    After they arrived at the restaurant, Mara found a table and sat. Balfour was about to sit next to Ivy


    when Mara tugged at his sleeve. “Balfour, what are you waiting for over there? Come on, take a seat.”


    “I was going to-‘


    Before Balfour could finish his sentence, Nn was already helping Ivy into her seat, even looking up


    at him innocently. “Balfour, why are you still standing?”


    With a cold expression, Balfour could only take a seat next to Mara.


    “Hello, what can I get for the four of you today? Would you like me to rmend some of our


    specials?”

    A waitress approached them, her eyes sparkling as she took in the attractive group before her, though


    she managed to restrain her excitement.


    Thedy seated inside looked like that famous actress who’s all the rage recently. Her best friend was


    a huge fan, but at that moment, she couldn’t recall her name.


    “No, thanks, I’ve been here before. Let’s have four orders of the grilled beef, one serving of the seared


    prawns, a bowl of the thick soup, and a cream sd-but hold the kale. Mr. Howard isn’t fond of that at


    all. See if there’s anything else you’d like, but the grilled beef here is second to none, so I took the


    liberty of ordering for everyone.”


    Ivy handed the menu over to Nn. She wasn’t much for lunch; as long as it filled her up, she was


    content.


    “Let’s add two of your rmended entrees and a bowl of the creamy pumpkin soup. That should be


    enough.”


    The four of them would have plenty to eat with this. As they waited for their meal, Mara suddenly called


    out to Ivy, asking her to apany her to the restroom. Ivy was perplexed.


    She was still using crutches to walk; why would Mara ask her to go along?


    “Just go to the restroom by yourself. She’s still recovering from her injury; it’s inconvenient for her,”


    Balfour said sternly.


    Mara stared intently at Ivy, her expression urgent.


    Ivy suddenly remembered–it might be Mara’s time of the month. They were the only two women


    present, and it would be awkward for anyone else to go. Despite the inconvenience, Ivy supported


    herself on her crutches and apanied Mara to the restroom.


    “I won’t go inside; I’ll just wait here for you. But I didn’t bring anything with me. If you needed help, I


    can’t do much anyway.”


    Mara turned from the mirror, looking rxed and without a hint of the urgency she’d shown earlier.


    “Ivy, when did I say I needed your help?”


    Seeing Mara with her hands sped high in the air, looking down at Ivy’s leg that still couldn’t bear


    weight, Ivy’s temper red.


    “What do you mean by this? Did you call me here just to provoke me?”


    Mara snorted. “Ivy, you’re a celebrated actress now. Compared to you, I’m just an ordinary person.


    What would I gain from provoking you? I just hope that next time, you’ll think before you act and not be


    so full of yourself. Especially when ites to-


    She leaned in close to Ivy, “staying away from my Balfour.”
