He pulled her back to lean against his shoulder, “Do you remember what I told you? I'll never makeyou do anything you don’t want to. If you don't like the questions those people are asking, thennext time, I assure you, they won't be in your face again.”

When Balfour said he could do something, he meant it.

Ivy's heart raced at his words. She knew it wasn't right, but when she was cornered by that relentlessbunch, she too had wished they would just vanish.

And Balfour certainly had the means to make it happen.

“Let it be,” she sighed. “They have families to feed.”

Balfour let out a weary breath. Ivy was still as innocent as ever, considering the well-being of otherseven when they had been nothing but pests to her.

Did they even give a moment's thought to her situation when they hounded her with theirquestions?

They were like flies, swarming wherever the heat was.

Calling themselves reporters, they had long lost any semblance of professional integrity.

Just slaves to the almighty dollar.

Ivy always felt uneasy about it, “Just keep them away from me, okay? Let them chase after whoeverthey want.”

Balfour nodded, but his mind was already plotting. At the very least, he wanted those vultures toknow the difference between what's fair game and what's off-limits.

"Don’t worry about this mess, I'll talk to Evadne. How's the planning for your fan meetup going?”Balfour knew how much Ivy looked forward to connecting with her supporters, so it was an eventthat had been in the works for weeks.

Ivy was meticulous in every detail. She was hoping to give her fans the best experience possible.“Uh, it's almost all set. Should I save a ticket for you?

I wasn't sure what they'd enjoy, so I've prepared a little bit of everything. Thank goodness Iremember all the things I learned; otherwise, I'd be at a loss for what to showcase.”

Ivy's mind wandered to the day of the fan meetup. The mere thought of a room full of people whoadored her sent a thrill through her.

A long time ago, she never imagined being the object of such affection. Even a single confessioncaught her by surprise.

She truly couldn't fathom what it was about her that others found so likable.
