The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2652

After a few days of rest, she was gearing up for the non-stop whirlwind of the
press tour.

She was nervous at the fan meet-up, but as the roadshow loomed closer, her
emotions were more of a mix of excitement and fear.

She was eager to see how audiences would react to the work she had poured
her heart into over the past year, yet the fear of rejection was overwhelming.
This was her first leading role, the linchpin of the entire film. She dreaded the
thought that the audience might not approve her performance.

Two nights before the roadshow kicked off, she found herself restless, tossing
and turning in Balfour's arms, unable to find solace in sleep.

On yet another sleepless night, after a heavy sigh, Balfour flicked on the bedside
lamp.

“Can't sleep, huh? Will you talk about it?” he murmured.

Ivy felt bad for keeping Balfour awake with her anxiety, but it was all too real, and
she desperately needed to vent.

“I just don’t know how to face the audience. Fans are different they support me
no matter what. But the general audience? I'm not sure. If this flops, I might
never get another role again.”

Of course, Ivy's concerns were from a purely professional standpoint. As long as
she was with Balfour, she'd never be short on opportunities.

Balfour raised an eyebrow playfully, “As long as you want to work, there are

the director said I need to build my own network. You can help me, but I also
need directors and screenwriters who genuinely want to work with me. If they're
just doing you a favor, and if audiences don’t really buy into me, then they'll be
even less inclined. I don’t want any part of strong-arming.”

Balfour pulled her closer into his embrace. “You're worrying too much.
Everyone's curious to see what you're capable of in films. Sure, they might not
genuinely like you yet, but you've got buzz, and that'll translate to box office
sales.”

There was some truth to Balfour's words, but the furrow between Ivy's brows
remained.

“But what if they don't like me and rate the movie poorly just because of that?
What if the numbers are so bad and I let the whole team down — letting everyone
who's invested so much time, money, and passion into this, down?"

Ivy was extremely anxious at the moment, fretting about every possible thing.

“Did you forget that the director
approached me to ask for you? He
wanted you for the role. He saw
something in your presence and

skills. If you didn't have the talent,

none of the rest would matter. Trust

me, even those who dislike you will

walk out of the cinema admitting that
your acting chops are undeniable.

“Hmph, you say that as if you didn't
practically drag me to the audition. I
might not have even taken the role if

it weren't for your insistence. But, I do
have to thank you, and the director as
well for seeing the potential in me. I
never thought I'd love this work this
much. No matter what, I hope this

going, but if it tanks, I'll be too scared

to take on another role.” The content
