! I knew that deal was a tough cookie to crack, but with a


    team like yours and your charm, I doubted any client could resist.”


    Nn chuckled and casually reached out to ruffle Ivy’s hair. The gesture caught both Ivy and Balfour off


    guard.


    Ivy instinctively ducked away, puzzled by the sudden disy of affection, especially with Balfour there,


    making the moment all the more awkward.


    “Ah-thanks, Nn,” she stammered, suddenly self-conscious. “Just wrapped up a shoot, totally forgot


    about my hair.”


    Nn kept grinning, offering no exnation for his behavior.


    Balfour, meanwhile, had risen to his full height, looming a solid inch over Nn. His stature alone


    seemed to fill the room with a silent authority.


    Ivy tugged at Balfour’s sleeve, hoping to avoid a scene. Nn didn’t drop by often, and she didn’t want


    to spoil the visit.


    Catching Ivy’s eye, Balfour acknowledged his quiet defeat. He couldn’t bear to see her upset, not after


    he’d already let her down once before.


    With a resigned sigh, Balfour settled back onto the couch, allowing the conversation to continue without


    his input. Despite the tension, he stayed put, a silent sentinel.


    “And what about you?” Nn asked, redirecting the focus back to Ivy. “How’s filming been since you


    got back? I heard your crew cleared their name. No more bullying usations, right?”


    Ivy beamed with pride. “It’s been a breath of fresh air since we went public with the evidence. We’re no


    longer walking around with thatbel hanging over us. Just like you said, although not everyone’s a fan,


    there’s definitely a buzz about the movie now,” she continued. “Before, we were all tight-lipped, worried


    about any bacsh. Now, we’re free to speak our minds.”


    Ivy was well aware of the skeptics who thought the controversy was a publicity stunt, but the majority


    were genuinely excited, especially about her performance. Critics who once spewed venom now


    praised her acting chops, though she took their words with a grain of salt. For lvy, the real judges were


    always the audience.


    As long as there were people willing to pay to see her work, that was all that really mattered.

    Ivy couldn’t deny the earlier usations had made them all look a bit foolish, but she wasn’t about to


    argue. Sometimes, it’s best to let the work speak for itself.


    “You have no idea,” Nn confided to Ivy, a wave of relief washing over him. “When I mentioned


    having a junior on Colton’s set, everyone was envious. But after the incident.st time, some people


    started making sarcastic remarks, and I dare-not say much. I believe in you for sure. But now, after the


    rification, that’s all in the past. That’s great!”


    Ivy’s relief was palpable, not just for herself, but for her fans too. They now had the vindication they


    deserved.
