Chapter 2648


    The buzz was inevitable -Ivy and Balfour were bound to dominate the front pages of the news for the


    next two days.


    “Mr. Howard and our Ivy really don’t need any extra hype. Just look at their expressions – they’re both


    genuinely surprised. If you ask me, Mr. Howard chooses to sit among the fans, which means he doesn’t


    want to draw.too much attention to himself.


    But who would’ve thought? Against all odds, his number gets drawn. I’m actually quite curious to see


    what he’ll ask.”


    Balfour, struck by a sudden inspiration, asked Ivy if she had any interest in pursuing a music career.


    “You’ve got a killer voice, Ivy. I bet you’d rock the charts if you cut an album.”


    The suggestion had the fans buzzing with excitement.


    Could it be that Balfour was about to set Ivy on the path to a recording deal?


    “Hmm, I haven’t nned on dropping an album, but maybe someday if the stars align, might just do


    that.”


    For now, Ivy was focused on filming. She had only just starred in one film and there was still so much


    she wanted to achieve in that field. How could she possibly consider branching out into another so


    soon?


    However, if her fans showed enough love for the idea, she might consider releasing an album as a gift


    to fulfill their wishes. She always did her best to meet her fans’ requests.


    “Thanks for the question, sir. Now, let’s pick another fan.”


    Ivy’s cheeks were still flushed with excitement when the next fan took the mic, divi straight into


    personal territory, “Ivy, could you please share how you came to know CEO of the Howard Group?


    While we’ve all embraced your marriage, we’re still pretty curious about that. What kind o serendipity


    brought you two together? After all, one of you is a rising star in showbiz, and the other is a corporate


    mogul – it seems like you’re worlds apart.”


    The question made the fans a bit uneasy. It might’ve seemed like an innocent inquiry into Ivy’s love life,


    but it was, after all, their private matter.


    Indeed, Ivy was a public figure, but that didn’t mean she had any obligation to broadcast her personal


    life. Her fans should be content with her professional works.”


    Why the need to pry?


    Ivy picked up the microphone, pondering how to tackle the question. She didn’t want to spill every


    detail of their rtionship, but she knew many were curious even if they hadn’t voiced it. She needed to


    strike the right bnce, to not set a precedent for such invasive questions in the future.

    “Okay, I see. The first thing I want to say is that this concerns my private life, which I don’t really wish to


    parade before you all.


    I’ve shared with you the fact that I have a partner because I believe it’s an important part of my life that


    I wanted to share with you. But how we met and fell in love those are intimate details that belong only


    to us. I would need to have my partner’s consent before spilling those beans to anyone.”,”


    Everyone felt Ivy’s response was perfectly reasonable. But to their surprise, this persistent fan refused


    to back down and called out Balfour’s name right away.
