Suddenly, they heard a clang from the restroom. Aurum's expression instantly changed. Who was in his office?Paul also looked bewildered. "Where did that sound come from?"Aurum got up immediately. He was about to go toward the source of the sound when his secretary knocked on the door. "Mr. Lefting.""Come in!"The secretary entered with some snacks, looking puzzled as she glanced at the couch. "Mr. Lefting, where's Ivy? Why isn't she here? Did she leave early?""What did you say?" Aurum gritted his teeth. "Ivy is in my office?""Yes, Mr. Lefting. Ivy arrived when you were out, so I brought her to your office and asked her to wait for you. Then I went to prepare the refreshments."So, the person in the restroom was Ivy. She had been here all along. Then, Ivy must have heard the entire conversation.Paul's face turned pale. "Aurum..."What to do?If Ivy found out the truth and reported it to Mr. Wood, everyone would be doomed. Offending the great, vengeful Mr. Wood meant a li

That night's truth seemed to be on the verge of being exposed.Ivy decided she had to go and tell Shawn about this. Only he could think of how to resolve this. "Ivy, acting is your profession. Now, it's time for you to act, to truly display your acting skills. Stay calm, stay composed. You are a queen of the screen! From now on, you are someone who knows nothing, a naive and innocent character who has been kept in the dark!" she said to herself, looking at herself in the mirror.Anyone would have panicked when Aurum had opened the door. Even if they tried to hide or disguise it, they would inevitably show traces of their emotions on their faces, making it easy to see through them.However, Ivy was an actress. Her greatest skill was acting. She would portray herself as someone who knew nothing and would continue to act that way seamlessly so as not to arouse any suspicion from Aurum.Ivy picked up her eyebrow pencil again, wiping away the messy lines and carefully redrawing them.

She did not speak and looked despondent.Suddenly, Aurum stood up and walked over to her, gently patting her shoulder. Eventually, his hand settled on her shoulder, giving it a firm yet gentle squeeze. The warmth of his hand through her clothes touched her skin, and it tingled.Ivy remained motionless. In her mind, she recalled the first time she met Aurum. He had intervened and saved her from the skateboarders.Back then, Aurum was like a knight on a white horse, an image that Ivy remembered for a long time and was the beginning of her infatuation.But now, Ivy felt a chill run down her spine. Perhaps that encounter was also orchestrated by Aurum."Ivy, we are friends. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just ask. Of course, with your support from the Wood family, Mr. Wood has the power and influence to help you with anything. My assistance may not be necessary," Aurum said."How could it be unnecessary? I'm already touched by your kindness," Ivy replied.She gla

Aurum furrowed his brows as he looked at her, his gaze darkening slightly. "You are in such a hurry to leave?""I'm very tired. I had a shoot earlier. I just want to go home and rest," Ivy replied, her fatigue evident on her face, with no attempt to conceal it.She truly needed to get home as quickly as possible. Every second spent here was torture."I was actually thinking of having dinner together tonight, but since you want to go home, let me drive you," Aurum said."It's not necessary to trouble you...""It's no trouble. Let's go," Aurum said as he picked up his car keys and grabbed her bag.Then, he looked at Paul and the others. "You can all go now."Only then did they snap out of their daze and quickly bid farewell to them. Aurum was ushering them out. He wanted to spend time alone with Ivy."Ivy really knows how to get around. Aurum has fallen for her charm and is at her mercy," one of the assistant directors remarked.Another assistant director commented, "I thought s

"I overheard their conversation. Aurum isn't sure if I heard everything," Ivy recounted the events of the afternoon, trying to be as clear as she could.She also disclosed the bug. "What should I do, Mr. Wood?" Ivy expressed her helplessness. "I can't just toss away the bug, but I also don't want to carry it around constantly. However, if I stop using that bag altogether, Aurum will become suspicious.""Mr. Wood, I swear, everything I heard was with my own ears. I did not make up any of it. Aurum must be assessing me now. If he deems me a threat, he'll strike!" Ivy's voice quivered as she spoke, nearing tears.She was a lone woman facing a multitude of challenges, shouldering an immense mental and emotional burden. She had nowhere to rely on or confide in. Ivy was originally sailing smoothly through her acting career when she suddenly received an invitation to endorse Lovito. She thought her career was taking a turn for the better. In reality, she got what she wanted, but her life
