Chapter 2669 

“Of course, I’m really nervous, but more than that, I’m really excited. I’m looking forward to converse and learn from the industry veterans, Ivy said. 

“Your answers were watertight, Ivy. Clearly, you came prepared today,” the host teased. 

“But I’ve noticed that most of the actresses here tonight have brought dates. Didn’t you think of bringing a plus-one?” 

Ivy found the question odd. What did having a date have to do with anything? Weren’t they 

all here with their show’s crew? 

“Actually, I did have one, but it seems you’ve separated us,” Ivy replied with a playful smirk, noticing the host eyeing someone behind her. Perhaps she was taking up too much time, but the host showed no sign of taking the mic.

“You really pulled some strings, didn’t you?” she teased. 

Balfour took Ivy’s hand and led her back to the interview area, where the host looked on with satisfaction, watching this golden couple’s every move. 

“So, do you still hold a grudge against me for separating you from Ryan of your crew?” the host joked. 

The tension visibly drained from Ivy the moment Balfour appeared. Glancing at him, she 

said, “No hard feelings, no hard feelings. You’re my true date for the night, okay?”
