Chapter 2134
Ivy strutted forward, her heels clicking with an assertive rhythm that seemed to resonate with her fierce presence.
In contrast, Giselle, who usually carried herself with an air of arrogance, suddenly felt a wave of insecurity wash over her at the sight of Ivy. She even took an unintentional step back.
Seizing the moment, Ivy flashed a disarming smile and said, “Giselle, fancy meeting you here. Weren’t you supposed to have a busy morning on set today? I heard you had quite a few scenes lined up.”
Ivy’s words seemed to glide over Giselle’s obvious panic.
Brushing her hair because of inner unease, Giselle attempted to retain her composure, “I… I just happened to be passing by and thought I’d pop in for a look. A visit to the police station might come in handy for a future role.”
“Who would just happen’ to swing by a police station? Could it be that you’re here to visit someone, Giselle?”
Ivy’s smile, relaxed and self-assured, only served to irritate Giselle further.
Giselle’s teeth was itching with annoyance.
“As an actress, it’s part of my job to observe life. What’s wrong with visiting a police station? And why do you care where I go? More to the point, what brings you to the doorstep of the police station?” Giselle shot back.
Indeed, what did it matter if Ivy had caught her at the police station?
Why should she have to explain herself to this upstart?
After all, she was a celebrated leading lady of the silver screen, while Ivy was nothing but a greenhorn. What did her presence here even matter?
“I’m not like you, Giselle. I don’t have time to take leisurely strolls to the police station. I’ve got real business here. My sister got mixed up in some foolishness, and I felt it was my duty to come by, show my support, and hopefully get her back on the right path.”
