Chapter 2326
Some actors, they get too cozy in their own digs, and the next thing you know, they can’t slip back into character when they hit the set.
But Ivy was different. She could come back ready to roll at anytime.
First time out of the gate and she’s knocking it out of the park. No wonder why.
So, even with a bunch of backers whispering in his ear to trade Ivy out for another face,
Colton wouldn’t dream of it.
Margot was puzzled. Ivy was lounging in her swanky villa, so why the sudden interest in a modest two-bed apartment?
“Of course, there’s space. The director booked extra, just in case. Why? You’re not seriously considering moving into the dorm, are you? Mr. Howard won’t agree to that, I’m
sure!”
A smirk played on ivy’s lips, “What’s it to me what he thinks? Tell the director for me, would you? I’m moving in tomorrow. I’ll just pack up and leave after we wrap.”
Even Margot, with her head in the clouds, sensed some static between Balfour and Ivy.
But the thought of Ivy joining her in the dorms perked her right up.
“Deal! I’ll give the director a shout first thing. We can make a real go of rehearsals in the evenings.”
That cracked a smile on Ivy’s face, “Thanks.
She hung up and conked out without another thought, only to find the pillow beside her ruffled come morning.
No clue when Balfour had crept back in, but it didn’t matter; she was bound for the dorms
anyway.
Distance would keep her head clear from the drama.
Tiptoeing out of bed, Ivy barely missed Balfour breezing in, a chill clinging to him from
outside.
“You’re awake. Let’s grab some breakfast.”
She couldn’t argue with that. It was only when she sat down at the dining table that she flashed a smile at Dean and Alyssa.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Ivy chimed.
“Like logs. How’s the foot today?”
Not long after, Balfour helped Mara into the dining room, her ankle wrapped tight, looking

like a real doozy.
It puzzled everyone, Alyssa voiced it, “What’s the story, Ms. Lewis? You were fine las night,”
Mara laughed it off, a little embarrassed, “Clumsy me, knocked over my glass. Scalded ankle pretty good. Luckily, Balfour rushed me to the ER, or I’d have been in agony.”
Injury seemed to sweeten her disposition.
Alyssa mused, “Seems like Ms. Lewis isn’t jiving with the local vibes. Ever since coming here, it’s been one thing after another. Might be best to go back home and continue your studies.”
Mara just offered an awkward chuckle, no rebuttal.
Ivy kept to her cereal, waiting for the right moment to wipe her mouth clean.
“Grandma, Grandpa, I might have to move to the crew’s dormitory, in order to make it more convenient for the shoot.”
Alyssa didn’t get a word in before Balfour laid down a firm “No.”
Ivy locked eyes with him, “And why not?”
Balfour scowled, “Isn’t it obvious?”
