The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2466

Clara was utterly confident about her sizzling figure and never doubted her allure. In her mind, there were men who hadn't yet succumbed to her charms, but none who could resist them.

And when it came to the wealthy elite she had met, none could hold a candle to Balfour. With his fortune and those looks, he made the so-called aristocrats of the entertainment industry look like amateurs. They were nothing but posers compared to him.

If Balfour ever decided to grace the silver screen, he would leave no room for any other leading male celebrities. The more Clara thought about it, the more she felt her heart race.

Imagine if she could snag Balfour for herself. She wouldn't have to worry about her career anymore. Just look at Ivy, who had soared to stardom under Mr. Howard's wing, starting her own studio with ease, even weathering the storm of online trolls with her head held high—all thanks to Balfour's influence.

All Clara wanted was the occasional role or commercial alongside a man like him. After all, nobody's perfect, but what more could she ask for when paired with such an exceptional man?

With a flutter of excitement, she waited for Ivy to leave the lounge before stealthily slipping inside. Balfour, perhaps too exhausted or simply unobservant, didn't even notice her entrance.

But just as she was about to make her move, she was interrupted by the blundering entrance of some silly woman, bursting in unannounced.

Clara had felt bold with Balfour's eyes closed, but now, under his penetrating gaze, she felt a genuine fear. He was a CEO who had taken his company global at such a young age, and in his presence, she felt utterly transparent.
