The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2502

Chapter 2502 

Ivy made her way to dance rehearsal, following the call sheet she had received earlier that day. 

“Cut- Ivy, you botched the move again. What’s with you today? You seem to be in another world. If you’re burnt out, maybe take a day off. You’ve got the routine down anyway. I just wanted you to keep it fresh,” the dance instructor said, a hint of concern lacing his words. 

Flushing with embarrassment, Ivy apologized, “I’m sorry. I guess I’m just not feeling it today.” 

“No worries. You heading out now? Mr. Howard hasn’t shown up yet though,” the instructor added.

Mara’s smirk faded. She had hoped that if Ivy came to her place, she could signal Clara to act. Meeting in a public coffee shop changed the game. 

“Fine by me. I’ll be there. I dare you to show up,” Mara said confidently. 

After sending a text to Balfour, Ivy silenced her phone. She needed to confront Mara face to face, and she couldn’t bear to burden Balfour with her worries. Would he trust her or question her if he knew her suspicions?
